Oh dangit! Cause we're dealing with a conductor gotcha! So I guess the epsilon_0*(ln10)^2*exp(-x/d) would be the charge density as a function of x. Thanks! *Maybe I should rename myself "the phorgetful physicist"...

Hello all! I just finished the following problem: Consider a thin semi-infinite plate of negligible thickness made of an isotropic conductive material. A voltage V0=1V is applied at x=0 on the plate (across the short dimension). At a distance x=d=1cm from the end (x=0) V is measured to be...

Haha! I guess this zombie cat USED to be Schrödinger's cat, but is now the quantum mechanically undead. Thanks Tiny Tim! As for the symmetry of the spin-0 state, (ud-du)/sqrt(2), I understand that the spins are opposed to make this happen and this state should be antisymmetric... I guess I'm...

Hello all, This may be my very first post on Physics Forums. I am a 1st year physics grad student and need some help on something that's been bugging me. Suppose we have two spin half particles in a bound state. The total spin will either be 0 or 1. The spin 0 state, for example, would be...
