    Electric Field and Charge of a Capacitor

    Tell me if I'm headed in the right direction since we are dealing with an electron I know the charge therefore should be able to figure out the electric field using the F=qE formula. |F|= 5.6e-14N q= -1.6e-19C E=350,000 N/C

    Help with Motion?

    Well if you plan on using your graphing calculator: you simply graph the function and use the calculators min/max function to find the x value at which it reaches maximum height, which corresponds to the peak of the parabola. Or if you know some calculus you can always take the derivative of the...

    Copper Impregnated anodes

    I have not tried linseed oil yet but I'll probably give it a shot. I have a question about using NaCl solution the question is how can i know when most of the NaCl has been converted to NaClO3 if it doesn't precipitate out. Are there ways of checking the NaClO3 concentrations in solutions.

    Copper Impregnated anodes

    Ok I see your right it does percipitate out while the cell is operating and i guess i do loose a good bit of product in the filtration process. You said it the precipitant causes the cell to dissipate more energy and heat could this be a cause for excessive anode wear. any way thanks for the...

    Copper Impregnated anodes
