This discussion from Reddit explores solving physics homework problems involving the calculation of the Electric Field and Electric Potential. It highlights effective problem-solving strategies, key ...

Water has always responded well to sunlight, evaporating faster under the sun than when heated by other energy sources. For ...

Superfluid helium reveals a manageable analog to the Schwinger effect. It deepens understanding of vortices and quantum ...

An electric charge (like a proton) creates an electric field in the region around it. This field points away from positive charges and decreases in strength as it gets farther away from the charge.

To put one of physicists’ most important theories to the test, scientists go to extremes. Extremely strong electromagnetic fields, that is. The theory of quantum electrodynamics, which describes ...

Lightning has captivated scientists for centuries, but despite extensive research, the precise atmospheric conditions that trigger a lightning strike within thunderclouds have remained a profound ...

Researchers in China have shown that applying strain to a composite material using an electric field induces a large and reversible caloric effect. This novel way of enhancing the caloric effect ...
