    How Is Electric Field Amplitude Related to Power in Electromagnetic Waves?

    Hi I am having trouble relating power to the electric field amplitude, I know that P=IA and E=cB, could someone please help? The problem reads: What electric-field amplitude is required to transmit an amount of power equal to that handled by modern transmission lines (that carry voltages and...

    Solving the Acceleration of a Charged Particle

    u X v, but what is u and what is v in the formula? ((3.11 x 10^4)*(1.63T)) - ((3.11*10^4)*(0.980T)) = (2.02*10^4), so ((2.02*10^4)(1.22*10^8))/(1.81*10^-3) = acceleration... Is that right?

    Solving the Acceleration of a Charged Particle

    Hi I need help finding what the acceleration is for the following problem: A particle with a mass of 1.81x10(-3) kg and a charge of 1.22 x 10(-8) C has at a given instant a velocity v=(3.11 x 10(4) m/s)j. What are the magnitude and direction of the particle's acceleration produced by a uniform...

    How do you find the resistance of a coil

    R=V/I, but I is not given, so does "I" have something to do with time?

    How do you find the resistance of a coil

    A coil is to be used as an immersion heater for boiling water. The coil is to operate at a voltage of V and is to heat an amount of water with a volume of v by T degrees C in a time interval of t seconds. Use 4190 for the specific heat capacity of water and 1000 for the density of water. How...

    Sig Fig Problem: Calculating t with I=3.20A, L=4.2m, etc

    In this one problem I am given I=3.20A, L=4.2m, cross-section=.00220m, n=8.85*10^28, and e=1.6*10^-19. I am using an equation that is set up like this to find the t=((l*w)*n*q*L)/I When I calculate ((0.00220m)^2*(8.85*10^28)(1.6*10^-19)*(4.2))/(3.2) I get 8.99*10^4 and for some reason the sig...

    Solving Capacitor Problem - Find q1

    Capacitor Problem! Hi I have a problem where the applied potential is V_ab, Capacitors C1 and C2 are in parallel, and the combination is in series with C3. Now I'm trying to find the charge q1 on the capacitor C1. I thought that q1 = V_ab*((C3*C1*C2)/(C3 + C2+ C1)), but it is wrong. Can someone...

    Speed of Electron in Two-Charge System

    Two stationary point charges and +3.00*10^-9 C and +2.00*10^-9 C are separated by a distance of 50.0 cm. An electron is released from rest at a point midway between the two charges and moves along the line connecting the two charges. What is the speed of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from...

    Total Electric Charge on an annulus

    Thank-you so much for your help! I have a part 2 of the problem that says "A point particle with mass, m, and negative charge, -q, is free to move along the x-axis (but cannot move off the axis). The particle is originally placed at rest at and released. Find the frequency of oscillation of the...
