    Induced current in a loop circuit magnetic field

    Homework Statement Homework Equations I know this is supposed to use Lenz's law, but I don't really understand it V=IR The Attempt at a Solution I calculated the resistance of the circuit to be 6.4e-6 / .0015 = 0.00426666667, but that's as far as i know what to do

    Finding Force Given Angle: A Last-Minute Attempt

    Homework Statement Homework Equations this is what i think i figured out to be the equation for force as a function of θ: F(θ) = (μmg)/(cos(θ) + μsin(θ)) The Attempt at a Solution I tried to find extrema using the numbers given to figure out the angle, but the number i am getting is not...

    Question about Beta distribution (probability)

    i know that for f(x) to be a legitimate pdf, the integral from negative infinity to positive infinity of f(x) has to equal 1, but i don't know how that could help me find c in this situation

    Question about Beta distribution (probability)

    Homework Statement 1. The Beta distribution: A Beta random variable is a positive continuous random variable de ned on [0; 1] that has two parameters associated with it, usually denoted and . Both and must be positive real numbers. The beta distribution is used to model the...

    RC Circuits, time to charge a capacitor

    C(E/2) = CE(1-e^-t/RC) 1/2 = 1 - e^-t/RC e^-t/RC = 1/2 -t/RC = ln(1/2) -t = ln(1/2) * RC t = -1 * ln(1/2) * RC t = -1 * -.6931 * 24 * 13e-6 = 0.000216 s = 0.216 ms Thanks again for the help, these forums (you especially) are fantastic

    Another RC circuit problem, don't understand why my answer is wrong

    is it just the same equation except without the "1 -" part? so V0(e^-t/TAU)?

    RC Circuits, time to charge a capacitor

    the charge is Q = CV which would be 13uF * E / 2

    Another RC circuit problem, don't understand why my answer is wrong

    Homework Statement In the figure below, R1 = 13.0 kΩ, R2 = 18.0 kΩ, C = 0.600 µF, and the ideal battery has emf = 20.0 V. First, the switch is closed a long time so that the steady state is reached. Then the switch is opened at time t = 0. What is the current in resistor 2 at t = 4.00 ms...

    RC Circuits, time to charge a capacitor

    I'm not sure i follow what you are saying? Would the combination of the 2 be equal to E?

    RC Circuits, time to charge a capacitor

    the charge on the capacitor would be Q = CV = (13e-6)(E) if the potential difference were E

    RC Circuits, time to charge a capacitor

    Homework Statement Switch S in the figure below is closed at time t = 0, to begin charging an initially uncharged capacitor of capacitance C = 13.0 µF through a resistor of resistance R = 24.0 . At what time is the electric potential across the capacitor equal to that across the resistor...
