General ⇒ equation number alignment problem

[psyder]

hi,this is my first time writing on this and my first time using latex which im using
for my masters dissertation.

As Im very new to this my maths equations are probably very badly put together,
however all of them have come out looking fine, apart from one. In this one I have the equation
and a small sentence with it and for some reason the equation numbering is moved and
now unaligned. Ive tried lots to rectify it without success. If anyone could help me i would be
really grateful.

Code: Select all

\begin{equation}\label{e:h1h2corr}
\ 20log_1_0\left[\frac{F1^2}{\left(F1^2-f^2\right)}\right] \\

\mbox{Where \emph{f} is the frequency at which the particular harmonic is located.}
\
\end{equation}

Like i said the code is probably badly written but so have the other ones been and there
hasnt been a problem

Hi psyder,

welcome to the board!
Use the text outside of the equation environment, in that case you won't need \mbox. Try this:

Code: Select all

\begin{equation}\label{e:h1h2corr}
20\log_{10}\left[\frac{F1^2}{\left(F1^2-f^2\right)}\right]
\end{equation}
where $f$ is the frequency at which the particular harmonic is located.

where I've made some additional small modifications.
