Try this problem, useful for Physics Olympiad based on Constructing Parallel Plate Capacitor. The Problem: Constructing Parallel Plate Capacitor Suppose you are to construct a parallel plate capacitor of (1\mu F) by using paper sheets of thickness (0.05mm) as dielectric and a number of circular parallel metal foils connected alternately. If the dielectric constant of […]
Understanding the Infinitesimal Cheenta Notes in Mathematics Let's discuss a beautiful idea related to progress in mathematics and understanding the infinitesimal. Adding infinitely many positive quantities, you may end up having something finite. Greeks did not understand this very well. Archimedes had some ideas. Kerala school of mathematics under the leadership of Madhavacharya made […]
