I enjoy physics! As there is physics involved in all the above branches i am confused. I want to know in which branch can a person be most successful.

I am very confused. Please help me out. I like physics very much! Its my passion. So i have 3 options, Engineering, pure physics and applied physics. I am absolutely confused on what should i go into!

What do u mean people don't become physicists?? My dream is to work at the LHC. How can i make it possible?

So do u people suggest me going into physics? I love physics. But i am scared. Should i take applied physics or theoretical physics? Who earns more?

I am scared to go into particle physics now.. What about applied physics?

What about the people at CERN or fermilab or SLAC?? do they earn well. I am interested in particles. And want to do research in string theory or about the higgs boson or dark matter etc etc.

I agree, but a person needs to pay off his bills! Do u know how much a average particle physicist earns?

I am really interested in physics. Currently i am an undergrad. I don't know what course should i take. I really like particle physics. But i am not sure if i will make enough money! So i thought about going into applied physics, but i want to do research in physics. Can i do something like...

You could convert 100% of the mass to energy or vice versa.. BUT not with the technology that exists today or atleast for the next 15-20 years. Correct me if i am wrong but as of today u can convert i guess 0.7 % of mass to energy in the worlds best colliders. When u burn a paper u are...

Thank you very much..

I tried but i am not getting the right answer..

I do not understand..

What will be the electric field at the points p3 and p4 in the attached image. I think at p3 it will be zero as it is inside the conducting surface But what about p4?? Will it be zero too? Due to negative and positive charges or will it be sigma/E(sub)o(/sub).. And why?

Problem An ideal spring with spring constant 'k' is hung from the ceiling and a block of mass 'M' is attached to its lower end. The mass is released with the spring initially unstretched. Then the maximum extension in the spring is? Please tell how to do it and the final answer.
