Hi Woopydalan, I appreciate your post, but I already stated that I knew that it was a unit of energy. What I am asking is: are there any uses of the electron-volt that interpret it as a unit of electric potential? That is how my chemistry instructor uses it, I believe incorrectly. I am...

Hi all, My instructor in my college chemistry class continually refers to cell potentials (as in battery cell potentials) in units of electron-volts. Is there any case in physics or chemistry where this is correct? My understanding is that an electron-volt is generally a unit of energy, but...

I should have mentioned that the stated answer is 20 minutes, for part one, and 1/e for part 2.

Hello, I am trying to tackle a word problem in differential equations, but the setup has flummoxed me. Thank you in advance to any advice/help given. Homework Statement Beginning at time t  0, fresh water is pumped at the rate of 3 gal/min into a 60-gal tank initially filled with...

Hello everyone, this is my first post, and I hope I have put this in the right area. I am looking to understand something about the behavior of a low pass filter. When an alternating current is passed through a low pass filter, the higher the frequency, the lower the voltage output of the...
