    Graduate Is Quantum Mechanics Necessary for Understanding Exchange Coupling Mechanism?

    how much must I know about the strong and weak nuclear force to adequately derive the Schrödinger equation using maxwell's equations and QED?

    High School Loss of information in tangents

    why is there a lack of accuracy in this subsitution? \frac{sin\phi}{cos\phi} = tan\phi

    Solving Biot-Savart Law for a Ring of Charge

    i've made the dl correction in the original post. THANKS. however, the math still comes out to be a bit off...i'm off by a half.

    Solving Biot-Savart Law for a Ring of Charge

    i think you're right it is a unit vector. try taking the absolute value of it...it comes out to 1

    Solving Biot-Savart Law for a Ring of Charge

    z plane refers to the z-y plane. w is the radius of the ring of charge. positive z direction current on top of ring and negative z direction current on bottom of ring (counterclockwise current flow)

    Solving Biot-Savart Law for a Ring of Charge

    This is a simple problem if you work with only magnitude and consider the symmetry of a ring. However, I am taking a detailed approach, and I am not getting the correct answer. Could you please look over my math? a evenly distributed ring of charge on the positive Y-Z plane has a current, I...
