How do I find the half-life of radioactive isotope?

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time taken for half of the atoms in a given sample of the isotope to decay. Radioactivity is random and so, half-life is the average time taken for a large numbe...

Show Maxwell's equations in free space satisfy the wave equation

Maxwell's equations in free space: ∇ . E = 0 ∇ x E = - ∂ B/ ∂ t ∇ . B = 0 ∇ x B = (1/c 2 )( ∂E / ∂ t) The wave equation: ∇ 2 U = (1/c 2 ) ( ∂ 2 U / ∂ t 2 ) If we take the curl of ∇ x E , we get ∇ x( ∇ x E ) ...

Derive I = nAVe

Over 1 second, electrons with drift velocity V travel through a wire of cross sectional area A. Distance Vt (t = 1) multiplied by area A gives a volume AV. This volume multiplied by the electron density of t...
