Homework Statement
I have to prove the Green's reciprocity theorem about the Electric field, electric potential, and magnetic field.
Relevant Equations
Intgral over all space J_2 cross B_1 = -Integral over all space J_1 cross B_2

I have to prove three equations above.
For first two equations, I've been thought and made reasonable answer by using a definition of the electricfield.
However, for third, I can't use a definition of a magnetic field due to the cross product
Like J_2 X J_1 X (r_2 - r_1).
I think three of 'em are kinda related to Newton's third law of lorentz force.
Does anyone know about the proof?
Or would you think you can prove these?

A:The third equation is simply a vector identity, and can be proved by expanding the cross products. $$\mathbf{J}_2 \times \mathbf{J}_1 \times (\mathbf{r}_2 - \mathbf{r}_1) = (\mathbf{r}_2 - \mathbf{r}_1)\cdot(\mathbf{J}_2 \times \mathbf{J}_1) - (\mathbf{J}_2 \cdot (\mathbf{r}_2 - \mathbf{r}_1))\mathbf{J}_1 + (\mathbf{J}_1 \cdot (\mathbf{r}_2 - \mathbf{r}_1)) \mathbf{J}_2$$The left-hand side of the equation is clearly zero, so the two terms on the right-hand side must also be equal to zero. The first term is equal to zero because the dot product of two vectors perpendicular to each other is zero. The second and third terms are equal to zero because $\mathbf{J}_2$ and $\mathbf{J}_1$ are constant, so they cannot depend on $\mathbf{r}_2 - \mathbf{r}_1$.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
