    Graduate Potential of a Quadrupole (Far Away)

    So we're currently covering multipole expansion techniques in my EDM class. The multipole expansion is a summation of integrals each treating a different configuration of discrete charges (monopole, dipole... and so on). The term in the summation that corresponds to the physical configuration...

    Special Relativity and Kinematics Problem

    Ok, that makes the problem a lot more straight forward. Thanks for bearing with me and your insightful input.

    Special Relativity and Kinematics Problem

    A and B are equidistant from C, sorry I forgot to mention this in the previous post.

    Special Relativity and Kinematics Problem

    All the particles are moving in the positive x direction. C is in between A and B, with behind and B in front. A and B will arrive at C's position simultaneously.

    Special Relativity and Kinematics Problem

    Homework Statement There are three particles along the x-axis ordered from back to front, A, C, B. A travels at 4/5c and B travels at 3/5c, the speed of particle C is unknown. What must the speed of particle C be such that A and B will arrive at C at the same time? And, at what speed will both...
