Hi there, I'm trying to design an ion beam source, but having some issues with the thermodynamics of it. I'm no expert in thermodynamics, but I do understand some. I'm trying to find an equation which I can use to find the amount of energy I need to put into a set mass of a set material in order...

alright, makes sense. Thank you.

See above comments, and the field in the return portion is significantly mitigated.

Specifically, note how the equipotential lines are much less dense outside of the capacitor. (Sorry about the rapid edits and replies, Ⅰ just keep thinking of things) 😂

I modified my last statement, look at the excerpts from the Phet simulation. Basically, you're "helped" by the other plate by 2 V/m, with 2 V/m pulling before it reaches the first plate, and 2 V/m pushing after it leaves the second one.

In theory there should be minimal charge on the outside. For an explanation see this Quora article. If the plates didn't affect the field on the outside of the other one, yes all energy would be lost as the particle travels to a point about half the width of the capacitor away from the exit...

Anti-matter in theory is the best form of energy storage, however its like trying to blow up a balloon made of wool: it doesn't store easily, not to mention the fact that it generally releases light, which isn't great for propulsion.

Well, I'd have to imagine that since an inverse function is simply another function it should hold that rules for normal functions hold for inverse functions. I'd say yes then.

I was considering writing up a triple integral which describes the electric field but from what I remember the equation for a finite plane isn't simplify-able , and wouldn't result in a very useful answer. I have seen quite a few posts regarding conservation of energy within a capacitor, similar...

A while back I thought of an issue with parallel charged plates. Imagine this: a set of opposite charged resistive plates with holes in the center. In theory, there is a finite amount of energy required to push a positive charged particle through the hole in the positive plate (in theory it...

Well I certainly try. Thank you.

It most certainly is 😂 thank you

Hi, I’m Harper Chisari, a high school student from Pennsylvania. Officially, Ⅰ have only finished Electricity and Magnetism and Mechanics (at a high school level) and Multivariable Calculus, but Ⅰ have also studied Linear Algebea and Differential Equations through edx, as well as Intro to...
