I recently watched a documentary presented by Professor Brian Cox called Human Universe. In it he was wondering how much leeway he would have, if he was "the creator of our universe", to alter the physical constants. He then went on to say that if he altered the speed of light one way then...

So I'm really confused with the relationship between magnetic field strength and voltage. Say you have a battery (with a DC voltage) with 4 coils, when voltage increases, does magnetic field strength increase? Is there any law (i.e. Faraday's law) that supports this?

Maybe this question is pretty simple to tackle, but I’m really confused with it. Perhaps I’m just overthinking. The question is: The glue on a piece of tape can exert forces. Can these forces be a type of simple friction? Explain, considering especially that tape can stick to vertical walls...

While I am familiar with the derivation of the relationship between mean translational kinetic energy, ##<E_k>##, and temperature, ##T##, for an ideal gas (namely ##<E_k> = \frac{3}{2}k_B T##); I fail to see how we can establish such a relationship for solids, liquids, and even real gases. Could...

The mass-radius relationship for a white dwarf star is defined by : R= (9pi)^0.66 /8 * h^2/m1 * 1/(Gm2^1.66*M^.333), where m1= electron mass, m2=proton mass, G=grav. constant, h=planck's constant I want to take a proportion with the solar mass and solar radius, which would involve a division...

I've been wondering for a while why force is the negative derivative of potential energy. In our books, they write that F=-dU/dx, and U=-W I don't really understand why it should be negative. Doesn't the force need to be positive in order to increase the potential energy? For example, when you...
