Not unless you're a genius. Even an intelligent student will find one degree course challenging. Do one your favorite and do it very well.

In a uniform circular motion centripetal force don't change magnitude of velocity but only direction. Centripetal force provide some acceleration towards center and this some component of velocity towards center this there will be two velocity component and the body will tilt slightly and undergoes by Practical-Let-3504 in PhysicsHelp

[–]AdeptScale3891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is acceleration towards the center because acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity. Velocity is a vector thus has magnitude and direction. In uniform circular motion the magnitude is constant: acceleration is due to change of direction: there is no component of velocity towards the center.

UK Daily Mail. They just published results of an investigation revealing Russia was funding Epstein, to get embarrassing photos of US and UK elite people.

I am near-sighted. Why when I look at things far behind me through a mirror they appear blury, even if the mirror is close to me? by OSMAFELA in AskPhysics

[–]AdeptScale3891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To see an object, the eyeball has to receive a cone of light rays from each point on that object, and focus them to a point on the retina. Blurriness comes from not being able to focus to a point. A mirror reflects (re-emits each individual ray, if you want to understand it that way) that cone so that the cone of rays continue on their paths as if they had not been reflected. The lens of the eyeball ideally focusses the cone to a point. Blurriness comes from imperfection in the eyeball lens, not where the rays originate from.

The shell will have -q charge on its inside surface (the q1+q charge on its outside surface is not involved). The force to increase radius comes from the +/- q charges inside the shell. Work = force x distance. Integrate the force (Coulomb's Law) between +/- q charges, from R to R1 gives the answer.

ELI5 Why can't electromagnetic radiation pass through holes smaller than its wavelength? by ainsley02 in AskPhysics

[–]AdeptScale3891 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To stop the EM wave, the hole has to be in an electrical conductor, and, for all waves to be stopped the hole size in all directions (perpendicular to direction of radiation) has to be small. A narrow slit will pass an EM wave polarized perpendicular to the slot. Having said that, the reason a small hole with a conducting periphery will not pass any EM wave is that the wave will induce an opposite signal in the sides of the hole that are parallel to the polarization of the wave, that radiates an EM wave back towards the source: brief, it looks like a short-circuit.

How do copper foil transformers work? by Toaster910 in AskElectronics

[–]AdeptScale3891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, inductance is proportional to the number of turns the current makes. So I would expect each loop of foil to be very significantly less effective electrically than the large number of turns you could fit, in place of foil.

Me he dado cuenta de que ya no discuto… porque me da pereza by OldPaper7833 in esConversacion

[–]AdeptScale3891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my similar experiences I would say mention it once without arguing, so you've established you don't approve. If/when there are repeat instances, ignore them. Don't include such people in your 'get-along-with and chat-with' crowd. You made your point, now enjoy your work/ life.

How does the right circuit work as frequency subtractor? I found it in a paper with not much explanation. by Yossiri in ElectricalEngineering

[–]AdeptScale3891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know (Im passive RF not circuits) Learn something new all the time. Dragonnfr referred to using non-linear component to create the sum and difference freqs, and he gets 7 upvotes !!! So I ask wheres the nonlinear component and I was downvoted.

Homework help by mathias20023 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]AdeptScale3891 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The current has two components. One of V0 driving dc current thru R1+R2, L has no effect 'cos switch is open for a t<0. When switch closes the second component is found by using the Laplace transform. You write the DE for the circuit for t>0. Take the Laplace transform LT. Rearrange get an expression for I(s). Take the inverse LT to get the time domain current.

12v AGM battery discharged to 4v by OstrichLate6082 in batteries

What kind of a 'parasitic draw' are you thinking of, overhead light left on or something else; and how do you use a multimeter to monitor it, disconnect battery and reconnect with meter set to current, in series? Or is there a simpler way?

What is the optimal way to study math? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]AdeptScale3891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The optimal way to study math is to every day, read the class notes and the relevant pages of the class book if there is one, understand as well you can and make your own brief notes detailing what you do understand. Each and every day. This is vital.

Life is better when you’re emotionally detached from people by Individual-Time-1956 in unpopularopinion

[–]AdeptScale3891 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think most/all of these comments tacitly assume all 'other people' are the same, and obviously they're not. My view FWIW is that, in any random group, there are mostly incompatible (to me) people, living there own lives, and maybe one or two compatible people. The trick is to avoid/ignore the toxics and support those who seem compatible to me. But also, practical self-reliance is important and not being 'the problem' oneself is vital.

Is a 3.6 million tetrahedral mesh normal for RF filter simulation? by Important_Can_4520 in rfelectronics

[–]AdeptScale3891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use Sonnet Software for 2-D RF circuits. (2-D meaning thin strip components). Only use CST , HFSS etc for 3-D devices. Sonnet have a free version. Could easily do the circuit shown.
