What is the correct math notation for the Coulomb Barrier?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying the correct mathematical notation for the radius of the Coulomb Barrier. The user seeks a single symbol representation rather than an equation, expressing difficulty in finding this information online. A suggested equation for electric potential energy, U = -kQ/r, is mentioned, but the user clarifies they are looking for a specific symbol. The inquiry emphasizes the need for clarity in scientific notation for editing a peer-reviewed paper. Overall, the conversation highlights a gap in accessible resources for precise mathematical symbols in physics.

I am trying to find out what is the correct way to write the mathematical demarkation for the Coulomb Barrier.

You know, if I wanted to write the symbol for the radius of the coulomb barrier.

If anyone could show me it in the correct font that would be great.

NO, this isn't for homework, I am helping edit a friend's peer reviewed paper.

Thanks.

Thanks in advance.
 
Uh, is it not just U=-kQ/r?

Thank you for your response...

I found a webpage using that equation, but it doesn't explain what the U means

I am trying to write "the radius of a coulomb barrier" as a mathematical symbol (one symbol, not an equation).

What is the symbol I should use?


Again, thank you. I know these questions sound dumb, but I really can't find it anywhere on the web. Peace
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
