Undergrad Length Contraction: Traveling in a Space Ship
Suppose I'm traveling inside a spaceship at speed comparable to light between two points A and B. According to me the distance between the two points will be shortened due to length contraction. But actually my spaceship passes through every point between A and B so the distance measured by...- Flying_Dutchman

RS flip flop -- Replacing a NOR gate with an OR gate
In the RS flip flops using a NOR gate if we replace the NOR by an OR gate all the outputs will be indeterminate. Both outputs Q and Q' will every time yield 1. Can you explain how the inputs 0 and 0 will give 1 1 as output- Flying_Dutchman

Transfer characteristic of this circuit
When input is above 5V only this branch conducts because the diode will be forward biased . I tried using Kirchoffs voltage law to find the relation between input output voltages but for that i need current that is not given.- Flying_Dutchman

Graduate Electrodynamics: divergence of E in empty space
del.E=P/e• which is one of the fundamental Maxwell's equation. We arrived at the conclusion that since there r no charges in free space because vacuum can't have any matter therefore del.E=0 . So isn't it wrong to conversely say that since del.E=0 there r no charges in free space when del.E=0...- Flying_Dutchman

Undergrad Are Dimensions Truly Relative to the Observer in the Coastline Paradox?
A point is taken as an example of a 1D, a plane 2D and a sphere is 3D. If a point is viewed say at 1000x enlarged the point appears as a plane similarly if we a view a large sphere from very far it does appear as a dot. So can we say that dimension are relative to the observer ? Had our sights...- Flying_Dutchman

Undergrad Physical meaning of the equation E = - del V
The gradient of a function gives a vector perpendicular to it's surface. So the equation reads electric field is the negative of the vector perpendicular to the equipotential surface. I know electric field and understand potential but I can't physically make sense for the above sentence how LHS...- Flying_Dutchman
