As we draw the electric field lines due to 2 equal magnitude and same nature charges. But when we solve the question concerning the same case we take the resultant of forces due to both charges at a test charge in such a manner that the 2nd charge(let I put the test charge on the left side i.e...
Gravity is weak - while we can study the other interactions with individual particles, for gravity we need macroscopic objects to get measurable forces. This makes it easy to measure quantum effects for the other interactions, but hard to do so with gravity. Gravitational forces are always...
Hi all,
I have done the question in two methods. The first method is done by rational root test and the second method is by modulo p (theorem is as attached). It seems that my answers for both methods do not tally.
1. Where have I done wrong in the attached for the methods? Which is the...

Apologies if this is a stupid question, so for e.g, in a Schwarzschild space-time we look at ##R^{abcd}R_{abcd} ## (we seek some scalar quantity that blows-up and can not use ##R##as we are looking at vacuum solutions so we know this is zero)
The reason we seek a scalar is because it is the...

Hello! (Wave)
We want to find an efficient algorithm that checks whether an odd number is a prime or not.
In order to obtain such an algorithm, one tests the congruence $(X+a)^n \equiv X^n+a$ not "absolutely" in $\mathbb{Z}_n[X]$, but modulo a polynomial $X^r-1$, where $r$ have to be chosen in...
