    Solving Diagonal Dielectric Potential Difference

    Hi guys, If you have a parallel plate capacitor and then u insert two insulaters in such a way that it is diagonal( as shown in the attachment) how would we find the potential difference and field inside the capacitor? Attempt: I was thinking that the area would be the area of two...

    Gauss' Law symmetry of charge distribution

    hey thanks a lot I understand what you're saying but what I essentially don't understand is generally what is the symmetry of charge? like you mention how we shouldn't choose spherical Gaussian surface for calc. of infinite line of charge. but I don't understand how charge distribution has...

    Gauss' Law symmetry of charge distribution

    This is a general question, I was reading my textbook and this statement confuses me: "The symmetry of the electric field must match the symmetry of the charge distribution" this is said regarding symmetry in relation to GAuss' law. I do not understand what they mean by symmetry of charge...

    Zero accerlation for spacewalking astronaut and sattelite?

    [b]1. An 8- kg spacewalking astronaut pushes off a 640 kg satellite, exerting 100N force for the 0.5s it takes to straighten his arms. How far apart are they after 1 minute? Homework Equations [b]3. So, I calculated the the accelration of the spaceman and the satelite during...
