calculate the velocity of a particle at a certain point in an arbitrary potential given its initial conditions?

Using conservation of energy i.e calculating the total kinetic and potential energy at a trivial point, then solving for the velocity at the point in question by knowing the potential energy of the partic...

What is the difference between gravitational potential energy and gravitational field strength?

Gravitational Potential Energy is the work done in moving a mass from infinity to a point in a gravitational field. On the other hand, Gravitational Field Strength is the force exerted per unit mass on a ...

An electron is trapped within a square well potential of width 10 nm. What would be the wavelength of the photon emitted when an electron moves from the first energy level to the ground level.

Use energy difference between ground and first level to find E1-E0. Energy of the electron a nth energy level is found using En = (n^2pi^2hbar^2)/2mL^2Where n is the energy level plus 1, pi and h...

Explain why increase in current results in higher temperature of the wire.

Current is a measure of the rate of change of charged electrons going through the wire. Therefore, when the current increases more electrons are passing through the wire in a unit time. Thus, their averag...
