    Simple Atwood apparatus question

    I had this question on the MCAT earlier, and I'm not sure if I did it properly. There is an Atwood machine such that a person of mass m is holding onto both ends of the string. What is the tension in the string? According to my calculations, since a=0 since the string is not moving, T=0.5m*g. I...

    Ampere/Maxwell law capacitor problem

    Well, it tells us what the magnetic field is that is created by a time-varying electric field as well as a conduction current. Since a capacitor is being considered, the latter part can be disregarded. So I'm thinking that a cylinder can be constructed between the capacitors and we will...

    Ampere/Maxwell law capacitor problem

    Homework Statement A 0.200-A current is charging a capacitor that has circular plates 10.0 cm in radius. If the plate separation is 4.00 mm, (a) what is the time rate of increase of electric field between the plates? (b) What is the magnetic field between the plates 5.00 cm from the center...
