    I Thinking about the static electric field in terms of QFT

    So according to classical electrodynamics, an electron would produce an electric field that is a physical entity in and of itself. This field has momentum so when a test charge is placed within this vicinity, it would be affected by the field itself, not the electron. But what about the QFT way...

    What are different terms of flight controllers?

    can anybody please tell me terminology of flight controller and it's specifications. Also, how these specs matter, like what is the effect of increase in Magintude or Frequency of different parameters which will help me buy a flight controller for a quadcopter. I want to build a FPV for racing.

    I Express power sums in terms of elementary symmetric function

    The sum of the $k$ th power of n variables $\sum_{i=1}^{i=n} x_i^k$ is a symmetric polynomial, so it can be written as a sum of the elementary symmetric polynomials. I do know about the Newton's identities, but just with the algorithm of proving the symmetric function theorem, what should we do...

    A Charge-current interaction: linear terms in a given quark

    I am trying to figure out the interaction terms in the Lagrangian which are linear in the top quark.I find that these terms can only be found in the charged-current interaction since the neutral-current interaction and the gluon-fermion couplings are quadratic in the top quark. Now, I find two...
