    Relationship between molarity & concentration?

    Hello! In my chemistry lab we did an experiment where the purpose was to find the estimated concentration of sugar in unknown solutions. We used 10 mL of each solution, and I determined the mass of the solution of each unknown. From there I calculated the density (mass over volume). Using that I...

    Magnetic Concentration: Exploring Halbach Arrays & Maxwell's Eqs

    Is the soft iron core the only known way of concentrating magnetism? I know that Halbach arrays create a sort of "monopole" by canceling the field on one side of the magnet but that, in my opinion, is not really concentration but rather asymmetrical field distortion. Afterall, the array doesn't...
