    Finding Area with Double Integrals: What is the Approach for This Homework?

    Homework Statement Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution here is my approach, I take the whole area, which is π16 then subtract the unshaded region now to find the unshaded region's area, I use rectangular coordinates. my bounds are from -2 to 2 for x and the the top and bottom of...

    How does a dielectric affect the capacitance of a capacitor?

    whoops, for Ceq = C1 + C2 + C3... in parallel Ceq = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3... in series

    How does a dielectric affect the capacitance of a capacitor?

    in series, Q is constant through out. Parallel , V is constant through out.

    How does a dielectric affect the capacitance of a capacitor?

    Another question: Could someone explain this to me? Answer key says C. I thought in series, Ceq = C1 + C2 + C3... and in parallel Ceq = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3...

    How does a dielectric affect the capacitance of a capacitor?

    Homework Statement Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution for #14, I remember a battery maintains the potential therefore, V should be constant; dielectric increases charge on plates and increases capacitance but I couldn't find an option that matched. The answer key says "d" but I...

    Physics concept questions (electric field & potential diff.)

    If the field doesn't change, then V should decrease as d decreases. but why do we treat the plates as if they were infinitely long? say the plates are 1 meter long, each, would the field still remain the same?

    Physics concept questions (electric field & potential diff.)

    __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Here is how I picture this: using V=Ed, since V is constant, and the distance between the slab of metal and each plate is d/4, E should increase.

    Physics concept questions (electric field & potential diff.)

    #2) ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ #2a) the battery maintains the electric potential in each plate so the potential difference should remain the same. #2b) using V = Ed, if V is constant, d is decreased, E should increase...

    Physics concept questions (electric field & potential diff.)

    Homework Statement Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution 1) charges should remain the same since there is no path for them to go anyway. 2) Now, if the panels were of infinite length, I believe the electric field should be the same regardless of distance? But in this case, the panels...
