    Physics What are the potential career options for a Nuclear Theorist?

    Hi There! I am exploring career options in Nuclear Physics, exactly speaking, Theoretical Nuclear Physics. One of the ways to pursue a career in the field is of course in the academia, as a Professor and Researcher. But as we know, sustaining in the academia is not an easy job. I was wondering...

    I How do you answer "So what's the practical application....?"

    The only application I find in studying mathematics or physics is that *I love them!*. What could be better?

    Challenge Micromass' big August challenge

    My Solution to previously unsolved High School and First Year University Question 3: My solution to Question 6: We can start forming a nested radical expression for ##x##: $$|x|=\sqrt{x^2}\\=\sqrt{1+(x-1)(x+1)}\\=\sqrt{1+(x-1)\sqrt{1+x(x+2)}}\\=\sqrt{1+(x-1)\sqrt{1+x\sqrt{1+(x+1)(x+3)}}}$$ In...

    Challenge Micromass' big high school challenge thread

    My solution to Question 6: We can start forming a nested radical expression for ##x##: $$|x|=\sqrt{x^2}\\=\sqrt{1+(x-1)(x+1)}\\=\sqrt{1+(x-1)\sqrt{1+x(x+2)}}\\=\sqrt{1+(x-1)\sqrt{1+x\sqrt{1+(x+1)(x+3)}}}$$ In the same way if we progress indefinitely, we get the following nested radical...

    Evaluation of Surface Integral in Gauss's Law

    I am a tenth grader, and a newbie to Advanced Calculus. While working out problems sets for Gauss's Law, I encountered the following Surface Integral: I couldn't attempt anything, having no knowledge over surface integration. So please help.

    Reasons for Electrostatic interactions

    Hello. Well, each and everyone of us know that Like Charges repel, while unlike charges attract. That's a normal high school physics fact. But what's the reason for that? Is it just an experimental fact, or even does have theoretical significance? Please do help. Thanks a lot Swapnil Das.

    Method of Symmetry for Equivalent Resistances

    But how does the method assume that they are at the same potential?

    B Question about the nature of Gravitation

    Hello. Modern Physics explains Gravitation in two general ways: In accordance to the General Theory of Relativity, Gravitation is thought of as an effect of the curvature of space-time continuum. This results in the formation of the recently and famously detected Gravitational Waves. Quantum...

    Method of Symmetry for Equivalent Resistances

    I have been studying the method of symmetry from some days, which essentially reduce the effort needed for the evaluation of equivalent resistances. My textbook states: Points having symmetrically located about initial and final points have the same potentials.So, the resistances between these...
