I'm such a clutz! I meant to say that the current magnitudes INCREASE as a function of drain voltage after sintering. This is apparent from the IV curves provided. In that case, I guess it makes sense because sintering is supposed to create better ohmic contacts. Although if the contacts were...
Hello forum,
I am having a little trouble interpreting the data I got for a recent project in my fabrication lab. I created transistors of varying gate widths and lengths and am characterizing them by performing various electrical measurements. Initially, after completing my device, the IV...
Homework Statement
My question comes from problem 2 of this homework set, but is dependent on problem 1 of this same homework set. In problem 1 I used the method of images to find the potential everywhere in two dimensions due to an infinite uniform line charge located some distance from a...
Are there such things as negative conductivities and/or resistivities in the real world? If so, what would these materials' electric characteristics be? This question is coming from my reading in an EM textbook where the EM wave equations are solved for a source-free, lossy medium (finite...
Hello Forum,
I'm a first year graduate student in a Master's in electrical engineering program. I am currently taking several graduate courses in different fields so that I may make the very important decision of what to focus on in my later coursework. I would like to ask those of you with...
Using Maxwell's equation
\nabla \cdot E=\frac{q_{ev}}{ε_{0}}
where q_{ev} is the electric charge density and noting that q_{ev}=0 for a source free medium, I get:
\nabla \cdot...
Homework Statement
The problem calls for finding the relationship between the constants A and B in the following equation of an instantaneous electric field:
E=[A(x+y)\widehat{a}_{x}+B(x-y)\widehat{a}_{y}]cos(wt)
The details of the medium in which the field exists are that it is...
Hello forum,
I am concerned with choosing the correct area of specialization within the electrical engineering masters program I will be starting this Fall; I hope to choose a research area that will prepare me the most for working in the space technology industry. My ideal career would be...
New Subforum Idea! - School Application Portfolios
Hello forum!
I have an idea for a new category in the "Academic Guidance" section of this forum which I wanted to present to the admins and mods of this forum. Please let me know what you think!
I am currently going through the...
First off, thank you both for your feedback. Here is my 1st revision of the rough draft. I tried to incorporate each of your suggestions and also tried to take out some of the fat. I cut away 400 words to make it more concise. Please let me know what you think. The divisions were really for my...
Hello forum,
I am posting the rough draft of my Statement of Purpose that I will be submitting to Southern California Universities. I am applying for a Master's in Electrical Engineering. Ideally, I would like feedback from some of you who have already gone through this process and know what...
Hello forum moderators,
I am in the process of applying to Masters programs in Electrical Engineering. I have finished a rough draft of my Statement of Purpose and would like to get some feedback on it. Could I possibly post it in a thread in this particular forum? If not, where should I post it?
Since our goal is to clear the wall, we want to use the trajectory of the projectile which will have its highest point coinciding with the location of the wall. If the top of the ramp is 0.5m off the ground and the wall is 1.2m tall, how high must the projectile rise after leaving the ramp to...
Thanks for the reply chill_factor. Would you say that what you've stated is generally true for the biomedical engineering field regardless of whether you get a Masters or Phd? Would you say in your opinion that the low salaries are not really worth the time and effort you would have to put in...
