Homework Statement



i have a graph or r against V and to make it a straight plot i then plotted ln(r) against V,

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


the problem is i dnt know how to find the capacitance from the graph. it definitely isn't the gradient or the point of interception since the capacitance needs to be in the pF. I've already worked out what the capacitance should be theoretically i.e. using C= 2\pi\epsilon/ln (r/a) and it came out to be 40pF

any advice would be appreciated. Thankyou

You know that C is defined as Q/V. Nobody can see your graph so nobody will really be able to help you at all.
 
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...
