One of the many mathematical techniques that are useful in the study of electrostatics is called the separation of variables method. This topic covers the application of this method to a situation in which the electrostatic potential in a spherically symmetric system is known. In such a system, the potential (potential and electrostatic potential are […]
LaTeX integration alone makes me wish I had moved to WordPress a long time ago. It is so easy to use, and with no effort on my part.
Magnetic Field from a Cylinder’s Magnetization
It is not intuitively obvious how an object’s magnetization relates to the magnetic field it generates. To develop a better physical picture of this phenomena consider an object with a given magnetization and then solve for the resulting magnetic field, B. A cylinder of radius, R, and length, L, in which R << L (i.e. […]
Seen in the wild; I didn’t realize that the mascot of Oak Ridge National Laboratory is the monkey. They should include this happy little monkey on their homepage.
Someone photographed the same amusement park before and after mobile devices became commonplace, and the result may be that people enjoy the park much less now. Is the park not as fun as it used to be, or are we distracted and unable to enjoy life’s moments? Also, CNN covered it.
A San Diego sunset harbor cruise is something that both tourists and locals can enjoy. This might be a poor photo, but it was a wonderful experience.
