    Magnitude & Direction of Magnetic Field at Point A

    At B its much easier since the b field is the superposition of the respective fields. If it was an electric field, then we can just draw a gaussian surface and just see what the surface encloses. Is it the same with magnetic fields to draw a surface and see what current it encloses? I can see...

    Magnitude & Direction of Magnetic Field at Point A

    Homework Statement The figure above (right) shows a cross-sectional view of a coaxial cable. The center of the conductor is surrounded by a rubber layer, an outer conductor and another rubber layer. In a particular application, the current in the inner conductor is I1= 1.00 A out of the page...

    Can a Capacitor Have a Positive and Negative Plate Charge?

    Homework Statement Is is possible to have capacitor with one plate charge +Q and another charge -K, K≠Q. Homework Equations C=Q/ΔV. Because i wouldn't know what to substitute for Q.. The Attempt at a Solution I don't think it is possible for a capacitor connected to a single...

    Two conducting spheres connected by conducting wire.

    Homework Statement Two spherical conductors of radii r1 and r2 are separated by a distance much greater than the radius of either sphere. The spheres are connected by a conducting wire. The charges on the sphere are in equilibrium are q1 and q2 respectively, they are uniformly charged. Find...

    What Is the Work Done by the Gas and the Final Gas Temperature?

    Homework Statement An ideal gas at 300 K and 1.5x10^5 Pa is contained in a piston cylinder device. The piston is 0.1m above the base of the cylinder, has a diameter of 0.15 m and is allowed to move freely. Heat is transferred to the cylinder causing the piston to move a distance of 0.05 m. The...

    Thermodynamics final temperature of gas

    Ok, today the lecturer started on kinetic theory of gasses, i realized jR/2 is the heat capacity. and for oxygen, j=5. Thanks.

    Thermodynamics final temperature of gas

    "He didn't need to take into account pressure, just as he didn't take into account Volume because PV = nRT. He has nRT, just in the form of m.c.dT." Thank you.

    Thermodynamics final temperature of gas

    I am not using molar heat capacity? on my notes it says Kinetic energy=3/2nRT??. But i am confused with the teacher's method. Is heat dependent on pressure? the teachers method is i see it as putting solution1 of temp1 and solution2 of temp2 together and finding final temp. But with gas of...

    Thermodynamics final temperature of gas

    Homework Statement Two thermally insulated vessels are connected by a narrow tube fitted with a valve that is initially closed. One vessel of volume 16.8 L contains oxygen at a temperature of 300 K and a pressure of 1.75 atm. The other vessel of volume 22.4 L contains oxygen at a temperature...
