I work with a graduate student who was in the Air Force for twenty years. She is now pursuing her PhD in physics. It is definitely possible, but I would imagine the gap in between might hurt you.

You can also apply for fellowships that will fund your time at grad school. Besides paying for tuition they also include a ~$30k/year stipend.

Remember that in \overline{E}=\frac{\int \! E N(E)D(E)dE}{\int \! N(E)D(E)dE} The numerator represents the total energy. This is what you want to use to calculate it. Your limits are from 0 to Fermi energy. The occupational number (N(E)) turns to 1, because at T = 0 it is a step function...

Just finished the same problem. I calculated the total energy using the numerator term in the average energy equation. You can integrate from 0 to E Fermi because T = 0. Then plug in the Fermi energy equation from the book (i'm assuming this is from Harris). It's eqn 9-42. After a lot of...

Homework Statement Mathematically, the Azimuthal equation is the same differential equation as the one for a particle in a box. But \Phi(\phi) for m_l = 0 , is a constant and is allowed, whereas such a constant wave function is not allowed for a particle in a box. What physics accounts for...

You need to simply solve for V in your relevant equation, giving you V=sqrt(PE*2/C) Make sure not to confuse your PE with current density J. Reading your heading I made the assumption you had a question about current density.
