    I literally used what they gave on that link I put above.

    Chandrasekhar limit equation/white dwarf mass-radius relation

    Hey there, I have a couple of questions that may seem a little stupid, but anyway: I've been a bit of research into the Chandrasekhar limit and have unsuccessfully tried to find an equation/estimation that sums it up as I have seen so many floating around on the internet. Variations from...

    Transistor - an important concept of invention?

    Thanks for replying. I've read them both but neither are particularly specific... they imply but don't state and I don't think you can take an implication as fact. ...exploding nuclear weapons in the atmosphere? Test Ban Treaty 1963? Thanks, that was really interesting!

    Transistor - an important concept of invention?

    I have another couple of quick questions I can't seem to find the answer to. On the Wiki page, it says: "Silicon transistors are much more vulnerable than vacuum tubes to an electromagnetic pulse generated by a high-altitude nuclear explosion." Why is this such a problem? Were...

    Transistor - an important concept of invention?

    Thanks to everyone for replying :) I appreciate the insights you've all given. I'm going to do a little more research and then bring it up with him when I next see him.

    Transistor - an important concept of invention?

    Greetings, I had an argument with my substitute Physics teacher about the use of the transistor and how important it is/was. Basically, we were debating whether or not it is important because of the invention or whether it was purely the concept that made it so important. His argument was...

    Is there an equation to find roots?

    Is there a way to do it by hand?

    Is there an equation to find roots?

    I have the number 64. Other than by trial and error, or by simply knowning that the answer is 4, is there an equation that would give me that value of 4 as the cubic root?

    Is there an equation to find roots?

    Is there a mathematical equation to find square/cubic/etc. roots of a number? Any help would be greatly appreciated - this is purely for my own interest. Also, I;m doing the C2 module of AS Maths so I may not understand more complex terms used in an explanation (if any are needed) - apologies...
