    Induced EMF in a Pair of Circular Wires with Changing Magnetic Field

    Homework Statement The setup is a pair of two circular wires, a small one of radius b and a large one with radius 2b, both sharing the same center and located on the same plane. There is a magnetic field of strength B within the smaller circle that comes out of the paper towards the observer...

    Potential Energy of Electric Charges

    No, she definitely wanted a numeric answer. This is actually an AP Physics B class, but our teacher really doesn't know what she is doing. I had to argue almost every question on a kinematics test once until she realized she had the wrong answer key for the problems. She has a PhD is...

    What is the correct sign convention for the change in internal energy?

    The entire difference is in sign conventions; the sign merely depends on your method of thinking on how the system does work on its surroundings. In the formula delta u=Q-W, W is positive when the system does work on its surroundings and negative when the surroundings do work on the system...

    Potential Energy of Electric Charges

    Hello all, my reason for posting is to clarify a topic of electrostatics that I recently covered in physics. I turned in an assignment and my teacher marked an answer wrong and gave a strange explanation of how to solve it. Here is my attempt at the solution. Homework Statement A charge of...

    Integration by substitution with radicals

    Yeah, sorry about that, I should really learn to use the LaTeX code better. And I believe the final answer would be h'(2)=4\sqrt{65}. There we go, that's a start. Thanks for all of your help!

    Integration by substitution with radicals

    I already did rearrange the limits, that's about the only part that I knew to do initially. I did a little research and found that the derivative with respect to x of the integral from 2 to x^2 of √(1+t^3) dt equals -f'(g(x))g'(x) (negative because I flipped the limits). Now if f(x)=√(1+x^3)...

    Integration by substitution with radicals

    Okay, so if h(x)= \int_{2}^x^2 \sqrt{1+t^3} \ dt and \sqrt{1+t^3} equals h'(t), then h(x)=h'(x^2)? The solution is h'(x)=√(1+(x^2)^3) and h'(2)=√65? This doesn't sound right, so I apologize for my ignorance.

    Integration by substitution with radicals

    If I understand this right, I'm setting f(x)= ∫√(1+t^3) dt, lower limit=2, upper limit=x So f'(x)= √1+x^3 and g'(x)=2x. Going back to the original equation, h'(x)=-f'(g(x))g'(x)=√[1+(x^2)^3]2x=2x√(1+x^2) h'(2)=2(2)√(1+2^2)=4√5 is that right?

    Integration by substitution with radicals

    Homework Statement 2 h(x)=∫√(1+t^3) dt find h'(2) x^2 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I started out solving this equation by flipping x^2 and 2 and making the integral negative. From here on out, I'm lost. I've tried substituting u in for 1+t^3 and solving...
