    Current in circular wire surrounding infinite solenoid in a circuit

    So, have you tried a positive input?

    Current in circular wire surrounding infinite solenoid in a circuit

    Have you tried to input a positive answer? What is the meaning of a negative current?

    Current in circular wire surrounding infinite solenoid in a circuit

    Why do you think that there is something missing?

    Average velocity in different coordinate systems

    Correct expression for what? The average velocity is usually defined as ratio of displacement and the time interval the dispalcement happened. ##\vec{V}_{av}=\frac{\Delta\vec{r}}{\Delta t}##. If you want to express the displacement in polar coordinates you have to define what do you mean by...

    I Insulator band gap and applied voltage?

    The voltage you apply cannot accelerate the electrons in the valence band, so it does not transfer energy to them. This why they are not conduction electrons. Strong electric field may alter the band structure itself though and maybe reduce the band gap.

    Average velocity in different coordinate systems

    The unit vectors are functions of time. You cannot take them outside the integral over time. Wasn't this already mentioned in several posts?

    Average velocity in different coordinate systems

    This is not the change in magnitude but the magnitude of the change in the vector. Constant magnitude means that the change can be only a rotation . ##\omega t ## is the rotation angle.

    Concept about photoelectric effect

    This is what I understood by frequency in my post. Not the "the rate of emission of photons" which is related to intensity. I have never seen the 'frequency of light" to refer to rate of emission of photons.

    Concept about photoelectric effect

    If you have the same intensity and higher frequency there are fewer photons reaching the surface in any time interval. So, fewer electrons are ejected. Saturation current means that all the ejected electrons are collected. Their KE does not matter. But their number does.

    Balmer series experiment

    Sure you can. This is why he gave you this information.

    Why is source force + electrostatic force = 0 inside battery?

    Then your formula is wrong. It should be electric field and not force on the right hand side. ##j= \sigma E##

    Equations of motion of an electron emitted from a surface

    What is the meaning of the meV term in the "conservation of momentum"? Is this a quantity with dimensions of momentum?

    How do I model this function? (Damped Harmonic Motion)

    What is the equation for the displacement versus time given in your course? Didn't have an exponentially decaying amplitude?

    Equations of motion of an electron emitted from a surface

    The drawing is just a schetch of the principle. The actual charge desnity will depend on the actual sizes and shapes of the components. You cannot get it from general principles. It's the same idea as knowing the actual map of the potential in the system. If you know how thw potential changes...
