    Undergrad Solve for L: Unknown Exponential Function & Plain Side

    I am doing a heat transfer problem and I need to solve for the length of something. I have reduced the equation to this: [C3/C1*L] = e^(-C2*L) Find L Where: C1, C2, & C3 are constants Please help I am in a real bind!

    Study Guide Concept Question on Magnetic Fields

    Homework Statement Why are magnetic forces not always conservative? I came across this question and to my knowledge they are always conservative...can anyone explain why they wouldn't be?

    Equivalent Capacitance or Resistance and Kirchoff's rules

    I agree

    Equivalent Capacitance or Resistance and Kirchoff's rules

    I was pretty sure it was the other way around...let me double check

    Equivalent Capacitance or Resistance and Kirchoff's rules

    Ctot = 4KC?
  6. L

    Equivalent Capacitance or Resistance and Kirchoff's rules

    In that case Rtot = 2R and Ctot = 4K*epsilon*area/distance

    Equivalent Capacitance or Resistance and Kirchoff's rules

    So just the total resistance and total capacitance?

    Surface charge, electric fields, and capacitance

    Homework Statement Two large conducting sheets are charged with a positive surface charge density. They stand vertically facing each other a distance d apart. a.) suddenly, we shrink the left sheet to a square with sides equal to d, what is the field at the point along the central axis of...

    Equivalent Capacitance or Resistance and Kirchoff's rules

    Homework Statement If each capacitor is filled with a dielectric material (with constant K, kappa), what is the new equivalent RC circuit? All resistors have equal value, and capacitors have equal value (without a dielectric), C. Homework Equations C = (Epsilon * Area) / Distance C with a...

    Uniform Electric Fields concept question

    Homework Statement This is a concept question on a study guide I came across and I really didn't know how to answer it or think about it...I havn't seen anything like this question before How could you prepare a spherical chamber that has a uniform electric field everywhere inside?
