    Simple 2 level paramagnet system- How to find the number of states

    Homework Statement We have N non interacting particles in external field \vec{H}. The hamiltonian is given as H = -h\sum^{N}_{i=1}{\sigma_{i}} with \sigma =\pm 1 and h = - \mu |\vec{H}|. Calculate the number of states with given energy E with help of this relation: \Omega =...

    Ohmic Devices and Conceptual Circuit Question

    Maybe this could help a bit with the second question. Even though the net displacement is 1mm/sec, that doesn't really mean that you have to wait for one second until the first electron pops out from the wire. Reason for that is simple, the number of electrons in your wire pro 1mm is much...

    Mathematica problem, nontrivial solution for matrix equation Ax=0

    Hey, how can i get a non trivial solution from matrix equation Ax=0 more precisely, i want to calculate eigenvectors : (M- a_1*I)x = 0, i keep getting x=0.

    Combined probability distribution

    Ok, so it would look something like : w_{x,y}(x,y) = \begin{cases} 0, \text{if } x \in [0,a] \text{and } y \in [0,a] \\ 1/(3a^₂), \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \sigma_{x}^2 = \overline{x^2}...

    Where am i wrong in this limits question?

    =>limx->0 ((1-e^x)/x)*1/x+1/x+1 using limx->0(e^x-1)/x=1 =>limx->0 (-1)*1/x+1/x+1 Here you are wrong

    Combined probability distribution

    w_{x|y}(x,y) = \begin{cases} 0, \text{if} x \in [0,a) \text{and} y \in [0,a] \\ 1/a, \text{if } x \in [0,a) \text{and} y \in [a,2a] \\ 1/(2a), \text{if } x\in [a,2a]...

    Combined probability distribution

    Yes, sorry, i meant joint probability distribution. So if i follow the formal definition: w_{x,y}(x,y) = w_{y|x}(x,y)w_{x}(x) Then: w_{x|y}(x,y) = \begin{cases} 1/a, \text{if } x \in [0,a) \\ 1/(2a), \text{if } x\in [a,2a]...

    Tension in 3 Pulley System Homework

    Think again about your proposition that x_{3} = x_{1} + x_{2}. If you imagine for a moment that mass 1 is very big, it stands still, so only mass 2 moves. So if mass 2 moves for some distance l, how much does then mass 3 go up or down?

    Combined probability distribution

    Homework Statement Let's have a box in shape of a square(viewed from the top) from the corner of which a smaller square was cut out.The side of a bigger square is 2a, side of the smaller square is a long. We've got evenly distributed corn seeds all over the box,randomly selected seed is...

    Particle falling in earth's gravity with air resistance.

    you can divide it into components, and then solve the differential equation for each component, that's harder way than just writing the net force balance for the time when speed reaches it's final speed, but you'll learn more from it;)

    Particle falling in earth's gravity with air resistance.

    You could solve this by solving the differential equation that way you'll get the x(t) function, and from there you can calculate the constant or, you could think about the force balance after some time when particle reaches it's final speed

    Looking at the t\overline{t} production from: \gamma \rightarrow t\overline{t} so minimum E_{\gamma} = 2m_{t}c^2 But still I don't see how can i get data to calculate \Gamma and M in formula for cross section

    Is f constant if limf(z) exists and is nonzero as z tends to z0?

    In my books it's written that any integral over a closed loop \gamma equals zero: \oint f(z)dz = 0 But at the same time it says \oint \frac{dz}{z-a} = i 2 \Pi I where I is an index number saying how many times loop \gamma goes around point a. Aren't they contradicting each other? PS: what...
