Thanks for the answers :)
So I understand that I didn't miss any "formula" connecting the potential and the direction of the velocity... So it thing must be something specific in the potential given in the problem:
v(x) = k(x^2-a^2) where |x|<a
0 where |x|>a
(k>0)
(we were asked...
Hi, I need some help with a problem in my Classical Mechanics undergrad course.
We were assigned a problem in which we were given a one dimentional potential (some sort of a parabola).
We were asked to determine the velocity's direction at different point, and even though it is somewhat...
Umm can you recommend texts that are more specific about each one of these subjects?
About that -
I already went through Boas's part about Fourier analysis and it didn't really cover our course.. Same goes with spherical harmonies and boundary problems..
Thanks again
Hi :)
Okay so next month I have an exam in the course Mathematical Methods III and I desperately need a good textbook to study from.
We covered variation calculus,fourier analysis and partial differential equations including sphrical harmonies (legendre polynomials) and various boundary...

I understand all the calculations here - http://www.physicspages.com/2012/10/18/coaxial-cable-with-dielectric/
I have one issue that is bugging me though - if λ charge density is distributed over...
Hi,
I'm looking for a good book to study multivariable calculus from that would fit a proof-based undergraduate math course.
The emphasis should be on RIGOROUS proofs, theorems and presentation of concepts.
I really need a book that would be approachable for self-study with clear and...
Thank you!
And what about (b)?
The problem with (b) is that using your equation results in a negative kinetic energy, which is physically impossible as far as I know...
So I suppose we have to take the work done by the battery into consideration, but I don't know how this can be done here.
1. The question:
This question is from purcell's E&M book (3.71).
(a) The plates of a capacitor have are A and separation s (assumed to be small). The plates are isolated, so the charges on them remain constant, the charge densities are +-σ. A neutral conducting slab with the same area A but...
