    Graduate Proof of Lagrange inversion theorem

    Hi I am unable to find the proof of the Lagrange inversion formula as given in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_inversion_theorem#Theorem_statement I have searched all over the internet as well as the original paper published by Lagrange. Still could not find it. Any help would be...

    Graduate Gauss's law for electrodynamics

    Gauss's law can be proved qualitatively by proving that the field inside a charged closed surface is zero. However Maxwells' equations says that gauss's law holds true even for electrodynamics. how can this be verified experimentally? Thanks in advance !

    Yes that's were the heat comes from

    Undergrad Thermodynamics and thermoelectrics

    No , this is a qualitative analysis

    Undergrad Thermodynamics and thermoelectrics

    Lets say that the resulting electric energy is stored in a battery . . now how does the entropy increase or even remain same

    Undergrad Thermodynamics and thermoelectrics

    Thermoelectrics convert heat to electric power (albeit a meager amount), It reduces the entropy of a system. Does this mean that it defies the second law of thermodynamics !

    Graduate Is Gauss' Law Applicable to Dynamic Charges and All Surfaces?

    Gauss's law is verified experimentally for static charges, how is it verified for dynamic charges ?

    Undergrad The simple yet best challenge i ve ever seen

    considering an ideal rigid body upon which the laws hold true it is possible to have zero relative motion and by the way where is the energy lost !

    Undergrad The simple yet best challenge i ve ever seen

    energy is lost as heat only if there is relative motion between the bodies after contact. and if this happens in vacuum there is no sound as well

    Undergrad The simple yet best challenge i ve ever seen

    fine if the object has some ideal adhesive over it ... then few particles stick to it how is the energy lost

    Undergrad The simple yet best challenge i ve ever seen

    the simple yet best challenge i ve ever seen ! Fine let's keep it simple Assume a mass of 'm' moving at velocity 'v'. now if I somehow increase the mass of it to '2m' (by some means as a mass sticking on to it newly ... or any other means of no loss of energy ... now don't tell me its...
