    Is Physics the Right Major for Me?

    To be honest, I want to be a pure mathematician.However, the courses in CS and physics are rather strong, so I need to be careful enough not to wreck my career. I do like physics but my confidence has been seriously shaken.

    How to prove Fardays' law of electromagnetic induction

    I apologize for not being clear enough.The question should instead read as: "Prove that Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction is consistent with the principle of conservation of energy".

    Is Physics the Right Major for Me?

    Here is the context: I am in high school and I am studying physics, chemistry and math in high school.(along with English and another language). Some months back, I started my 12th grade(that was in April) and I did very badly in physics.The single-variable calculus-based syllabus consisted of...

    How to prove Fardays' law of electromagnetic induction

    Homework Statement Here is a question which frequently occurs on on our school test: "Prove Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction on the basis of principle of conservation of energy" I do not really know how to begin.Thanks!

    Why is the terminology for n-p type semi-conductors different from convention?

    Homework Statement I am reading a chapter on semi-conductors in a text.It talks about n-p type semi-conductors and states that "the potential of the n-side is higher than that of the p-side" However, by convention, in case of batteries for example,we designate the negative terminal as lower...

    Role of mass in this problem on electrostatics

    Homework Statement Positive charge Q is distributed uniformly over a circular ring of radius R.A particle with mass 'm' and a negative charge 'q' is placed on the axis at a distance 'x' from the centre.Find the force on the particle.Assuming x<<R, find the time period of oscillation of the...

    Calculation of the moment of inertia

    Thank you very much.I didn't quite think of that.

    Calculation of the moment of inertia

    I was wondering why we can not always assume the mass of a body to be concentrated at the Center of Mass and then multiplying the total mass by the square of the distance from center of mass to the axis,while calculating the moment of inertia of a body.(I found this question in University...
