    HELP ME, trapped in Aristotelian conception but must learn quantum physics

    I'm beginning to grasp these concepts through a lot of studying, but I'm still left with these questions; if the wave functions squared modulus is a probability density, then what does the wave function itself describe? How are we expected to find an angular momentum and wave number when we are...

    Capacitance of a landing plane in a thunderstorm

    Homework Statement An airplane flies through a thundercloud and picks up an excess charge of 1 microcoulomb. When the plane comes into land, its wings form approximately a parallel plate capacitor with the ground. What is the capacitance of this system? What is the potential of the plane...

    HELP ME, trapped in Aristotelian conception but must learn quantum physics

    So I went to St. Andrews University with the unbelievably stupid idea that I would be able to "handle" their physics. My university, reading only the course description, thought that fourth semester physics was equivalent to Baylor's second semester physics. I soon realized that they only...
