Homework Statement


use E_m=1/n (E)p(E)dE integral from 0 to Infinity
to derive E_m=3/5(E_f)


Homework Equations


n= p(E)dE integral from 0 to infinty
also n=Q*sqrt(E)dE integarl from 0 to (E_f)
p(E)=Q*sqrt(E)/(e^(E-E_f)+1)


The Attempt at a Solution


i tried doing integration by parts on it and moving stuff around but i can't seem to get it , is there a trick in using that the integral from o to infinty of p(E)dE = 0

Please learn to use the latex command here. Otherwise most people won't understand what you are saying and won't help you. I can't even understand half of what you typed out.

scroll about half way down the page and you will see
total energy of a Fermi sphere , how do i show that , that integral turns into
3/5(Energy)
 
Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
