    RLC Circuit: Find Applied Source Voltage

    What if I took them as vectors? VR = 40 VC = -20i VL = 50i V=40+30i The magnitude of this is sqrt (402 + 302) = sqrt (1600 + 900) = sqrt(2500) = 50 volts Is this correct?

    RLC Circuit: Find Applied Source Voltage

    But the values of resistance and reactance aren't given for capacitor and inductor, so how should I calculate their voltages? Or I just can't add them anyway? So how to reach the answer?

    Contact Process: SO3 Not Absorbed in Water

    So formation of that mist which manifests that the reaction is highly reactive means that reaction is exothermic?

    Light Momentum & Photography: Facts & Effects

    I've read somewhere that only red light is used in photography because of its low energy which does not affect the photographic plate. So my question is that when light shines on a surface, is momentum transferred to the metal surface?

    Moving electrical charges and Maxwell's equations

    MY knowledge (which still remains untested) is that an accelerating electric charge produces a changing electric field. This changing electric field then produces a changing magnetic field which again sets up a changing electric field. This continuous process is known as an electromagnetic wave...

    Understand Mass Spectrometers: Separation and Analyzing

    In mass spectrometer, isotopes are isolated and their atomic masses are determined. This is done in a mass spectrometer, in which first the atoms are ionized, vaporized then accelerated (because of their positive charges by electrodes) and finally are deflected in a perpendicular magnetic...

    How does top-spin effect a tennis ball's flight?

    If memory serves, this is according to Bernoulli's principle. When velocity of a fluid increases, pressure decreases. Air, being a fluid, flows faster on one side of the ball and slower on the other (due to the spin given to the ball) which creates a pressure difference on the two sides. A net...

    Problem relating to the Heisenberg's Principle

    So it's 4pi not 2pi? Actually the answer I'm getting is different from that which is given at the end of my physics book. And while solving the problem, doesn't it become \Deltax\Deltap=h/4pi?

    Problem relating to the Heisenberg's Principle

    Homework Statement An electron is placed in a box about the size of an atom that is about 1*10^-10m. What is the velocity of the electron? Homework Equations Heisenberg's equation xp=h/2pi xmv=h/2pi v=h/2pi*x*m where x=1*10^-10m m=9.1*10^-31kg h=planck's cosntant...

    Self Quenching In Geiger-Muller Counter

    Can anyone explain the following (the capitalized text)? "The ions of the quenching gas reach the cathode before the principal gas ions. When they reach near the cathode, THEY CAPTURE ELECTRONS (secondary?) AND BECOME NEUTRAL MOLECULES. FOLLOWING NEUTRALIZATION, THE EXCESS ENERGY OF THE...
