    Physics interests me, what are my options?

    Hi, I am Rithwik Mohanty and I currently go to Shelton High School. I possess a profound passion for the field of physics. More specifically I am interested in the modern aspects of physics. For example, some things that interest me are the search for dark matter and particle physics. I like to keep up…

  • Patriarchy

    Most people out there would misunderstand the word patriarchy. They take it to mean: fatherly-rule or “through rule of the son from the father”.

    Example 5.7; Application of Ampere’s law.

    The following problem is an interesting application of Ampere’s law apart from usual applications found in honors syllabus (eg infinite straight conductor, Solenoid and Torroid). This is to be found the excellent book by Griffith on Electrodynamics.  Find the magnetic field of an infinite uniform surface current K (vect) = K i-cap, flowing over the…

  • Why light would curve under gravity?

    Everyone was thinking in terms of physics (i.e. force). Einstein knew one part of that is maths, pure maths. Force is physics because of mass. But acceleration is geometry, its the shape of your trajectory and its maths. Imagine a pipe which is horizontally fitted across a wall. Now water jet is flowing through it,…
