Hey Stephen, Interesting calculation. My intention is to be able to build a graph, with perfumes in the x access, and 'likability' (this scalar value) in the y access. I am not sure what formula to use. I am confused however, with this calculation. \frac{S_A}{S_A + S_B} If I...

Thanks Michael, That Voting Paradox has opened up a number of different "Voting" articles for me, which are pretty interesting. But there are so many of them.. I don't know which one I need, if any. Avoiding the question, which perfume is better or worse. I just want to find out how I can, as...

This is difficult for me to describe. If anyone can get the gist of what I am talking about and can point me to the correct keyword, would be really helpful. I'll explain this through an example: I have many perfumes. I get surveys from people to see which perfumes they like more. The way...

Imagine you have a cylindrical dielectric charged with 100KV on one end and -100KV on the other end. Now take an uncharged metal ball and bring it close to the positive end of the dielectric. From what I understand, the metal ball will be induced into having a charge that will come close...

Indeed this is what I meant. Instead of there being fundamental steps of conductivity, conductivity is noted to be rational. (You can express it as a fraction of quantised values.) Can the same be said for distance then, as per what was shown above? Thank you, Veniamin

As per: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_charge Charge is quantum. As per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_flux_quantum Magnetic flux is quantum. Magnetic flux is measured as follows: Magnetic flux = \frac{Energy * Time}{Charge} Thus: \frac{Charge}{Magnetic flux} is...

Since neutrinos have a near zero mass, would there be many of them created then before getting anywhere near the electron-positron pair?

Pair production interests me - create matter from electromagnetic waves. So far I have read that a Positron-Electron pair can be created by photons having energy exceeding twice the rest energy (m * c ^ 2) of an electron (1.022 MeV). So, if you have photons exceeding the energy of an up...

Hello, I am interested if anyone ever studied if a particle's halflife under different conditions. Usually you can see how long a particle lasts by measuring how long it moves at a relativistic speed. Has anyone ever tried to experiment and see if having the particle move at a...

SystemTheory, I really like your attached picture. May I ask you where you got this illustration? It shows the pretty well the dielectric polarity that I have over looked. I originally ignored the dielectric because I thought that modern capacitors are mainly influenced by the area and distance...

Indeed, after spending a while on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor#Parallel_plate_model", I found that E = +- charge density / some constant .. It goes on taking the integral of E * something = Voltage But, I don't understand what E equals if you have two different charge densities...

That depends on the capacitance of all of these capacitors. You can have two capacitors in series that exactly equal the capacitance of another capacitor. Depending on their capacitance. Depending on the capacitance is how fast the capacitor will discharge. The smaller the capacitance, the...

Voltage = Charge / Capacitance. This assumes that the capacitor has +Q charge on one side and -Q charge on the other side. What if you have two different charges? I mean in terms of static electricity, if you have a piece of metal with one charge, and another piece of metal with another...

Although I tried not to, it seems like I have caused some confusion. Charge moves from A- to one plate of the middle capacitor. Charge moves from B+ to the other plate of the middle capacitor. Charge is conserved. A+ and B- contains the same amount of charge as it did before. The "pull"...

sophiecentaur, I'm not very sure how you mean. To answer your question, the center capacitor is 0 volts at all times. If you are to connect A+ and B-, then completing the circuit, you are feeding 10 Volts from the two side capacitors to the initially uncharged 1 Farad capacitor. I have thought...
