    Identify problems with experiment question...

    adamb, it is not that there is a misunderstanding of forces and torque, the forces acting on either side of the armature are in the same direction, giving no torque, due to the reversal of the direction of the windings

    Identify problems with experiment question...

    ok, magnets were fine | N..............| | N..............| therefore there is a south pole in the middle, and makes a nice little magnetic field. 1. the coils were NOT connected to the commutator 2. there was NO power supply 3. the coil was wound around the armature 25 times in...

    plotting the bloody TRAJECTORY of a satellite...

    mars orbit from the diagram, i assumed that mars radius around the sun is about twice that of earth, - i know its not, then using r^3 =kT^2, and comparing the length of the arc that earth travelled, could figure out mars was bout 1/6 the way around from where it started, or 1/(2xsqrt8)

    current from photocell? with varying frequencies

    if youve got a photocell? i think thats the one, - thermionic device, ? theres a circuit with a vacuum tube, and a potential difference applied across it, when photons hit the photo sensitive electrode, electrons are emitted, and travel across the vacuum, but the electric field opposes their...

    Meissner Effect

    alternate problem ook, how about if the magnet is held under the superconductor? it will fall again, then lenz's law will kick in and suspend it below the superconductor? our teacher is a dick so i when i asked him he pretty much told me that i am an idiot. should also hold it to one side of...

    calculating pH of sulfuric acid

    i know how to calculate the pH of HCl etc, but sulfuric acid is diprotic.... cant rememeber exactly what happens, but, after the first ionisation, isnt hso4- an extremely weak base.... conjugate base thing? or does that second H ionise too, to make a nice happy situation.

    Tested on non-syllabus material
