Homework Statement So i had to do an experiment which consisted of measuring the current and voltage across different resistors. Here's my question: i recorded the current through the wire that passes through the resistor and compared it with the current which i calculated (theoretical). In...

Hi, there exist tables with group theory breaking patters and branching rules such as E_7 \rightarrow E_6 \times U(1) 133 \rightarrow 78 + 1 + 27 + \bar{27} 56 \rightarrow 1 + 1 + 27 + \bar{27} What is missing is the U(1) charge. Does anyone know how to obtain it? Perhaps it could be...

Hi, Could u advise me please some references where the Feynman rules for graviton are derived I mean graviton-scalar graviton-graviton scattering ... in general graviton vertecies ... Thank you

I'd like to know if Kirchhoff's laws of voltage and current are valid in circuit with alternate current. If I'm not wrong, in such circuits, the E field provided by the emf is varying with time. And I've heard that Kirchhoff's laws are a special case of Faraday's law of induction but with a...

String theory requires 9 spatial dimensions, M-theory 10. One followup to Verlinde's paper is this: http://arxiv.org/abs/1002.0488 Hidden symmetries for thermodynamics and emergence of relativity Liu Zhao (Submitted on 2 Feb 2010) Verlinde recently proposed an idea about the thermodynamic...

How does one deal with a delta squared ? For example, volume is a function of del Diameter and del Length. If i let v = d^2(pi)L/4, and then call the d and L del. d and del L, when i separate for d i get del d^2 So I'm wondering if there are any special rules for squaring a "del"

The transition in the n=2 state of Helium from 3P1 (m=0) to 3S1 (m=0) is forbidden. I know this, because I went to a lecture where a group measured the fine structure constant very precisely using this fact. However, as far as I can see, according to atomic selection rules (available here...

Today I wrote a chemistry mid term examination. I was nearly finished when I heard "OK, times up, bring your test to the front", too bad i didn't finish I thought. On my way to the front I noticed people still writing the exam. I thought well that's unfair, but hey that's life. After I handed my...

This is a situation that happened back in 2005. I never talked to her ever since, nor am I in love with her. I am just mad at the principle that she felt a need to abide within a framework of a certain "game" and "rules". Here is the thread that describes the situation in more detail...

I'm trying to work out the correct algorithm for using Kirchoff's rules when using a non-ohmic resistor like a light bulb. The problem is that the resistance depends on the voltage, but the voltage may depend on the resistance (a simple example: a bulb and a resistor in series: how should the...

I'm learning QFT by reading Lewis Ryder's book, so my question in short is: how he arrives at Eq 7.57 and Eq 7.58? If you don't have the book, the question is: why are there Minkowski metric terms in the Feynman rules for a gauge field coupling to itself? If the answer is complicated, simply...
