    Opamp Voltages: Finding Output Voltage with Inverting and Non-Inverting Amps

    Homework Statement There are unknown values for input voltage, but we know it is sinusoidal. There is an inverting amp connected in parallel with a non inverting amp. The goal is to find the output voltage. I have three questions. 1: if the problem states that "power rails for both opamps are...

    What is the Direction of the B Field from Electron Motion?

    Ok I had my pointer and my middle fingers wrong for the first one, and for the second one my thumb points in the direction of the force and curls in the direction of the B field. Thanks!

    What is the Direction of the B Field from Electron Motion?

    For the first one my thumb is the velocity, my pointer is the direction of the force, and my middle is the B field. For the second version I essentially point my entire hand towards velocity, and curl it in the direction of the force (curl up because the electron moves up), so the thumb is the...

    B Exploring Blue Light: The Mystery of a Low-Wavelength Star

    I feel like I mostly understand. Essentially, the most waves happen at the peak, but there are other waves outside of that? Some of those waves are within the light spectrum, and according to the temperature of the star can appear blue - which has nothing to do with peak wavelength the problem...

    B Exploring Blue Light: The Mystery of a Low-Wavelength Star

    For my astronomy class we were asked a question about a star that is 50,000K and it's peak wavelength. This was easy enough to find using Wein's law. The answer, however, is well below a human's threshold for visible light and we theoretically would not be able to see the star, but apparently it...

    Capacitor Charge Density Calculation

    Hey, so apparently the answer was in microfarads but I was entering it in farads, but thanks for the help!

    Capacitor Charge Density Calculation

    Homework Statement Two 10-cm-diameter metal disks separated by a 0.64-mm-thick piece of Pyrex glass are charged to a potential difference of 1100 V . What is the surface charge density on the disks? What is the surface charge density on the glass? Homework Equations C=(e_0A)/d C=Q/V charge...

    Parallel Disk Capacitor E field

    All numbers presented are correct. I am not sure what you both mean by using the precise formula vs. approximating as an infinite sheet.

    Parallel Disk Capacitor E field

    Yup. I ended up guessing correctly, in an attempt to figure out the second part of the problem and the correct answer was 2.7*10^6 which I do not understand. Any ideas on how it would work out to be that?

    Parallel Disk Capacitor E field

    Homework Statement Two 2.4-cm-diameter disks face each other, 1.9 mm apart. They are charged to ± 12 nC . What is the electric field strength at the midpoint between the centers of the disks? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Q=12*10^-9 A= Pi * r^2 = pi*(.012)^2 Q/A=...
