    How Do Charge Distributions Affect a Spherical Dielectric Shell?

    On the r = a I would guess that we get a negative sign since we're having a unit vector a_r which goes outward from the origin. And since the normal to the surface when r = a is the -a_r I would guess that the negative sign when r = a is correct. But when r = b, the unit vector from P and a_r...

    How Do Charge Distributions Affect a Spherical Dielectric Shell?

    Homework Statement Consider a spherical dielectric shell so that ε = ε_0ε_r for a < r < b and ε = ε_0 for 0 < r < a. If a charge Q is placed at the center of the shell, find a) P for a < r < b b) ρ_pv for a < r b c) ρ_ps at r = a and r = b Homework Equations ρ_pv = -div(P) ρ_ps = P...

    Calculating Resultant Force at a Pivoted Rod | Uniform Rod in Vertical Plane

    Homework Statement A uniform rod of length 1.6 m and mass 20 kg is free to rotate about a frictionless pivot at one end in a vertical plane. The rod is released from rest in the horizontal position. The acceleration of gravity is 9.80 m/s2. Homework Equations What is the resultant...

    Two-dimensional Schrodinger equation

    Since the energy is not a vector, I can't threat the energies as vectors and then calculate a given speed for x and y.

    Two-dimensional Schrodinger equation

    Homework Statement An ice-hockey puck has the weight 0.170 kg. The ice-hockey rink is 30x60 m. If no players are on the ice, what speed does the puck have due to the quantum effects (ground state)? Homework Equations The wave-equation solution to the Schrodinger equation is ψ(x,y) =...

    How to Determine the Refractive Index of Glass Using Polarized Light?

    Ok, I will refer to "i" as incident and "r" as reflected. And then "p" as parallel to the incline plane and "s" perpendicular. Since we have that the max and min intensity has a ratio of 4.0, we have max when the Polaroid slit is 0 degrees from the wave inte the p direction, and min when it's...
