putting n=1,n=2 we get pi, and pi as the result so i generalised it for 'n'. thats the reason i asked for the solution because this is definitely an improper method.

pi ∫sin^2(nx)/sin^2(x) dx 0 I tried using mathematical induction and did arrive at the correct result but was wondering if a better method could be used to solve it?

even i had a problem with this while trying it using the energy method. could anyone please help me? ill upload a pic of my attempt at a solution if required.

Homework Statement Calculate the force acting on a dipole of dipole moment P due to a line charge of density λ at a distance r from it?? Homework Equations field due to a line charge= λ/2εr The Attempt at a Solution tried caculating force on each individual charge but i don't see...

so that means theyll never intersect at a singular,distinct point in space?

Field lines do not intersect because at their point of intersection,we would get two tangents indicating two directions of electric field at that point. Suppose the two filed lines JUST touch at a single point. wouldnt there be only a single tangent at the point??

im confused. first of all i don't know about the image charges method and secondly the potential is zero too right?? which can correctly lead me to a solution.

i think if the plates are grounded, a negative charge must appear on the plates to make the total potential=0(grounded) we can solve for both the plates separately(correct me if i am wrong). should i give this a try??

nope at a distance x from one of the plates. i think that the method of image charges can be used to get the answer i just don't know how to apply it nor does my school teacher have any clue about it.

its not a question from capacitance. from basic concepts of electrostatics.

Really sorry but in my problem statement i didnt mention that the charge Q is placed BETWEEN the two plates.

nope and did i forget to mention the charge Q is placed BETWEEN the capacitor plates.

i tried that too but since the field due to an infinitely long charged surface doesn't depend on the distance i don't see how this will be of help!

A charge Q is kept at a distance x from one of the plates of a parallel capacitor having plates d distance apart with cross section area A.The whole system is earthed.Find the value of induced charges on both the plates. I tried putting the sum of induced charges equal to Q and balancing...
