    Solving Boundary Conditions for Electric Field in Dielectric Media

    Thanks Siddharth, but if we draw a picture of the two media, geometrically we can conclude that E1t = E2t where E1t=E1-E1n and the same with E2t (I guess you get the picture). I don't see how this would help. Moreover we are dealing with 3-D ( I guess I might have understood it if it was 2-D)...

    Solving Vector Calculus Problems in r1(t) and r2(t)

    If we get the Unit Tangent Vectors then they are in terms of t. What do we substitute for t to get the value? The point we have is (3,-2,25) ->(x,y,z).

    Solving Vector Calculus Problems in r1(t) and r2(t)

    Vector Calculus Greetings everyone, I have a problem: "Consider the curves r1(t)=(t, 1-t, 16+t^2) and r2(t)=(8-s,s-7, s^2) a) At what point do they meet? b) Find their angle of intersection The first part is easy, but I'm encountering some problems with b). To find the angle we need...

    Integral from 0 to pi/2 of (x*[sin x]^2) dx

    Hello everyone, I was solving an integral, but I am not quite sure for the final answer. If someone has the time, just take a look. Integral from 0 to pi/2 of (x*[sin x]^2)dx I used by parts integration; using u=(sinx)^2 du=2 sinx cosx...

    Electric field on a point charge

    For E2 i.e the middle one, I used just 1.01 cm (actually 0.0101 m) and for E3 4cm + 1.01 cm, which is 0.0501 m.

    Electric field on a point charge

    Hello guys, I have a question which I think I solved it right but I don't understand why the final answer is wrong. Here's the problem: Consider three charges as shown. k is 8.98755 * 10^9 N m^2/c^2. What is the electric field at a point 1.01 cm to the left of the middle charge? Ans. in N/C...

    Help Needed: Solving Logic Design for Traffic Light Controller

    Hello, I am finishing my first semester as an electrical engineer. Thus, we have to do a final project. The problem is that I didn't have to much time in the lab to finish it up, so it is a little bit difficult to solve it theoretically. If anyone can help, I would be grateful. The project...

    Conservation of energy of a dart gun

    Thanks Parth Dave, In fact the answer was positive. But the second Part is weird. As I told, I applied: mgh = 0.5mv^2 and hence I found v. BUt the answer was wrong. What might be the problem?
