Chapter 7.6, Problem 7.6GI
The figure shows the potential energy associated with an electron in a microelectronic device. From among the labeled points, find (1) the point where the force on the electron is greatest, (2) the right most position possible if the electron has total energy E1, (3) the leftmost position possible if the electron has total energy E2 and starts out to the right of D, (4) a point where the force on the electron is zero, and (5) a point where the force on the electron points to the left. In some cases there may be more than one answer.

What All equations of Ountum physics?
Please rewrite the rules of Quantum mechanics?
Suppose there are two transformers between your house and the high-voltage transmission line
that distributes the power. In addition, assume your house is the only one using electric power. At
a substation the primary of a step-down transformer (turns ratio = 1:23) receives the voltage
from the high-voltage transmission line. Because of your usage, a current of 51.1 mA exists in the
primary of the transformer. The secondary is connected to the primary of another step-down
transformer (turns ratio = 1:36) somewhere near your house, perhaps up on a telephone pole.
The secondary of this transformer delivers a 240-V emf to your house. How much power is your
house using? Remember that the current and voltage given in this problem are rms values.
