Electric Field And Electro static potential
Interesting thing, it is constant for a particular distance surface from the charge. What ever way we reach to that point the Electrostatic potential will be constant.
Electrostatic potential depends only on the radial distance from the charge.So depends only on one quantity
And from ELECTROSTATIC POTENTIAL we can determine the value of E which is vector (depending 3 components x,y,z)
These calculations and derivation I have studied in Btech days itself.But I didn't get the advantage of these ELETROSTATIC potential.

ascentengineers...
ascentengineers -----> Very interesting to see their work( http://ascentengineers.org/ ) and the way they are generating their business. I believe that they can be succeed in their business with electronics and free software . Because the market for these two are growing very fast in kerala. They found out their first customers as the college students. Giving consultancy to them .... is really a business.
I find that these ascentengineers are very young. And the courage they taking is really amazing.
computer graphics is not as simple as I expected

GATE EC2003 question
Number of Mesh = B - N + 1 where B = No of Branches
N = number of Nodes
Node equation = N - 1
where N = number of Nodes
here B = 7 , N = 4
so minium number of equation need to analyze the circuit is = N - 1 = 3
Qu(2):
The Laplace transform of of i(t) is given by
I(s) = 2 / s(1+s)
As t --> infinity, The value of i( t) tends to
Ans:
Inverse of I(s) ,
I(s) = 2/s -2/(1+s)
i(t) = 2 -2(e^-t) because L(1) = 1/s and L(e^-t .1) = 1/(S+1)
As t --> infinity ,
==> i(t) = 2 -2/(e^infinity)
==> i(t) = 2 - 2/infinity
== > i(t) = 2 because 2/infinity is zero
This is the answer I got. I am not sure about 2/infinity . ,,...
i don't know these answers are correct or not .. I didn't get key for GATE these question.

why derivatives ?
To find an approximation of one can do as follows.
- Consider the function Hence, the problem is reduced to finding the value of f(25).
- We have
- According to linear approximation
- The result, 2.926, lies fairly close to the actual value 2.924…
