I'm sorry, but I'm still confused. Why do Eq and E2q cancel? Also how do you get from E = KQ/r2 to Enet = sqrt(2) x E?

You need to look at both blocks as a system. Friction Force due to gravity on the hanging block. <------------------(mass of both blocks)-----------------------------------------------> Keep in mind that a=f/m isn't really an equation. F=ma is the...

Homework Statement A square with sides d has charges q, 2q, 3q and 4q arranged clockwise around the corners of the square. What are the magnitude and direction of the field at the centre of the square? Hints: consider pairs on opposite sides of the square. Choose a coordinate system that makes...

Sorry, what is a PE?

Irrelevant. I didn't ask that. My question is essentially what can you do with a BS in Physics vs a BS in Engineering. Also, how likely is it to get a career with either?

Research, as I said. Not space travel.

Because...what can you do with a Bachelor of Science in Physics other than research?

Greetings, I have just completed my first semester of my Bachelor of Science degree and I got all A's, except for Biology, (but who cares, I'll never touch the subject again). I really, really enjoyed it, but I started thinking about what I wanted to do in four years. I don't want to pursue...
