I want to work on battery technology. What field does this best fall under?

AI Thread Summary
Studying chemical engineering is relevant for a career in battery technology, but the choice of classes is crucial. Solid state and condensed matter physics are recommended areas of focus. Seeking advice from professors can help clarify which courses to take. The degree program may influence graduate school options, with engineering, materials science, and physics all being viable paths. Ultimately, a well-rounded education in these fields will enhance prospects in battery technology.

So far I've been studying chemical engineering and it is mostly applicable. I'm not sure which classes I should be taking, though, and whether ChemE is even the best program to study within.

Ideas?

Solid state/condensed matter physics should definitely be helpful.

I will try and take these courses. I think I'll ask a professor which classes I should take.

Do you think the degree program I choose will matter? Or for graduate school? As in, engineering vs. mat sci vs. physics vs. ?
 

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
