    How Does Refraction Affect Apparent Depth in a Layered Liquid System?

    I think I see what you're saying. With the oil there, the equation should look like this: 20/1.48 + 20(1.48/1.333) Am I on the right track?

    How Does Refraction Affect Apparent Depth in a Layered Liquid System?

    Homework Statement A beaker has a height of 40.0 cm. The lower half of the beaker is filled with water (n = 1.333), and the upper half is filled with oil (n = 1.48). To a person looking down into the beaker from above, what is the apparent depth of the bottom? Homework Equations...

    Radius of coil in magnetic field

    Homework Statement Two coils have the same number of circular turns and carry the same current. Each rotates in a magnetic field in a setup similar to the square coil in the figure below. Coil 1 has a radius of 4.2 cm and rotates in a 0.19 T field. Coil 2 rotates in a 0.42 T field. Each coil...

    Uniform electric field in a triangular arrangement

    I figured that using the 0.8 twice is part of my problem, but I'm honestly lost as to how to determine Vb and Va, etc. without any information about a charge at each of those points, let alone calculating delta(v) between those without any of that information. If someone could give me a clue on...

    Uniform electric field in a triangular arrangement

    Homework Statement The drawing shows a uniform electric field that points in the negative y direction; the magnitude of the field is 1600 N/C. http://www.webassign.net/CJ/p19-32.jpg a) Determine the electric potential difference VB - VA between the points A and B. The answer here is...

    Find the magnitude of the electric field at the center

    Okay, I was able to answer part a of the problem (143.84 N/C), but I'm having some trouble with the second part of the problem and hoping that someone can assist me. I believe the angle that I need to use to calculate the x and y components is 26.6 degrees. There also is not an x component to...

    Find the magnitude of the electric field at the center

    That comes out to 71.92 N/C, which still isn't the correct answer. Are my set-up and equations correct?

    Find the magnitude of the electric field at the center

    Homework Statement The magnitude of each of the charges in the figure is 9.00x10^-12 C. The lengths of the sides of the rectangle are 3.00 cm and 6.00 cm. Find the magnitude of the electric field at the center of the rectangle in figures a and b. http://www.webassign.net/CJ/18-21fig.gif...
