Hello, Recently I have been trying to build a spark getter. The idea is that a high voltage is applied to a capacitor consisting two titanium plates, once the breakdown voltage is reached, a spark is caused, and small particles of titanium (our getter) come off the anode and the cathode. I...

My apologies, we must go along the circle where y>0

Both of you have been extremely helpful. One FINAL question on a problem that seems to come up. When adding the first two waves, the ones with amplitude A, both of your methods seem to match up perfectly. But when adding the third and fourth waves together, there unfortunately still seems to...

For d\vec{r} I actually left out the second term, which is the elevation angle, since it is constant. I guess I should have clarified that I am using this in spherical coordinates, but I did produce a typo It should be dr\hat{r}+rsinθd\varphi\hat{\varphi}. Which of course just simplifies...

Rude Man No need to be sorry (which isn't rude behavior, your name seems to be a lie), I was actually using both of your methods simultaneously, and they came up with the same answers, so I was pleased. The only question I have concerning your method is how it changes when the acos(wt) also...

Yes, I would have never thought of using them as vectors when their frequencies are equal. Though I do wonder how I was meant to do the problem using the complex notation with the e's.

Homework Statement Find the work done along the semicircle (x-1)2+y2=1 from the point (0,0,0) to (2,0,0) When F=r3cos2φsinφ\hat{r} + r3*cosφ*cos(2φ) \hat{φ}Homework Equations Work W=∫F*dr where dr=dr= dr\hat{r} + rsinφdφ\hat{φ} The Attempt at a Solution I convert the equation of the line...

Just wanted to express my thanks to both of you for taking time to help me understand this problem.

Homework Statement Four waves of equal frequency ω are made to interfere. The amplitudes of the first two waves are equal (A), but those of the other two are equal to 2A. Their phase angles relative to that of the first wave are 0, ∏/3, ∏/4, and 2∏/3. Find the amplitude, frequency and phase...

Thanks for the replies I believe you are saying that the force along \varphi=0 is just zero along the r component, which is the only component that matters, since there is no motion in the other two coordinates. Since my force is actually zero at \varphi=0, it doesn't matter that I went from...

[b]1. Find the work done by the force F=r3*cos2\varphi*sin\varphi*\hat{r} + r3*cos\varphi*cos(2\varphi) \hat{\varphi} from the point (0,0,0) to (2,0,0) Homework Equations Work=\int F*dr where dr= dr\hat{r} + rd\varphi\hat{\varphi}The Attempt at a Solution When muliplying the line element, dr...
