Sure I can offer a bit more info. The Al strip is definitely not melting. It is part of a proprietary process that is being used daily. It works very well, but my boss would like to gain a much better understanding of the physics going on so we can know if the process is fully optimized or not...

Well that is how joule heating works. You have some potential and some current that creates some power dissipation over the object in question.

Hello everyone, I was hoping to get some insight on a model I am trying to create. Quick background in case it is important, I am now working at a new internship I landed for the summer doing some modeling and what not on areas of physics I have never worked on before. It has also been a few...

Hello all, I have a problem with a typical style of problem I seem to always struggle with. Just to clear this up, I am studying for my comprehensive exams later this summer. So I am going through past problems to bone up on the last two years of grad school. At which point I came across this...

Hello everyone, We come to the end of another semester and its presentation time. I have chosen to discuss how to prepare different quantum mechanical systems for various applications. So my question for you guys is, are there any interesting experimental techniques I should look into. I am...

So I figured it out! I just needed to be more confident in myself haha. So had I kept going I would have seen that aibjdiej is the result I was looking for. However the second portion should then reduce to zero... and luckily it does. To prove this you can write out the sum and see that they...

1. The problem is: ( a x b )⋅[( b x c ) x ( c x a )] = [a,b,c]^2 = [ a⋅( b x c )]^2 I am supposed to solve this using index notation... and I am having some problems. 2. Homework Equations : I guess I just don't understand the finer points of index notation. Every time I think I am getting...
