By run a bit warm, do you mean warm enough to be a fire hazard, or too warm to touch? Is there a formula I can use to calculate the heat dissipated by the pot and its accompanied fixed resistor?

Hello all, I'm attempting to create a dimmer circuit for some lights Id like to install in my room. I've attached the diagram below. Heres the problem: When I increase the resistance of potentiometer 2, for example, to decrease the current lamp 2 receives (thus dimming the lamp) the other...

Thanks Bob S. Ill try to see if I can get that model going in a simulation. Anyone have experience installing Ansoft's Maxwell SV (student version) on Linux? Specifically Ubuntu?

Anyone know of particular arrangements of magnets that would do what I am looking for? Some simulation software might help. Any recommendations?

Hm, well... Problem is I cannot really put anything more than a few inches above the magnet. And the flux lines need to be quite strong even at about a foot from the top of the magnet.

Is it possible to... Minimize the distance the flux travels in the x-axis from the centre of a magnet. (in 2d representation) Ive attached an cross-section image detailing what I'd like to happen. A "shield" is wrapped around the magnet, leaving only the N and S poles exposed. The flux is...

From the reading I've done I've gathered that selecting an ABET accredited engineering undergraduate program is generally a worthwhile endeavor. However, is it so worthwhile in the case of Engineering Physics? I ask because that is the degree I wish to obtain and it is not accredited at the...

Ah it appears that I've done some mislabeling. By NE, yes, i mean nuclear engineering, and by CE I mean ChemE. I look forward to hearing from you Thanks GPT

1. After having done some research into which undergraduate degrees (of personal interest) would be most aptly suited to a future career in nanotechnology I have arrived upon the following majors: -CE -NE -Engineering Physics -Materials Science -Physics a. I would like to know what...
