The point-contact diode configuration is examined and the field equations are derived in terms of the oblate spheroidal coordinates. It is shown that this is the natural coordinate system for such an ...

In the treatment given, a circular, single-domain, thin film is represented by a very flat oblate spheroid. The field distribution outside the spheroid is found by assuming that the magnetic ...

On the other hand, it lias been pointed out that there are very few nebulm of the oblate spheroidal form, such as the hypothesis of Laplace assumed, to be met with in the sky. “Such nebulae as ...

Why do people believe the flat Earth theory and is it even worth debating? Paul M. Sutter is an astrophysicist at SUNY Stony Brook and the Flatiron Institute, host of Ask a Spaceman and Space ...
