1. ### What is the work done to move this Charge?

I found two formulas to calculate the work done. One is with this path integral: $W_{AB}$ = W($r_A,r_B$)=q* $\int_{r_A}^{r_B} E*dr$ but here is the one I tried to use: $W_{AB}$ = q*Δ U = q*($\frac {kQ} {r_A}$ - $\frac {kQ} {r_B}$ ) Now heres my problem, what are...
2. ### Why Potential Energy cannot be included twice?

If for example I have two charged particles q_1 , q_2 with distance 'r' between them, then: The potential energy that results from particle q_1 exerting force on particle q_2 is $$k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r}$$ If I do the same process for particle q_2: The potential energy that results...

Why is angular momentum conserved for a charge in an electric field?
5. ### I A Couple Magnetism Questions

Hello, there are a couple things about magnetism that I do not understand. 1. Why didn't we define the magnetic field to be in the directions of the force? This isn't really a technical question, I am just more curious about why it is this way. The way I was thinking of it, the math seems to...

Hej Guys, Did anyone see anywhere an equation to this? If nothing else then a loading time formula for solenoid would do. Thank you!

12. ### Spin of a nucleus within an external magnetic field.

When a nucleus is placed inside an external magnetic field, it aligns itself parallel to the field, as that is the most stable position for it to be in. In more technical terms: it acquires an alpha spin. When you shine radio waves at this nucleus, it absorbs energy and flips over anti-parallel...
13. ### I Question on the work done while charging up a capacitor.

So the work done when charging up a capacitor is $dW=VdQ$ However, when we add a charge $dQ$ to the capacitor, $V$ also changes accordingly, so I was wondering why the work done wasn't written as $dW=VdQ+QdV$ (one that also takes into account t he change in $V$). Thanks in advance.
14. ### I Charge-Dipole Derivation - Assumption That x >> a

In this derivation: https://cpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com/sites.northwestern.edu/dist/8/1599/files/2017/06/taylor_series-14rhgdo.pdf they assume in equation (8) that x >> a in order to use the Taylor Expansion because a/x has difficult behavior. Why does that assumption work? Meaning, why can we...

Homework Statement An antimuon and electron may bind together via Coulomb attraction and then decay, but is the following process possible? (µ+e-) → νe + νµ_bar *The νµ_bar is the antiparticle of the muon neutrino - the antimuon neutrino More than one answer (below) may be correct. a)...
16. ### B Energy, What Is It?

I have a simple two-part question, or two simple questions. 1. What is energy? 2. What is charge? The charge I'm referring to is the charge on charged subatomic particles. And atom's charge is defined by the number of electrons and protons present in it. But an electron itself is called a...
17. ### B Voltage vs charge?

If voltage is the difference in charge between 2 points, then why for a capacitor of a larger area or thinner dielectric cross section, do they say that it can store more charge given the same apppied voltage? Isnt voltage the difference in charge between 2 points? So if you can store more...

We have the electric charge for the electromagnetic force, the color charge for the strong force. What is the charge for the weak force? Thank you. :)
25. ### I Why isn't a capacitor an open circuit?

I understand the basics of how capacitors work. If you hook one up to a power source, negative charge will build up on one plate, and positive charge will build up on the other plate. As the charges build up, an electric field forms between the plates and a potential difference is established...
26. ### I When Electric Field is 0 is potential also 0?

So here is how my book defined electric potential. If you take a charge, it will have a corresponding electric field associated with it. If you put another charge in that electric field, an electrostatic force will act on it and give it kinetic energy. This kinetic energy can't come from thin...
