    How to determine rectangular and polar radii of gyration?

    Yes. Sorry I forgot to take the square root so yea a typo. But to be honest, I don't get what you are saying. Could you be more specific in where I am going wrong?

    Relationship between applied electric field and resulting surface charge desnity

    I had this problem in my exam. It required me to calculate relative permittivity of a dielectric slab which acquires a surface charge density of 800micro Coulomb/m^2 when subjected to an electric field of 10^8 V/m. Applying E=sigma/(2epsilon), I got relative permittivity as 0.45 which is less...

    Schrodinger wave eqn for a beam of monoenergeticc electrons

    The problem is to apply Schrodinger wave equation to a beam of mono energetic electrons and show that the probability of finding electron at each point on the beam is constant (d2ψ/dx2) + (8∏^2m/h^2)(E-V)ψ = 0 I have been taught to apply this to a single particle for various...

    How to calculate the net resistance between A and B

    I'm sorry for the mistakes. I just did the whole thing in a very short time and so there are mistakes. Just wanted to know the method. And sure, I will try by your method

    How to calculate the net resistance between A and B

    I did this.. I would be glad if the method is correct :)

    How to calculate the net resistance between A and B

    I was thinking if the 10 ohm resistor (horizontal position in the image) should be removed, because if we analyse it from Wheatstone bridge's point of view, no current flows through it. I maybe wrong. Help appreciated.

    How to calculate the net resistance between A and B

    I am unable to proceed. Please help me by describing how to solve it(and the method and reason behind the approach) Thank you

    Good beginner book for quantum mechanics

    Alright so, I ordered Feynman's book hoping to begin QM without much mathematical knowledge. I currently have Halliday, Rensick and Walker textbook. Will the little QM in it be sufficient or should I go for Arthur Beiser for the fundamentals? Also, I would be thankful if anyone told me the...

    Good beginner book for quantum mechanics

    So is Feynman not suitable as a textbook? How about the QM part of Fundamentals of physics by Halliday, Resnick and Walker? Does it have good explanation?

    Why Does Heat Generate When Mixing Ethanol and Water?

    Yes. H-bond is formed again between hydrogen and water molecules but the strength of this bond is weaker than that between water-water molecules. So I am guessing that is why some heat is liberated. Always consider difference in strength of the bonds. Not just the bonds.

    Why Does Heat Generate When Mixing Ethanol and Water?

    Oh I am extremely sorry. It exactly the other way around. Swap places with ethanol and water :) Thanks Sagar
