The Attempt at a Solution
Part a): Particle must move on surface (one constraint). Number of generalised coordinates = 3N - K where N = number of particles and K = constraints. Therefore 2 generalised coordinates are...
Thank you very much, I forgot the elementary relation Q = it. I got 3.1 * 10^11 electrons for a) which is the right answer :)
For part b), do we just divide average current per pulse by number of pulses per second?
Homework Statement
Your physics lab demonstrator hands you a spool of copper wire and a battery (voltage V) and asks you to wind the wire around a hollow, cylindrical, cardboard tube (radius a) to make a solenoid of length 2L.
a) What is the amplitude of the magnetic field at the centre...
Thanks for the replies!
I'm having some trouble manipulating the denominator of a).
For b), I can see that whenever n>3 the sin term is 0. Since the (-1)^n-1 oscillates, does the expression diverge by unbounded oscillation?
For c), I can simplify it up to x^(3 - logx). After that I...

The Attempt at a Solution
I'm having some trouble getting my head around these 3 problems. Any ideas on how to approach them are welcome.
Sorry, I meant how to show that the only possible value for limn→∞xn is cbrt(λ)! Also, if you could explain how to solve ii) of b) that would be great!
Homework Statement
The Attempt at a Solution
I've managed to do part a), by factorising the cubic you get when you rearrange the terms. I'm mostly stumped for part b). I know the sequence has to be contractive, otherwise it wouldn't converge. Also, how do I show it's the only...
