    Methods of Sending Notifications to Mobile Devices.

    Thank you all for your help. I had looked into this quite a bit, but I wasn't sure if there were other solutions that I hadn't some across. I was thinking that I would have to go through a service provider to accomplish this task and it seems that's the only viable option. I had considered...

    Methods of Sending Notifications to Mobile Devices.

    I'm in the process of prototyping a monitoring device. When certain conditions are met, I need to send a SMS or comparable type of message to a mobile phone. My issue is that I don't really have any ideas on how to do that. I've tried to find answers in other places, but I haven't been able to...

    Gauss's Law for Spherical Symmetry

    So from the center to the edge of the sphere (R = 1), I know the enclosed charge should be: from 0 to 1, ∫ρ(r)4(pi)r^2 dr = 4pi[(1/4)r^4] from 0 to 1 = pi When put into E(r), this does give k(pi)/r^2, but I'm confused about this result because...

    Gauss's Law for Spherical Symmetry

    Find the electric field for a non-conducting sphere of radius R = 1 meter that is surrounded by air in the region r > 1. The interior of the sphere has a charge density of ρ(r) = r. The answer is k(pi)/r^2, but I can't seem to get that. My problem is with finding the enclosed charge. I've tried...

    Physics What Career Paths Are Available for Physics Majors Outside Academia?

    I'm currently studying Electrical Engineering, but I like Physics a lot more. The only reason I didn't initially major in Physics was that Engineering was much more employable. This may not be a great question, but what opportunities are available to someone who has a masters degree or higher in...
