In geometry, the conic constant (or Schwarzschild constant, after Karl Schwarzschild) is a quantity describing conic sections, and is represented by the ... more

The magnetic field in the volume of a long, thin loop of wire, wrapped around a metallic core (solenoid) when an electric current is passed through it, ... more

In general, an exponential function is one of an exponential form , where the base is “b” and the exponent is “x”. In general, the ... more

A Reuleaux triangle is a curve of constant width,( the separation of two parallel lines tangent to the curve is independent of their orientation), based ... more

An isobaric process is a thermodynamic process in which the pressure stays constant: ΔP = 0. The heat transferred to the system does work, but also changes ... more
