So is there not some limit to how much charge can be achieved through this process?

Given that the potential across the capacitors is the same and the capacitance is the same it seems nonsensical to assume that the charges will be anything other than identical. However, I understand that capacitors in parallel can be seen as equivalent to a single capacitor with plates of area...

I'm having a little trouble understanding capacitors in parallel and series. I understand that if there are two capacitors in a circuit with a potential difference Vab then the potential difference across the capacitors is also Vab. Every example I have seen have been for two capacitors with...

Brilliant, thank you very much!

The max value is equal to Aω. Therefore you can solve for ω by taking the ratio of the vy,max and the amplitude.

The maximum value of the right hand side would be Aω if x and t were chosen so that sin(kx) and cos(ωt) were both equal to 1.

That the max vy is equal to the derivative of the second equation when y=0?

Hi, sorry about that. The string is fixed at both ends.

Homework Statement A second harmonic standing wave has the known quantities of Amplitude (max y at antinode) A, maximum velocity (y=0 at antinode) v, string length L, tension in the string T. Given that we know that it is second harmonic, we can assume that λ = L How can one determine the...

Hi, thanks again for the help. We have been working at the problem this afternoon but we don't understand how to relate ##C## and ##R##. We have managed to find a parametric equation that looks very much like our curve by playing around with the variables, so we have a decent estimate of the...

Thanks for the help again, it's going great. Just one more question. We have the graph now, and we need to find a way to check the validity of our results. Our first thoughts were to find the equation of the curve (being a cycloid) and check for the error margin of our results. However, the...

Okay thanks, it seems that's the way to go. Thanks for all the help.

That's great, thanks for all the help! I have solved for the intervals I want and have found the slope for each section. This is a little off topic but do you know of any graphing software where I would be able to input the slope values and the y coordinates to make a sketch of the curve...

For a decreasing index of refraction velocity will continually increase, therefore we know that: v1<v2 I have realized where my problem lies. At the beginning, when the object first starts to move, the path will be tangent to the vertical, which implies that: sinΘ1 = 0 I cannot work with...

Hi all, I'm after a little guidance for I do not know what is going wrong. I understand that for Johann Bernoulli's proof of the brachistochrone problem he used refraction of light and Fermat's principle of least time. I have decided to do a project on the subject, in which I am dividing up a...
