    Inductor Currents: Find L for 15kHz Oscillator & 6V RMS, 65mA Peak

    No need to help me on this problem I figured it out I didn't notice the rms on the voltage so I forgot to multiply by square root of 2

    How Do You Calculate Torque in a Current Loop with a Hanging Mass?

    I can't find any equations in my book for turns in the loop so if you could help me out with that Id appriciated it and I was wondering that myself as for the picture it is set up as a rectangular loop so I wasn't sure that the turns ment anything and wouldn't it make the sin of theta 90 degrees?

    Proton's Closest Approach to Mercury Nucleus

    How would I find the charge on the Mercury. Wouldn't it have a neutral charge or 0 with 80 electrons and protons and even if it is a charged state which state would it be?

    Proton's Closest Approach to Mercury Nucleus

    Homework Statement A proton is fired from far away toward the nucleus of a mercury atom. Mercury is element number 80, and the diameter of the nucleus is 14.0 fm. If the proton is fired at a speed of 4.0 times 10^7, what is its closest approach to the surface of the nucleus? Assume the nucleus...

    Wave interference of loudspeakers

    I tried doing that but I must of misunderstood you because it still tells me I am wrong. I did 10cm/80cm * 2pi and this is still wrong.
