    Generalisation of terms in a series

    Hello. I'm not sure how the generalisation comes about (where I circle). I assume that r means the the rth derivative of f(x). If that's the case, as I plug 3 = r into this generalisation, the third derivative term should equal to (-1)^3x^7 /7!, but the third derivative term is -1x^3/3...

    How to picture a radial field around a 3d object?

    Hello! First off, for a), I am not too sure how to picture a radial field around a 3d object. I know that this spherical metal dome is basically a enlarged version of an atom, but since with problems on radial field around an atom, I don't have to consider its diameter, I'm not sure how the...

    B Problems regarding electrostatic forces in everyday levitation

    Hello! I'm reading this part of the A-level physics book and finding a few places that I couldn't wrap my head around. They are underlined. 1) When saying oxygen, is it saying that oxygen is the most abundant element in the shoe atoms? 2)I am not too sure why the force per atom is shared...

    I Why are field lines parallel in a uniform field?

    For a uniform field like this, I imagine the two plates that creates it are made of multiple atoms with charges, which are points sources that create radial fields. We know that radial fields don't have parallel fields lines, so how are parallel fields lines form when the field is made of...

    B How does polarisation in nature work?

    Why are lights reflecting off horizontal surfaces like the road, water, or snow horizontally polarized? How does the process happen?

    Why Does the Pattern Blur When I Approach in Young's Double-Slit Experiment?

    As I searched online an answer suggested that the blurry effect might be a speckle pattern. However, it still hasn't explained the reason why when my body come near the pattern gets blurry.
