    Optics - near sighted or far sighted

    A pair of relaxed eyes of a patient have a refractive power of 48.5 diopters. a) is this person near or far sighted? I think its far sighted because of the short focal length. b) Find the near point of this person. (The retina is 2.4cm from the lens). Ok, so the f=.02 and I'm...

    How Fast Must a Magnetic Field Change to Induce a Specific Current?

    Ok, I need a lot of help on this one. A single conducting loop of wire has an area of 7.4*10^-2 m^2 and a resistance of 110 ohms. Perpendicular to the plane of the loop is a magnetic field of strength 0.18 T. At what rate (in T/s) must this field change if the induced current in the loop is...

    How Does Magnetic Force Affect an Ion Moving Along the Line x=y?

    Ok, an ion experiences a magnetic force of 6.2X10^-16 N when moving in the positive x direction, but no force when moving in the positive y direction. What is the magnitude of magnetic force exerted on the ion when it moves in the x-y plane along the line x=y? Assume the ions speed is the same...

    Circuit Potential and Voltage Calculations

    Sorry. It says point A is grounded (V=0).

    Circuit Potential and Voltage Calculations

    http://www.pen.eiu.edu/~cuemc4/circuit.bmp That might work. Mak sure you're soomed in all the way or it won't look right. Thanks for the help so far!

    Calculating Potential and Voltages in Series Capacitors

    1. For http://www.pen.eiu.edu/~cuemc4/circuit.bmp picture.. Calculate the potential at point D. 2. I 15-V battery is connected to three capacitors in series. The capacitors have the following capacitances: 4.5microFarads, 12.0microFarads, and 32microFarads. Find the voltage across the...

    Electric potential/potential energy

    It doesn't show, but it makes more sense now. Thanks a bunch.

    Electric potential/potential energy

    Sorry if it sounded like I didn't believe you. I just didn't fully understand you. :smile:

    Electric potential/potential energy

    For part 1 I just don't see how to get the q for the proton. I just stumbled upon it for the other part. FOr part 2 the q value is definitely not in my book. I looked in all the appendices and everything. For part 3 you're saying that V = ED?

    Electric potential/potential energy

    Ok I have a couple questions here. 1. Calculate the speed of a proton and an electron after each particle accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 190V. I think I got the part of the electron because I randomly came across the energy value of an electron. The equation I'm...

    How can I standardize a given harmonic wave function?

    Ok here's the deal. The problem gives me this wave function: y= (15cm) cos[(pi/5cm)x - (pi/12s)t] I undserstand that 15cm represents the amplitude, 5cm represents the wavelength, and 12s represents the T. What I don't get is that the standard wave function is in this form: y(x,t)= A...
