    Don't know where to begin mag field question

    i tried to solve the problem...can someone please check my work? i think i may have made a mistake somewhere along the way I = 300 is given for the question B for Point A = [μ0I / 2pi]*[(1/x) - (1/r+x)] = (4pi *10^-7)(300) / (2)(pi) * (1/1m) - (1/1.5m) = 1.97*10^-4 T B for Point B =...

    Circuit Breakers - tripping or not tripping?

    Well 4186 is spec heat of water and 2093 is spef heat of ice. I also converted the temps to kelvins. Then I input them into the equations...I did Q1= (800)(4186)(305.93)=102*10^7 and Q2=(800)(2093)(287.93)=482*10^6. Then i got Q= Q1-Q2 = 542*10^6.

    Capacitance of circuit & RC time constant

    Hmm I don't quite understand what you mean. I get the part about q being proportional to v so .75q~.75v. But being that the equation is q=q0(1-e^-t/RC), what would q0 be? And the whole RC time constant thing confuses me completely...like how can t=RC?
