Homework Statement Given the magnetic field intensity, H, find E. H=\hat{y}6cos(2z)sin((2x10^7)t - 0.1x) Homework Equations \nabla \times E = \frac{- \partial B}{\partial t} The Attempt at a Solution Since we have H, we can use the relationship that \muH = B and then take the...

Is it really true that a masters degree opens up a lot more opportunities in CS? I want to go to grad school for EE and was wondering if its the same with that? Like Jordan I also want to be working with high-level bleeding-edge R&D research type of stuff, or interesting things... stuff that...

One can make a LOT of money with pretty much any degree... or not. Its best to think about college and education in a way divorced from finances. Some degrees will make you more money than others... science/engineering, for instance, pays better than what humanities majors earn. If you want a...

I agree with Carolyn that there are pros and cons to each career and if we look at the averages then I would say that its silly to choose a career based on something like money. Of course, at the very top things are probably different and engineering loses to medical, law, and especially...

Nebuqalia... reading your previous post, I feel that I agree with you if you put it that way. Its different from the "doom and gloom" type of focus of your previous posts. Along this line of thinking then, what do you feel is the value of an engineering degree as compared with others...

Yea that's exactly what I'm scared of. Our engineering program is ranked fairly high so I'm hoping its not going to be so bad as that... Astronuc, I will definitely talk to an engineering advisor or head as you suggested and see what options they are able to offer me. At this point it seems...

A Masters is definitely an option, and even a PhD is potentially an option. But why M.Eng courses? Why not just some physics courses instead...? The only problem is that even without all these extra courses it is difficult to graduate in four years with an engineering degree here. Bottomline, I...

...oh, and my interests, if that helps, are generally theoretical and abstract things. I find many things interesting, and am willing to cross borders. Math, physics, philosophy, economics/finance, research, business/entrepreneurship, leadership,... thought-intensive things mostly.

I don't think an EP degree is offered at my school. Even if it were, it would be nothing short of madness attempting a second major with the EE degree. If I were to switch to physics... what would be my options after the bachelors? After a masters? Basically, if at some point life just happens...

A single person should be able to pay off ~10k on loans each year (easily) with proper budgeting if they make anything close to 50k (take home), in my opinion. I belong to a family of 6, living in California (crazy cost of living), with less than 50k of total earnings... so it shouldn't be too...

yeah, and that's just the thing. I love physics, but just don't think that I have what it takes to make a career out of physics. Its a long and uncertain journey, only for someone who is wholly devoted to physics. Furthermore, I'm not entirely theoretical. Its just that it seems to me that...

Even though it sounds like such an oxymoron, is there any such thing? I've found that I am much more interested in the theory side of things than practical/hands-on type of stuff. I've always loved physics but just never wanted to make the commitment. I've always felt that a graduate degree in...

As an undergrad student in engineering I totally agree with CaptainQuasar and Andy. I think many times engineers are looked upon by companies as commodities, a separate and modular part that can be revised and revamped as necessary, just like machinery. Heck, as an engineer I find that many...

The smaller cylinder is not hollow and I don't think its a conductor (and its supported on an insulating stand anyway)... unless being "metal" is synonymous with conductor? E inside a conductor is 0, but I don't think the smaller cylinder is a conductor.

Homework Statement A long metal cylinder with radius a is supported on an insulating stand on the axis of a long, hollow metal tube with radius b. Thew positive charge per unit length on the inner cylinder is \lambda, and there is an equal negative charge per unit length on the outer cylinder...
