    Undergrad Why Jackson and Griffiths use different notation for Coulomb's law

    Thankyou very much. That was amazingly helpful and gets me on the right track now as I continue through the reading. Much gratitude and I shall not hesitate to come back again after I've struggled through it.

    Undergrad Why Jackson and Griffiths use different notation for Coulomb's law

    I am currently taking Electricity and Magnetism I for Graduate school and we are of course using Jackson Classical Electrodynamics 3e. I am used to Griffiths from undergrad and intro physics in that they describe it: But Jackson modifies the notation to include a cube of the magnitude in the...

    Solid State Gold thin film electrical and optical properties resources

    Hi Hutch, I did do thin film research last summer with an REU, and asked my mentor there and was able to secure some resources. I also have a mentor on campus but he hasn't been very helpful in narrowing my search, which is probably why I'm trying to reach out wherever I can to stake out some...

    Solid State Gold thin film electrical and optical properties resources

    Hi Physics folks,I am currently collecting resources for my senior seminar project at my university and would like to ask if anyone has any good references for gold thin films. I am planning on focusing primarily on the electrical and optical properties of gold thin films. I appreciate any...

    Mathematica Fourier transform output in Mathematica not matching expected result

    I am attempting to be able to do this problem with the help of Mathematica and Fourier transform. My professor gave us instructions for Fourier Transformation and Inverse Fourier, but I don't believe that my output in Mathematica is correct.

    Quadratic equation for drag race: car and motorcycle passing times

    Thanks for that insight. I'll rework it in the morning here in the states.

    Quadratic equation for drag race: car and motorcycle passing times

    I believe the question is referring to the car reaching the motorcycle while it is still accelerating because the question asks " How long does the car take to reach the motorcycle?" So the car I believe must still be accelerating

    Quadratic equation for drag race: car and motorcycle passing times

    I posted that so you would know what they are referring to by 2-20-2-23

    Quadratic equation for drag race: car and motorcycle passing times

    Wouldn't you want to put it in the form = 0 before you put a,b,c into quadratic?
