Homework Statement



A torch battery has an emf of 6.0V and an internal resistance of 1 Ohms. What is the voltage measured by a voltmeter connected across the terminals of the battery, when the battery is connected to a bulb that draws 0.5 A from the battery?

Anyways thanks I solved it.

For future reference, if you're satisfied that you've figured out the problem and are satisfied with the answer, edit your thread title to include the word "[SOLVED]" at the start of it. This will let the helpers know that you're all right and they won't need to open your zero-reply thread. Thanks!

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...

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...
