3D Quantum #Lecture 2: Orbital Angular Momentum Primer Definition, Commutation, etc
This #lecture is a primer for understanding the basics of angular momentum, the commutation relations and some other important information that will help to develop the eigenvalue of the momentum (squared) operator operating on the angular wavefunction. This is one step closer to *why* we are using a form of l(l+1) for the eigenvalues.

3D Quantum #Lecture 1: Solving the Schrodinger Equation for the Eigenfunctions (PART 1)
Переглядів 1027 годин тому
This #lecture is the *beginning* of deriving the eigenfunctions (wavefunctions) for the Schrodinger Equation in 3-D. We manipulate the PDE and get to the point of separating angular parts from radial parts. This will set up the foundation for the rest of the lectures, eventually concluding with determining the spherical harmonics, and the radial equation. #eigenstate #eigenfunction #TISE #Schro...
3D Quantum #Lecture 0: Concept Implications of Commutators, Canonical Coordinates, and Eigenstates
Переглядів 467 годин тому
This #lecture is the first lecture in the series. We briefly discuss the concepts that will be needed to found the work to determine how to analyze 3D phenomena in quantum mechanics. We discuss the importance of commutation, revisit Ehrenfest's Theorem and discuss what precision means in terms of eigenstates of the system. #eigenstate #eigenfunction #commutator #3d #quantum #commutator #commuta...
E&M: Electric Field Inside Outside a Long Solenoid with Angular Current
Переглядів 517 годин тому
This problem discusses how to determine the electric field inside and outside of a solenoid carrying an angular directed current. We determine the magnetic field in the QUASI-STATIC APPROXIMATION first, then we use Faraday's Law and magnetic flux to develop a relation for the electric field. #quasistatic #approximation #electric #electricfield #magneticflux #faraday #faradayslaw #induction #ele...
E&M: Current and Change in Charge Through Resistor Looped Around Solenoid
Переглядів 449 годин тому
In this video, we discuss how to determine the current through a wire with resistance looped around a solenoid with n turn - if the current in the solenoid is increasing at a constant rate. We also discuss the change in charge through the resistor when the current is held constant, and the solenoid is removed and reinserted in the opposite way. #solenoid #current #EMF #E&M #electrodynamics #tur...

This #lecture is more of a problem solving video that fully details how to use the principles of electrodynamics - such as electromotive force, induction and magnetic flux. This video has a square loop suspended a distance s above a LONG current-carrying wire. We determine the magnetic flux through the loop at s, and we determine the EMF induced under specific conditions. This video uses vector...

    Thanks for this video! For normalization of the state vector, we divide by the *square root* of the inner product right? I saw you square rooted the inner product in the next step but just wanted to be sure.

    • @rhPhysics
      @rhPhysics 9 днів тому

      yes, that is correct! To normalize the state you need to divide the state by the *square root* of the inner product of the state on itself: (<f|f>)^(1/2) for state |f>. The steps after are correct. please excuse the typo in the video

      correct! That is assuming both the incline *and* the pulley is frictionless. If there was friction on the pulley, we would have to include the torque due to friction in the net torque equation.
