Hmmm maybe I'm not far enough into physics for this because I got the right answer without adjusting for this dipole situation.

I looked through this forum post for an answer to my problem. It gave me enough insight to try and come to some conclusions but I'm still confused on some parts here and there about how I got my final answer. 1. Homework Statement A uniformly charged, straight filament 7.70 m in length has a...

on second thought for #1, there should be a plot which tells me that right is positive if I'm going in the positive X direction.

1. There's a picture of Electric Field lines going down. Now between these electric field lines (affected by them) are points A and B at differing heights and positions. My question is, how does potential change as you go up/down and left/right? I would like to think that going down means you're...

Thanks @Doc Al !

Then does that apply to just V as well? And thanks for the quick response! :)

What I Think I Understand: ΔV = Ed (d being dstance) and that V = kq/r please correct me if I'm misunderstanding those. What I need to know: When E = 0, what happens to the electric potential? and vice versa. Me Working it out: So if i use the first equation up here, If E = 0, then electric...

thanks!

I enjoy physics but deciding what calculations to do in certain situations is my limiting factor. It doesn't help that many problems can be done in different ways depending on what information is provided. I'm trying to transfer to my state's school for computer science and really need an A in...
