... A scalar is something with a value that is independent of coordinate system. Examples are mass, or the relative time between events. A vector has magnitude and direction. Under rotation, the magnitude stays the same but the direction changes. Scalars have no spatial index, whereas a three-dimensiona ...

... There are some intermediate materials such as carbon, germanium, and silicon. They are called semiconductors. The Earth is a good conductor and it acts as a giant reservoir to charge or discharge an object. If a body is connected to the ground with a metal (conductor) wire, it is called grounded. Fr ...

... 22. Two small spheres, with charges 1.6 × 10–5 C and 6.4 × 10–5 C, are situated 2.0 m apart. They have the same sign. Where, relative to these two objects, should a third object be situated, of the opposite sign and whose charge is 3.0 × 10–6 C, so that it experiences no net electrical force? Do we ...

... The first approach to the analysis in this problem is due to Lorentz. The basic idea is to consider a a spherical zone containing the dipole under study, immersed in the dielectric. The sphere is small in comparison with the dimension of the condenser, but large compared with the molecular dimensio ...

Supplemental Lecture II: Special Relativity in Tensor Notation
... We see that no matter which representation we choose, we always get the same result¶ . We now have all of the conceptual pieces of this new index notation in place. An object with one index is a vector, which is a set of three numbers that transforms in a particular way under rotations. An object wi ...
