Cations.

By
I have no interesting or fascinating idea or theory to tell you this morning. I also have no good questions.

Unless someone can help with:

Consider a uniformly charged ring in the xy plane, centered at the origin. The ring has radius a and positive charge q distributed evenly along its circumference. What is the magnitude of the electric field along the positive z axis?
E(z) =k\frac{qz}{\left(z^{2}+a^{2}\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}

Imagine a small metal ball of mass m and negative charge -q_0. The ball is released from rest at the point (0, 0, d) and constrained to move along the z axis, with no damping. If 0 < d \ll a, what will be the ball's subsequent trajectory? = oscillating along the z axis between z = d and z = -d

The ball will oscillate along the z axis between z=d and z=-d in simple harmonic motion. What will be the angular frequency omega of these oscillations? Use the approximation d \ll a to simplify your calculation; that is, assume that d^2+a^2 \approx a^2. This is the one I'm having problems with. The closest I've gotten is:


w=


So yeah thats the meat and bones of my post this morning. More to come later maybe.

P.S. Cations are not part of the problem :p

Ah, I love that stuff. It makes me want to sit down and figure out the answer to your homework, just for fun.

Guildless.

By
Me and Wulfa are now guildless. This came as kinda a shock and with no communication from the deciding party. I'm currently looking for a guild for us. We are not "raiders" and will never be. We do research our gear and fights and in general our classes. We are looking for a guild that we can be a part of, chat with, and not be expected to raid or be on specific times. I think that means we're looking for a "social" guild. We are primarily alliance but once finances get squared away(aka my bonus arrives) we could possibly convert to horde. If anyone knows of any guilds that they would recommend please let us know.

On being Horde.

By
Obviously we no longer play Horde side. Wulfa has a 70, 45, 32 and numerous other alliance alts now. I've got a 63, 46, 20, 16, 11, 8, 8 Alliance side(all my alliance alts are new since we moved over to Kael'thas, wulfa's playing two characters that already existed before our horde characters were started). But we are two and a half ORCS. Not two and a half random alliance characters. This makes it hard sometimes when I see links to my site or I see a horde shaman etc. It is kind of like going back to your home town and seeing people you used to know and they ask you how your ex-girlfriend is doing. They don't know you split up. You don't really want to talk about it. Etc. Sometimes I think fondly about getting on my Horde shaman and leveling a bit. Nothing ever comes of it. And even less will in the future as I get further and further away from wanting to play those toons. There are things I like on the Alliance side. I like the Dreanai. A lot. Even th...
