Minimum Electrical Potential Difference required to stop Alpha particle
I'm having the exact same problem. Lemme guess, Physics 30 correspondance? https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=461837 I did it the other way though, so any answer on which is a more accurate answer would be appreciated, although clarence.p's seems to make more logical sense seeing...- Eloc Jcg

Solving Complex Impedance Homework Q2
I don't have any current experience for solving with impedence in a parallel circuit, so you may need to look up the rules for combining elements in a parallel circuit. The 10 and 20 ohm resistors should take the inverses of 10 & 20 then add them together then inverse that answer for the...- Eloc Jcg

Solving Complex Impedance Homework Q2
I am not entirely sure on how it is technically derived, but I know that Impedence (Z) is the total effective resistance to the flow of current by a combination of the elements in the circuit. Resistance being in the real plance, while inductance and capacitance are on the imaginary plane...- Eloc Jcg

Can someone explain the concept of Mass-Energy Equivalence in simple terms?
Mass-energy equivalence is the formula stating the relationship between energy & mass. Also known as E = mc^2. It states that the difference in Energy is equal to the difference in mass time time the speed of light squared. Wikipedia has a page on it if you search E=mc2.- Eloc Jcg

Solving Complex Impedance Homework Q2
For the formulas that you have posted, I personally don't have any experience dealing with those, unless the ones that I use use different variables. And I'm not really sure what the "complex" part of Impedence means except maybe complex numbers. I would solve the question using the formula Z =...- Eloc Jcg

Electric Potential Difference involving Alpha Decay question
Homework Statement A plutonium-239 nucleus, initially at rest, undergoes alpha decay to produce a uranium-235 nucleus. The uranium-235 nucleus has a mass of 3.90x10^-25 kg, & moves away from the location of the decay with a speed of 2.62x10^5 m/s. Determine the minum electric potential...- Eloc Jcg
