    Conjugates in exponential form

    Homework Statement Show that (ez)*=ez* note: * is the conjugate Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution So I wasn't sure what form to put this in...either in exponential reiѲ or cos Ѳ + isin Ѳ...Either way, I think I'm just making it too easy... Please help!

    Complex Analysis: Proving Vector z1 Parallel to z2

    Ok, so I recalculated my final value for the imaginary part and got... 0=r1r2(sin Ѳ1cos Ѳ2-cos Ѳ1sin Ѳ2) So then I got: sin Ѳ1cos Ѳ2=cos Ѳ1sin Ѳ2 So from here, do I just try to show that Ѳ1=Ѳ2 to show that the vectors are parallel? If so, how would I go about doing that?

    Complex Analysis: Proving Vector z1 Parallel to z2

    Homework Statement Show that the vector z1 is parallel to z2 if and only if Im(z1z2*)=0 note: z2* is the complement of z2 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I would probably convert z to polar form. so, z1=r1(cos Ѳ1+isin Ѳ1) z2=r2(cos Ѳ2+isin Ѳ2) so...

    Prove: (z̄ )^k=(z̄ ^k) for z≠0 when k is negative

    Yes, that is my question. Sorry for the lack of clarity. So I rewrote z in polar form, but I wasn't sure about what the conjugate of that would be...would the exponent just be negated? (the iѲ term). If that was the case, would I simply combine the exponents in the left side of the equation...

    Prove: (z̄ )^k=(z̄ ^k) for z≠0 when k is negative

    Homework Statement Prove that (z̄ )^k =(z̄ ^k) for every integer k (provided z≠0 when k is negative) Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I let z=a+bi so, z̄ =a-bi Then I plugged that into one side of the equation to get (a-bi)^k I was going to try to manipulate this...

    Calculating Induced Current in a Rectangular Loop

    Homework Statement A WxH rectangular loop of wire, with resistance R, lies on a table a distance s from a separate long straight wire carrying a current I. If the loop is pulled to the right, parallel to the wire, with the speed v, then what is the magnitude of the current induced on the...

    E/M Vector Potential of finite Wire

    Homework Statement Consider a finite wire which lies on the z-axis and extends from the point z=-Λ to the point z=+Λ. The vector potential in the xy plane a distance s from the wire is: Λ->∞ A=(µₒI/2π) ln (2Λ/s) k̂ An equally good vector potential is given by A'=A+∆λ, where λ is any...

    What is the limit of the expression (3sqrt{n})^(1/2n)?

    Homework Statement Determine the limit of: lim ((3sqrt{n})^(1/2n)) Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I don't even know where to begin...perhaps squaring the entire term so I get.. 9n^(1/[4n^2]) which is equivalent to n^[1/(n^2)] But I don't know what the limit...

    Calculating Force on Charge q near Washer

    Homework Statement There is a washer (inner radius is a and outer radius is b) on the x-y axis with a constant surface charge density σ . What is the force felt on charge q on z-axis distance D from center of washer. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I don't even know...

    Write down the general normalizable solution

    Homework Statement potential V(x)=-αδ(x+a)-αδ(x-a) write down the general normalizable solution to the time independent Schrodinger equation in the case E<0, without yet imposing any boundary conditions. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I divided this problem into...
