    Limits of the Path Length of B-field induced gyroradius

    Hi, I am trying to derive the path length of a charged particle in a B-field. I am assuming the particle will travel a distance L along the applied field. Using the following equations for the path length of a helix and gyroradius: Helix defined as [a*cos(t),a*cos(t),b*t] for t on [0,T] has...

    What Is the Drude-Lorentz Model in Relation to Permittivity and Conductivity?

    I have an relation between permittivity and conductivity as follows: \epsilon(\omega) = 1 + \frac{4\pi\iota\sigma(\omega)}{\omega} Yet am unclear as to how it was derived. Does this relationship have a name and/or derivation to follow through somewhere? also, I believe it is cgs units...

    E and D fields of polarizable material

    Ok, i knew that fact, but had forgotten that setting integral to Qenclosed required assuming information about D. Thanks. One final question. I need to relate the E field outside this faux capacitor to that inside...specifically, Find a relationship between the electric fields in the y = 0...

    E and D fields of polarizable material

    Homework Statement A semi infinite slab of material, -\infty<x<0, -\infty<z<\infty, -d/2<y<d/2 has uniform polarization P in the +y direction. What are the E and D field along x-axis at y=0. Homework Equations \oint \vec{D}\cdot d\vec{a} = Q_{free enclosed} D= \epsilon_{0}E+P The...

    What is the equivalence of the Bragg condition in vectorial form?

    Hello, I have a quick question regarding the bragg condition. I know that it is most often stated as 2dSin \theta=n\lambda But I have come across a case (Kittel chp9 pg 255, where it is written as (\vec{k}+\vec{G})^{2} = k I cannot really see how the vectorial case is the same as the...
