    Radiation Detection: Filter Electrons Out

    If I were to design a radiation detector to detect electron radiations , but in the process proton ,alpha and beta radiations are also being detected , then how can I implement a filtering technique to filter the rest out? Mass based filtering can be used i suppose?

    Balance condition for inductor bridge

    IF it was DC, won't we consider a time variant state?

    Balance condition for inductor bridge

    1. A Wheat stone bridge resembling setup is given with two parallel branches , the 1st containing an Inductor of Inductance L1 and resistance R1 in series with a resistor R2. The second branch consists of inductor with inductance L2 and resistance R3 in series with a resistor R4. The branches...

    Can You Solve \(\tan(2x) - \cot(3x) = 0\) for \(0 \leq x < 2\pi\)?

    [tan(2x) * tan(3x) - 1]/ tan(3x)=0 -[tan(2x)+ tan(3x) / tan(5x)tan(3x)]=0 tan(2x)=-tan(3x) following this: tan(a+b) = tan(a) + tan (b) / 1-tan(a)tan(b) tan(a)tan(b)-1 = 1[ tan(a)+ tan(b)/ tan(a+b)] And If i am wrong somewhere correct me.

    So Maxwell could see this through his equations?

    Graduate Understanding Magnetism in Different Reference Frames

    But , that seems a bit confusing. I don't get that level of mathematics.

    Graduate Understanding Magnetism in Different Reference Frames

    What if i was traveling in a car with an e- with me. W.r.t to a positive charge at rest , it would seem accelerating to me i.e. it would have a magnetic field but acc. to a person on the ground it would just have an electric field. If there were a car moving relative to me , the person would...

    Undergrad Will Two Identical Spherical Cavities in Free Space Attract or Repel Each Other?

    Hey! I just found out that its an ex Physics olympiad problem. The dust configuration remains constant , won't move in. So we can do this using the potential energy concept for the sphere's i.e. they would try and reduce their respective energies.

    Force on Loop Due to Infinite Wire?

    can some1 tell me the final answer so that i can confirm it? i do not have the answer.

    Force on Loop Due to Infinite Wire?

    @ rl.bhat why 0 to pi?? why not o to 2pi? @alphysicist yes i took it from the left actually and after pi/2 cos which change the sign as it will be pi-theta.

    Undergrad Will Two Identical Spherical Cavities in Free Space Attract or Repel Each Other?

    Yes , they are simply voids. The Dust particles are distributed uniformly and there are two nearby spherical voids.

    Can You Solve \(\tan(2x) - \cot(3x) = 0\) for \(0 \leq x < 2\pi\)?

    we knw tan(A+B)=tanA+ tanB/ 1-tanAtanB hence tanAtanB-1= -(tan A+tanB/tan(A+B)) tan2xtan3x-1/tan3x= -tan2x -tan3x / tan5x hence solutions can be generated from tan2x=-tan3x. hope u knw the general formula for the solns of that. and rejecting all solns where tan5x=0. :)

    Force on Loop Due to Infinite Wire?

    Thats the main trouble , i am not able to find a way to get the dependence of B on $ because B is just dependent on distance from the wire. And i have already judged the directions , its the magnitude that bothers me.
