1. Maximum potential of a sliding box down a hill
1. A 150 kg box (with dimensions of 1.30 m on a side) sits at the top of a hill 4.35 m long angled at 30.0° to the horizontal. The box has 250 loops of wire wrapped around it. The loops lie in the plane of this paper. The box is allowed to slide down the hill, which has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.270. Once the box reaches the bottom of the hill, it slides along a horizontal frictionless plane, where it encounters a magnetic field produced by a 1.25 m long solenoid with 5000 loops and a current of 1.40 A running through it. The magnetic field points out of the page.
a. What is the maximum potential produced in the wires wrapped around the box as it passes through the magnetic field? (The size of the field is large compared to the size of the box)
b. In what direction does the induced current flow?
c. If the wires have an internal resistance of 750 Ω, what is the maximum amount of induced current that flows through the loop?


2. i don't understand what to do after this point
3.
150 kg
l=1.3m
A=1.69m^2
n=250 loops
u=0.270
B= out of the page
l=1.25m
n=5000 turns
I=1.4 A

B(horz)= (u(o) NI) / l
B(horz)= [(4*pi*10^-7)(5000)(1.4A)]/1.25M
B(horz)=0.00704 T

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...
