Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the equation Q = mω, where Q represents charge, m is mass, and ω is frequency. The original poster questions the validity and consistency of this equation in the context of physics, particularly relating to the concept of "exchange charge" as mentioned in a referenced paper.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are questioning the consistency of the equation with respect to SI units, noting that charge is measured in amp-seconds while the right side of the equation yields kilograms per second. There is also a concern about the clarity and descriptiveness of the thread title in relation to the question posed.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with some participants providing feedback on the equation's consistency and others addressing the need for clearer communication in the thread title. There is no explicit consensus on the validity of the equation at this stage.

Contextual Notes

There are indications that the original poster may be referencing specific literature, which could be influencing their understanding of the equation. Additionally, the forum's rules regarding thread titles and descriptiveness are being highlighted as a point of contention.

Homework Statement



Just the question of an equation.

m is mass
Q is charge and
omega is frequency

Homework Equations



Q=m\omega

The Attempt at a Solution



Has anyone ever seen this equation before?

Q=m\omega

Apparently is it the ''exchange charge'' according to a paper I have been reading. Is this even consistent this equation?

No that is not consistent. In base SI units, charge is give in amp-seconds and the other side of your equation would be kilograms per second.
 
I got infracted for this... apparently this thread wasn't descriptive! LOL

I really don't know how more realistically descriptive it could have been.

The title of your thread could mean many different things. The PF rules (please re-read the Rules link at the top of the page) require you to make your thread title descriptive of the question you are asking in the thread. You should have stated *what* you were asking about in the thread in your title. Please take care to use better titles in the future.
