Okay..the othermore straightforward question why is the bolometric correction always positive? Wouldn't the bolometric correction be negative since the bolometric magnitude is smaller than the visual magnitude

Okay I realize that stars emit at least some radiation outside the visual range but I have seen stars with positive BC when I thought that most values are negative due to the radiant flux over all wavelengths being greater than its flux over a certain wavelength. Is the sign of the BC the same...

Homework Statement I had a question there is a conducting sphere submerged in a nonconducting fluid with a dielectric constant do I treat the fluid as if it is a uniform field? Or do I go ahead and use Legendre polynomials? I asked to find E,D and the polarization. Homework Equations...

Homework Statement \frac{1}{s} \frac{\partial }{\partial s} (\{s} \frac{\partial V}{\partial s}) + \frac{1}{s^2} \cdot \frac{\partial^2 V}{\partial \phi^2} When you do separation of variables what happens to the \frac{1}{s} and the \frac{1}{s^2} after you divide through by \Phi and S to...

Thanks that makes sense and I will look into LaTeX since I am not familiar with that, but to your questions yes and that does make sense. I guess I overlooked the uniqueness theorem but the uniqueness theorem does not apply to all problems like this does it?

[b]1. Point charge in the presence of a grounded conducting sphere given the boundary conditions phi(x)=0 at r=a (V=0) and at r=infinity (V=0) [b]2. The equation I used phi(x)= (q/abs(x-y))+(q'/abs(x-y))=(q/abs(x*nhatsubx-y'nhatsuby))+ (q'/abs(x'*nhatsubx-y'*nhatsuby') [b]3. The...
