the picture shows that one posetiv report goes from p_1 to p_2. it will get a potential energy, this work that man has stored down on that few report to that place where it befinna, is bigger the more potential energy has it. this means that that potential energy is the work that the object can perform out because of its position.

1) how can it move from p_1 to p_2? it must be something as do that it goes against the direction that it want to, otherwise did not have it any performed work of course?

2) how comes it that accelerar compare with an identical charge,that we let the charge leave from the centers of the the homogeneous electrical field strength?

I'm sorryabout my English, is poor (bad)

Hi aloshi! :smile:

Yes, you're right, the positive charge cannot go towards the positive plate unless a force acts on it. The force is not shown in the diagram.

And the force times the distance (d) tells you the amount of work done , and that equals the difference in potential energy. :smile:

Yes, your English is rather bad.

I honestly can't tell what you're asking in 2). :redface:

1)
why is tension, (voltage), in an electrical field or in a circuit not it same? which factors are tension dependence of? how can one influence
2)
in a circuit so is not tension, voltage, it same, why is it so? it complete voltage is counted for the whole circuit, why is it so?

Hi aloshi! :smile:

(btw, we don't call it "tension" except sometimes in the case of "high-tension transmission", of kilovolts … in all other cases, we say "voltage" :wink:)

The definitions of voltage look different, but they are the same …

they are both energy/charge ! :wink:

(a volt is a joule per coulomb: 1V = 1J/C)

In an electric field, E, the voltage is:​

energy/charge

= work/charge

= force"dot"distance/charge

= (from the Lorentz force) electric field"dot"distance, or dV = E.dr

In an current, I (with power P), the voltage is:​

energy/charge

= (energy/time)/(charge/time)

= power/current, or V = P/I. :smile:
 
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...
