Elementary Test

AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on the concept of elementary charge, specifically the charges of electrons and protons. An electron carries a charge of -1, while a proton has a charge of +1, both of which are expressed in terms of elementary charge (e). The participants confirm that these values are indeed considered elementary charges. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding these fundamental concepts for upcoming tests. Overall, the clarification of elementary charge is essential for students studying physics.

elementary charge(someone please help, i have a test tomorrow!)

ok, this goes for everybody,

u know how in school, u learn that an electron has a charge of -1 and a proton has a charge of +1? is this in elementary charge(e)?

thanx.:)

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...

Thread 'Why measure the speed of light in one direction?'

It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
