1. A controller on an electronic arcade game consists of a variable resistor connected across the plates of a 0.22 micro Farad capacitor. The capacitor is charged to 5.00V, then discharged through the resistor. The time for the potential difference across the plates to decrease to 0.800V is measured by a clock inside the game

The problem reads as: "The magnetic field permeating a region of space represents stored energy. This energy is often quantified in terms of its density (magnetic energy per unit volume) given by B^2/(2*u) where u=4*pi X 10^(-7). Suppose an "X2" flare occurs within a volume of 10^12 km3 over a sunspot pair initially permeate

Protons exit a high speed proton machine at a speed of 1.50 * 10^6 m/s. A device needs to stop the protons safely. Protons will embed themselves in a metal target, but protons traveling faster than 1.30 * 10^5 m/s emit dangerous x rays when they hit. The protons must be slowed down to an acceptable speed, then let them hit a
