    Computer Engineering or Software Engineering

    Hi, I am currently majoring in computer engineering and I don't know if going in the right path. I am enjoying my computer engineering courses but I also want to do a lot of the stuff that is offered in software engineering. My questions are: 1) How much of a difference (programming wise)...

    Test for convergence/divergence help

    Homework Statement test if (1+4^n)/(1+3^n) is convergent or divergent. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution using the ratio test. i got it equal to 5/4 which is > 1, so it diverges. can someone check this? what other methods are available?

    How Do You Calculate the Equivalent Capacitance of a Complex Circuit?

    Homework Statement Find the equivalent capacitance of the picture in the attachment file Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution The circuit is neither in parallel or series. I tried breaking it up into series and parallel but it seem too easy to be correct. Any tips on solving this?

    Electrostatic force of attraction between two particles

    im not an expert so I am not 100% sure but... a=F/m the forces acting on each other is equal but the masses are different. the proton, which has a bigger mass, will have a slower acceleration the electron, which has a smaller mass, will have a faster acceleration. in my conclusion, i think...

    How Would Changes in Coulomb's Law Affect Electrostatic Interactions?

    Homework Statement 1)Coulomb's law states that the electric force becomes weaker with increasing distance. Suppose that instead the electric force between two charged particles were independent of distance. In this case, would a charged comb still cause a neutral insulator to become polarized...

    Coulomb's Law: Attraction/Repulsion & Approximate Force Calculation

    yes, it should look like that. thanks. i don't know how to find the forces. would it be like this? assuming the Q's are: Q1(top left), Q2(top right), -Q3(bottom left), -Q4(bottom right) FQ1=[k(Q1Q2)/x2]+[k(Q1-Q3)/d2]+[k(Q1-Q4)/(x2+d2)]? and i do this for Q2, -Q3, -Q4?
