First doubt: The impedance Z is defined how Z = R + j X and the reactance X can be wrote how: Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_reactance So, by analogy, the admitance Y is defined how Y = G + j B and the susceptance B can be wrote how what? So: B = \left( \frac{\omega C}{1}...

Hi forum, Is there anyway to quantify the proportions of light and heat energy generated from an element? I mean, is there a model which we can use to predict material energy conversion proportions when a voltage potential is applied to it.? Further, is the model able to predict material...

Most definitions of a matrix that I have seen involve entries that are elements of a field. What if I have a unorderd set with no operations defined on it, say a set of different colored marbles or a set of historical events. Can I have a matrix whose entries are elements of such a set?

Hi, Is there a way to find elements in ##GL_2(\mathbb{R})## with an arbitrary order other than by trial and error? Suppose I wanted to find ##A\in GL_2(\mathbb{R}):\; o(A)=165##. Is there no methodical way to find this? Is it possible perhaps I can find a product of matricies, each...

The state, ##| S\rangle##, say, of a system is represented as a vector in a Hilbert space. ##\psi (x, t)## is the representation of the state vector in the position eigenbasis; ##\psi (p, t)## in the momentum eigenbasis et cetera. That is, ##\psi (x, t) = \langle x|S\rangle##; ##\psi (p, t) =...

Homework Statement I have the following code which manipulates with basics of structures. There are function like reading and sorting data from structures. Now, I don't know how to write a function that reads name and surname of an author of a book, and then prints data about books that are...

Hey all. I am currently reading an article and there is a paragraph that I am having a hard time understand. This is what the paragraph says: "Since Ar = Arτ and Ai = -Aiτ, we know that only the lower triangular (including the diagonal) elements of Ar are independent and only the strictly lower...

How do I interpret the following: U={A|A^2=A, A is an element of M22} is not a subspace of M22. I don't quite understand what it's asking in terms of A^2=A. Thanks.

Given x,y elements of a hilbert space H, how do we conclude that x = y? Since there is an inner product, we can say that x = y only if (x,z) = (y,z) for all z in H. But is there a definition of equality which does not depend on the inner product? A hilbert space is a special instance of...

Dear Everyone, I'm searching for some specific elements for infrared (IR) sensor, such as Thermopile, Pyroelectric, Bolometer, MCT(HgCdTe), PbSe, or InSb sensors. Does anyone know how to get these kinds of elements ? ( I need some information about the manufacturers...) The elements are...

I've often wondered, but have never found a solid explanation for, why the chemical elements are found together in nature? Why aren't atoms all in a somewhat homogenous mix? Why are X atoms found with other X atoms? And why are isotopes found together, such as Uranium 235 and the far more...

I have the following theorem : "In a circle the angle at the center is double the angle at the circumference when the angles have the same circumference as base." (Figure is in the link) http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/java/elements/bookIII/propIII20.html English isn't my first language, so I...

We have the following statement by Euclid : "I say further that the angle of the semicircle contained by the straight line BA and the circumference CHA is greater than any acute rectilinear angle, and the remaining angle contained by the circumference CHA and the straight line AE is less than...

http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/java/elements/bookIII/propIII15.html I have understood the proof in general. It is only a small detail which I'm not sure. Maybe it's because english isn't my first language. Anyway, the part of the proof which says : "Then, since BC is nearer to the center and...

"Then, since on the circumference of each of the circles ABDC and ACK two points A and C have been taken at random, the straight line joining the points falls within each circle, but it fell within the circle ABCD and outside ACK, which is absurd. Therefore a circle does not touch a circle...

we can use avogadro's law and gay lussacs law to find atomicity of gases but what about solid elements

I manufacture heating elements and a customer wired a delta heater in parallel with a wye heater. They claim that this lowers the overall resistance of the delta thus causing this element to draw more amps than what it was designed for. I disagree and do not see how the heater is eternally...

I recently read this kind of question on Quora and found it interesting. Do all of the Earth's materials(and therefore humans) belong the same star of different star? What's more likely? In my opinion, the chances of all of the material belonging to one star are pretty slim because a complex...

Hi, I'm trying to simulate dynamic effects of current in terminal box by using Ansoft Maxwell, but the following error occurs: "Mesh quality of some elements is not accepted by solver." Can anybody help me please?

Since most planets in the earliest stages of formation are very hot and fluid, why is it that we find on Earth areas where there are substantial deposits of heavier elements - gold, uranium, etc in the crust? Intuition suggests that these relatively rare elements would become widely dispersed...

See title. I have a table that I've named B. And I want to create table that is essentially the change in values of B. If I was writing this on paper I would say: Let ##b_i \in B##, for ##0\leq i\leq100##. Then let ##c_i \in C## such that ##c_i= b_{i+1}-b_{i}##. I don't know how to say that in...

I checked out a very nice copy of Euclid's Elements from my university library containing unabridged translations of all 13 books. Nice big book, one proof per page, lots of diagrams. It's been interesting so far to flip through and even work a couple of the proofs myself, but now I want to...

This is from an example in my textbook: "The polynomial x^2+x+1 has no root in Z mod 2, and so is irreducible. Hence the required field is: F = Z_2[x] / <x^2 + x + 1> = {a + bt | a,b are elements of Z_2; t^2+t+1 = 0}. Thus F = {0, 1, t, 1+t} and t^2 = t + 1." I have two questions. My first...

Hello! :o Which are the elements of $\mathbb{F}_{2^2}$ ?? (Wondering) There are $4$ elements, right?? For each element $a$ in $\mathbb{F}_{2^2}$ it stands that $a^2=a \Rightarrow a^2 \in \mathbb{F}_{2^2}$, right??

I'd like to understand more about how/why carbon-based life comes about. All things are atomically based, why is it that carbon atoms/elements are able to sustain life better than any other element? Thank you

For group 15 elements the order of basicity given is NH3 > PH3 > AsH3 > SbH3 > BiH3 And order of reducing strength is BiH3 > sbH3 > AsH3 > PH3 > NH3 Why are they in opposite order? Reducing nature means tendency to donate electrons. Basicity means strength of bases and hence as basicity...

Hi! (Smile) A heap is a complete binary tree $T$. That means that a node of the tree has at most two children and for each nonempty subtree $t$ of $T$ it holds that the key of $t$ is greater than all the keys of the left subtree of $t$ and smaller than all the keys of the right subtree of $t$...

Why is it that one atom such as hydrogen has one proton while others have many. What is the mechanism driving this force which causes some atoms to be marked for one protons and others for many? And once they are say marked as hydrogen they can be nothing else, correct? Since hydrogen is the...

This notion perplexes me. Could I please have this explain with an example(s). I am confused are atoms not made up of the same protons and neutrons which are just essentially negatively or positively charged particles which are made of quarks? Which as confusing as that can become. How can one...
