    Physics Research for Undergraduate Physicists not looking to go into academics

    True. However, I guess a better way to phrase it would be, is the time devoted to getting research experience as worthwhile considering the liabilities (maintaining high GPA, writing good applications, spending summers away from home). Obviously, it is not all liablities and will likely be a...

    Physics Research for Undergraduate Physicists not looking to go into academics

    I'm a second year undergraduate theoretical physics student. I really enjoy physics and if I'm perfectly honest I'm not certain whether or not I want to pursue a career in academics or not. However, I've had a question on my mind relating to research experience required for careers outside of...

    Thermodynamics problem relating to Chemical Potentials

    Thanks for your reply. For part (a) are you suggesting that the answer is then zero, as the chemical potentials are the same due to equilibrium? I can't say that this is incorrect but it's not something that I've heard before. For (b) I still don't know how I would handle given the information...

    Thermodynamics problem relating to Chemical Potentials

    For part (a), I used this formula where where the i's represent the substance being used and mu_i^0 represents some reference potential. However, to my knowledge this simply calculates the change in chemical potential from one state to another which is not of much help in finding the relative...
