    Magnetic Moment of Point Charge

    Say I have a stationary point charge with a matching charge moving past it at a velocity. What is the magnetic potential energy of the stationary point charge? The formula for magnetic potential energy involves pole strength so I am confused. I can calculate the B field the stationary particle...

    Summer 2013 Math and Science REU Thread

    No, they didn't specify a project, but they pointed me towards the experimental condensed matter guys. Also LSU has apartment style living versus dorms at KSU

    Summer 2013 Math and Science REU Thread

    Accepted to KSU and LSU. Anyone know which has better condensed matter mentors/facilities? I'm leaning towards LSU. Also asked for more decision time because I haven't heard back from the majority of my applications :(

    Writing a Personal Essay for REU Physics Program

    I was wondering if you guys could provide some input on my personal statement. The prompt is, in 400 words, to explain your interest in the program, how it fits in with your goals, the science questions that intrigue you, the areas in which you would like to conduct research, relevant academic...

    Chances of Getting into PhD Program in Comp. Physics: 3.5 GPA, Top 20 LAC

    Okay that site there seems to be many questions with little answers even searching through the forums, and the 2012 Physics Graduate School acceptance/rejection thread here on PF is only one page...

    Chances of Getting into PhD Program in Comp. Physics: 3.5 GPA, Top 20 LAC

    PF Resident Academics... I'd like to gauge my chances, seeing as there doesn't seem to be a large amount of statistics concerning phD acceptance. I was wondering if you guys(or anyone extensively knowledgeable on the subject) could give me some insight on the quality of students accepted into...

    Fourier Equations Homework Solutions

    Homework Statement Attached. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution For #1: I've attempted to use the identity sin(x)sin(y) = 1/2(cos(x-y)-cos(x+y)) and the similar related identities for sin(x)cos(y) and cos(x)cos(y), but I end with answers that are undefined when m = n due to the...

    I am thinking about joining the Air Force

    I'm almost positive I failed the part that had Car parts, construction, etc. on it. But the academic side was almost too simple.

    I am thinking about joining the Air Force

    See...how will I know whether that discipline and values are for me? A Recruiter will be extremely biased, and I really am not familiar with anyone who has been through it.

    I am thinking about joining the Air Force

    Can someone link me to the nuclear navy program you guys are talking about? Also if I decide to do AFROTC, is it possible to enter the navy if I change my mind? Also I have to grades and ability to get a recommendation to get into either the Naval or Air Force academy, what are the advantages...
