A researcher studies an LR circuit comprised of a resistor (R) and an inductor (L) in series with a

Verification of Gauss's Law for Electric Fields

A sphere of radius $$R$$ has a charge density given by $$\rho(r) = \rho_0 \left(\frac{r}{R}\right)^2

Voltage Spike Analysis in Inductive Circuits

A voltage spike (back EMF) is observed when the current through an inductor is suddenly interrupted.
