Perfect! Thanks! :)

I was surfing some old exam questions and I found a nasty one... They asked to prove the existence of fringe effects of the electric field at the edges of a plate capacitor, using Maxwell's laws. In class we always assumed the ideal capacitor without fringe effects so I'm having some kind of...

A simple electric dipole in an external magnetic field performs harmonic motion (for small angles between E and L) due to the moments by the forces acting on the respective charges. Assuming there is no system to dissipate energy that is. The mechanic moment is given by p x E and the energy of...

When a non-driven RLC circuit discharges you have several possibilities: underdamped, critical & overdamped. The general solution of the differential equation is Q(t) = A*exp(L1*t)+B*exp(L2*t) with L1 and L2 roots of the characteristic polynom being (-R+sqrt(R^2-4*L/C))/(2*L) and...
