    Finding minimum normalized positive number

    Hello, I was asked to write a C program to find minimum normalized positive number that can be represented in my computer. I know that the value is 2.2250738585072014e-308. I wrote the program to find the machine precision. Now i need to make some parameter changes to this program to find the...

    Undergrad Is this equation linear or nonlinear?

    is this equation linear or nonlinear?? Hello, I am a little bit confused.. Is the following equations linear or non linear: (dy/dt)^2+2y(t) = x(t). (here i don't know if (d^2y/dt^2) = (dy/dt)^2 ,if this is true then i know it's linear) dy/dt +(sin(t))y(t) = dx/dt +2x(t)...

    Other Becoming an Engineer: Considerations and Personal Experiences

    I would pick for computer engineering because it has a way broader scope than aeronautical engineering. Engineering is a field to go for if you are really interested in it.. "DON'T PICK IT BY LOOKING AT THE FUTURE INCOME ONLY". It is a Profession with GREAT responsibility. SO.. first make sure...

    Find the flux passing through the plane

    I saw in the textbook the charge on the line can be also calculated as pL*L which gives me 4 micro C.But i don't if i use this inorder to solve the problem or not..

    Find the flux passing through the plane

    i thought i need to use Gauss' Law[(integral)D.ds] to find the flux through the entire surface.Then for finding the D for the finite wire what do i do? i am confused..

    Find the flux passing through the plane

    Homework Statement A linear charge pl=2.0microC/m lies on the y-z plane.from[0 -1 1] to [0 1 1]. Find the flux passing through the plane extending from 0 to 1.0m in the x-dir and -infinity to +infinity in the y direction. ***i wrote this in MATLAB and got 0.5micro as answer*** Homework...

    Calculate Electric Field Magnitude at x=0.5, y=0.5

    you are picturing it wrong. when you draw the picture you have q1 at (0,0)ie, x=0 and y=0 for q1. similarily, for q2 it is (1,0) where x=1 and y=0. Now you are required to find the the electric field at (0.5,0.5) that is x=0.5 and y=0.5. Hope you have a picture now. when you are finding the E...

    Calculate Electric Field Magnitude at x=0.5, y=0.5

    find the distance from the charge to the points(0.5,0.5) (this is the xy coordinate for the point in space where you are trying to find the electric field)

    Calculate Electric Field Magnitude at x=0.5, y=0.5

    to find magnitude: think Pythagorean ;)

    Calculate Electric Field Magnitude at x=0.5, y=0.5

    try finding the E at (0.50,0.50) from each charge using the equation. then it's a matter of summing both electric fields.(Vector algebra).

    Decibel Homework Help: Definition & Explanation

    ok.. so 10 deciBel = 1Bel (ie, straightway we know the value in deciBel > value in Bel) so the dB must be dB = 10log(P1/P2), because deciBel value is 10 times bigger than the Bel value in this case.

    So I had a discussion with my research advisor about resistance vs. impedance

    yeah you say it is 'purely resistive'

    Mesh Analysis - confusion on writing equations

    Loop2: 0 = 3000(I1 - I2) - 2000I2 - 2000I2 yes it has to do with the passive sign convention. This equation can also be written as follows 0 = -3000(I2 - I1) - 2000I2 - 2000I2. I2 and I1 goes through 3Kohms, but in opposite directions. in the second loop just follow I2 and write...
