Optics question using ray matrices
I switched the result of [m2][m1] with where [m3] was suppose to be. Thanks for you help, so here is what I have for my mFinal: mfinal = \left(\begin{array}{cc} 2.675 + di & 16.75 -.67di\\ -.067 & .67\\ \end{array} \right) the negetive I have from my m2 matrix, I posted...- nateastle

Optics question using ray matrices
I did it that way and that is how I got mFinal. I don't know if my math is not right or if something else is not right.- nateastle

Solve Step up Transformer: Ratio, Power, Fuse Rating
How do I figure out energy/time? would this be (16800 x 10 x 10^-3) or about 168 watts where 16800 is the total voltage of the transformer and 10 x 10^-3 is the current? with part c would this be 140 times greater than the current in the second transformer?- nateastle

Solve Step up Transformer: Ratio, Power, Fuse Rating
I have a homework question that states: A transformer connected to a 120 V rms ac line is to supply 16800 V(rms) for a neon sign. To resuce shock hazard, a fuse is to be inserted in the primary circuit; the fuse is to blow when the current in the secondary circuit exceeds 10.0mA. a) What is the...- nateastle

How Do You Calculate Current in a Hydrogen Discharge Tube?
I have been trying to figure out what the equation is for this problem: A glass tube filled with gas has electrodes at each end. When a sufficiently high potential difference is applied between the two electrodes the gas ionizes; electrons move towards the positive electrod, and the positive...- nateastle

Calculating Equilibrium Angle for Charged Sphere on Silk Fiber
I got E by \sigma = 25 * 10^-6 C/m^2 then I took that and divided by 2e0 with e0 being 8.85 *10^-12 I took that answer(1.4 * 10^6) and multiplied it by the charge of the ball which is 3 X 10^10 C which gave a force of 4.23 X 10^-4.- nateastle

Calculating Equilibrium Angle for Charged Sphere on Silk Fiber
a small .4g sphere carries a charge of 3 X 10^-10 and is attached to one end of a silk fiber 8cm long. The other end of the fiber is attached to a large vertical insulating sheet that has surface charge density equal to 25 X 10 -6 C/m^2. The sphere on the end of the fiber is repelled outward and...- nateastle

Positive charge distributed uniformly along y axis
I have a physics question that states: An amount of positive charge is distributed uniformly along the positive y-axis between y=o and y=a. A negative point charge -q lies on the positive x=axis a distance r from the origin. Derive the x and y compontes of the force that the charge distribution...- nateastle

How Do You Calculate the X Component of Force in Coulomb's Law?
I believe this is the right place for this question. I am strugling with getting this homework problem setup. The question is: A charge q1 = -3 nc is placed at the origin of an xy-cordinate system, and a charge q2=2.00nC is placed on the positive y Axis at y=4cm. If a third charge q3 =4nC is...- nateastle
