Thanks Mr. Charles Link. In the first solution i get the q12 -6*10-6q1 -16*10-12 = 0 and for second one i get q12 - 6*10-6q1-16*106 = 0. My question is why i get different powers for the term involving -16.

"At a distance of 1.5 fermi, the nuclear force becomes maximum and remains attractive in nature. However, at a distance of 0.5 fermi, the nuclear force suddenly becomes repulsive. " Revered Members, Nuclear force is a short range force, so naturally when the distance between the nucleons...

Dear Members and moderators, If the infractions received by a member expires, whether he/she will be given the concession of three warnings again?

Thanks a lot Spinnor. So nice of you in explaining the things so beautifully.

Capacitors are connected in series. So the effective capacitance is 1/Cs = 1/C + 1/2C + 1/3C = 11/6C Cs = 6C/11 Now substitute this value for C for the equation V = 11/6(Q/C) you ll get Q/C which is nothing but V or V1 Hope you got it now

I can't get you. Actually is 11/6 times the V

V = q/c so v = q/c + q/2c + q/3c q/c(1+1/2+1/3) q/c (11/6) hope this helps

Homework Statement Revered Members, When we increase the temperature, resistance increases in conductors. But resistance decreases in semiconductors. Why? Help in this regard will be highly appreciated. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Due to increase in temperature...

Revered Members, For Helium, Beryllium,Carbon,Oxygen and Neon, the Binding Energy per nucleon is more as evident from the sharp peaks observed in the graph plotted between BE and Mass number. These elements have equal number of protons and neutrons. When there is an inequality between proton...

Thanks again. If charges are opposite, then attractive force exists. Will the coulomb law take a negative sign? That is F = -KQ1Q2/r^2 ?

Thanks for the help ehild. Btw, Both your quoted equation and the reply equation in your last reply was same.

Sorry cupid.callin. Now i have incorporated the attachments.

Homework Statement Revered members, Please see my both attachments. Homework Equations F21 = (q1q2/4∏ε0r122)*r12cap(unit vector) Is it wrong to use r12 instead of r21 for F21. Because my second attachment uses r21 for F21 and r12 or F12. I am confused. Please help which is correct...

Revered members, Conductors have positive temperature coefficient of resistance, that is , their resistance increases with temperature. While for insulators and semi conductors, the resistance decreases with increase in temperature, what we call negative temperature coefficient of resistance...

Thanks a lot stonebridge. Your help is very much appreciated

Thanks a lot ehild. The link you have given is so wonderful. I understood the concept. Thanks again.

From the graph plotted between Mass Number and Binding Energy per Nucleon, we infer the BE/A is stable for mass numbers between 20 and 60 (approximately) and decreases for A>60. Similarly the BE/A is very less for lighter nuclei, say, Helium. Nuclear forces are short range forces. So it is...

ok. Now i am confronted with the magnitude of test charge and source charge. Should they be of same magnitude? I presume the test charge is unit positive charge. But i can't get an idea of magnitude of source charge, in the concept of electric potential

Thanks again. How could we find which point is more positive?

Thanks ehild. Now, if i choose a point A say 5 cm from X and B at 9 cm from X, which is the point with higher potential?

Thanks for the detailed explanation, ehild. What is the position of the two points A and B in a electric field? For example, i draw a straight line XY. Where should i position the points A and B that satisfies your explanation? X_________________________________________y

Electric potential --- doubt in sign convention Homework Statement Revered members, I know dV = -E.dx so E = -dV/dx So E should be E = -V/x . But while deriving capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor when dielectric medium is introduced we use E = V/x. But how E = V/x? Homework...

Thanks omoplata. I raised this query in many forums but i could not get any satisfactory reply. Now with your example, i clearly understood the concept. Persons like you are an asset to this forum. Thanks a lot for your valuable help.

Omaplata, one more doubt. Why vsinθ has no effect in measurement of velocity? Only vcosθ has been taken into account. It has been mentioned since vsinθ is perpendicular to the vertical diameter, it has no effect. I don't understand. Could you clarify?

Thanks for your kind gesture omaplata. I understood now.
