Say I have a stationary point charge with a matching charge moving past it at a velocity. What is the magnetic potential energy of the stationary point charge? The formula for magnetic potential energy involves pole strength so I am confused. I can calculate the B field the stationary particle...

Me! I'm doing computational material science stuff with LaSigma

Idaho sent out rejections. Anyone else going to LSU?

No, they didn't specify a project, but they pointed me towards the experimental condensed matter guys. Also LSU has apartment style living versus dorms at KSU

Accepted to KSU and LSU. Anyone know which has better condensed matter mentors/facilities? I'm leaning towards LSU. Also asked for more decision time because I haven't heard back from the majority of my applications :(

Got my acceptance to KSU today! Haven't heard from anyone else yet.

Thanks for the input. I thought I's weren't supposed to be used in formal writing? (hence the limited usage)

I was wondering if you guys could provide some input on my personal statement. The prompt is, in 400 words, to explain your interest in the program, how it fits in with your goals, the science questions that intrigue you, the areas in which you would like to conduct research, relevant academic...

Okay that site there seems to be many questions with little answers even searching through the forums, and the 2012 Physics Graduate School acceptance/rejection thread here on PF is only one page...

Thanks!

PF Resident Academics... I'd like to gauge my chances, seeing as there doesn't seem to be a large amount of statistics concerning phD acceptance. I was wondering if you guys(or anyone extensively knowledgeable on the subject) could give me some insight on the quality of students accepted into...

Homework Statement Attached. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution For #1: I've attempted to use the identity sin(x)sin(y) = 1/2(cos(x-y)-cos(x+y)) and the similar related identities for sin(x)cos(y) and cos(x)cos(y), but I end with answers that are undefined when m = n due to the...

I'm almost positive I failed the part that had Car parts, construction, etc. on it. But the academic side was almost too simple.

See...how will I know whether that discipline and values are for me? A Recruiter will be extremely biased, and I really am not familiar with anyone who has been through it.

Can someone link me to the nuclear navy program you guys are talking about? Also if I decide to do AFROTC, is it possible to enter the navy if I change my mind? Also I have to grades and ability to get a recommendation to get into either the Naval or Air Force academy, what are the advantages...
