    Why Do Opposite Charges Result from Induction?

    Induction --> Positively Charged rod is brought near neutral rod. Conduction --> Charged rod touches the neutral rod creating a transfer in charge What I don't understand is that why "Induction" causes the two rods to have opposite charges. Is it because the positively charge rod repels...

    Understanding the Genetic Code: What is Universality and Redundancy?

    I'm having problems with three terms that are used to describe the genetic code: universality redundancy non-overlapping reading frame 1) Universality: For the most part, I understand. I know that the universality of the code allows for the limited exchange of genetic information among...

    Sn1 vs Sn2 Reactions: Which is Favored?

    Hello. How do we know which reaction is favored? I know that: -a primary alkyl halide favors the Sn2 -weak bases promote sn2 because they can attack sp3 carbon more easily Let's say we are given an electrophile and a nucleophile. Is there a foolproof trick which determines which...

    Calculating Span of 3 Vectors in R^3

    I have a question that kind of relates tp Josh123's questions about spanning. Let's say we have a subspace: (2,4,7) (1,3,2)(1,1,5) Since one of them is a linear combination of the other two, does it mean that we only need two of those vectors to form the basis? Span{(1,3,2) (1,1,5)}

    Is Answer to Subspace Question Acceptable?

    Ok thanks. What if I have a multiplication: S={(x,y,z) E R^3 l xy =0}. To prove that this is a subspace (or not a subspace), the only way I know to do so is by assuming a value for x, y and z before checking if it's closed under scalar mutiplication adn addition. Is there another way?

    Is Answer to Subspace Question Acceptable?

    I just wanted to know if my answer is acceptable. Q: S={(x,y,z) E \mathbb{R}^{3} l x^2 + y^2 +z ^2 =0} Is it a subspace of \mathbb{R}^{3}? My answer: It is a subspace if x=0, y =0, z= 0 Let u=(0,0,0) u2=(0,0,0) and k be a scalar u + u2 = (0,0,0) Closed under addition...

    Solving the Biot-Savart Problem

    well. I don't know u and uXv... Basically, the only value I know of is v. How would I do the right hand rule. Is there a way of finding out about the direction of u simply with I along?\ By the way, is u X v = B?
