    Relativity: can two observers see two events in reverse?

    Homework Statement S' moves at velocity 0.6c with respect to S, and x=x'=0 at t=t'=0. Two events are recorded. In S, event 1 occurs at x=0 and t=0, and event 2 occurs at x=3000m and t=4μs. At what times does S' say the events happened? Does S' see the events in reverse order from S? The...

    How Do Minority and Majority Carriers Affect Current in a PN Junction?

    In a PN junction under reverse bias, a small bit of current exists due to the movement of minority carriers. Under equilbrium, no current passes through. Am I right in thinking that the movement of minority carriers under equilibrium is canceled by the little bit of majority carriers that passes...
