Problem 1: Electric Field, Coulomb Force, and Potential Energy
(a) Diagram of Electric Field Lines
Question:
Two point charges are located in a plane rectangular coordinate system:
- q1 = 10 nC is at (x=0, y=0).
- q2 = 10 nC is at (x=20 cm, y=0).
Draw a diagram of the electric field lines for these two charges.
Solution:
Since both charges are positive, their electric field lines radiate outward. The field lines repel each other in the space between the charges, bending outward. The key features of the diagram
Understanding Waves and Telecommunications: Radio, Phone & More
Waves and Communications
Waves are transmitted through various communication systems (radio, or our voice via telephony). A wave is a traveling space perturbation without the transport of matter, but with the transport of energy.
Features of Waves
- Period (T): The time it takes for one complete vibration.
- Frequency (f): The number of vibrations per second, equal to the inverse of the period: f = 1/T. Measured in s-1, also known as Hertz (Hz).
- Wavelength (λ): The distance between two consecutive peaks
Englishness: Orwell vs. Kureishi on British Identity
Englishness in Orwell’s England Your England and Kureishi’s The Buddha of Suburbia
Englishness can be defined as “what is it to be British?” This term references several features that allow us to determine what it takes to be British.
Both Orwell and Kureishi deal with the concept of Englishness. Orwell discusses what it means to be British before World War II, while Kureishi explores British identity after the war.
Orwell writes about two main issues that Hanif Kureishi later challenges:
Uniformity

Understanding Heat and Temperature
A body is a limited portion of matter, and matter is formed by molecules. The motion of these molecules varies according to the state of aggregation of matter.
- In solids, the molecules move, vibrating around a fixed point.
- In liquids, the molecules move more freely.
- In gases, the molecules move randomly and at high speeds.
Molecular Theory: This theory explains the movement of molecules. When molecules move faster, they possess greater energy. Therefore, an increase

Understanding Cartographic Data
Datum Mapping
Datum mapping, or cartographic data, serves as the benchmark for measuring coordinates within a specific land area. It’s important to note that this measurement isn’t extrapolated to the entire surface. Each datum comprises an ellipsoid and a fundamental point.
Time Zones and UTM Projections
Time zones are divided into 6° longitude sections. UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) projections are used to minimize distortions in the projected areas. The Earth
