    Electromagnetic Radiation Produced During Fission

    In a nuclear reactor, what kind of energy is produced when the radioactive isotopes go through fission? How much of it is in the form of electromagnetic waves? Are the waves mostly in the UV and Gamma Ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum?

    Estimating Ion Pairs Produced by 5MeV alpha in UF6

    Hello, I'm attempting to work out the number of ion pairs produced by a 5MeV alpha particle in UF6 (in each of the solid, liquid, and gas states). Using the technique from my old radiation physics book (Turner 3rd ed) I should simply apply the Bethe formula -\frac{dE}{dx}=\frac{4\pi...

    Automotive How much (roughly) brake torque can be produced by a regular car

    Hi everyone! I am new to the forum but you have helped me many times in the past. I need your opinion about how much (roughly) brake torque can be produced by a regular car. I am developing a simplified vehicle model and I don't know how much torque to apply when the vehicle slows down. I...

    Why higher resistance means more heat produced in a circuit

    They say that nichrome is a better heating element as it has a higher resistance. But if I take V=RI then ain't I decrease since R is high, so current is lesser. Thus, resulting in a lower power dissipated as heat? Also, they aq if I use the wrong wires like thin wires, it will cause a lot of...
