Thanks for your assistance. I do not think the pressure at the bottom of tank A and tank B are the same. I do recognize that water will flow from tank A to tank B. I am troubled with why the equation (as I've tried to apply it) provides a contradiction in an otherwise seemingly simple...

Suppose there are two tanks, tank A and tank B, of equal size and both are very large. Suppose the bottom of tank A is at an elevation that is higher than the top of tank B. Suppose there is a very small tube relative to the size of the tanks that connects the bottom of tank A to the bottom of...

True that. Suppose it is made of non-conducting material such that the charge is uniformly distributed.

Okay, let's simplify. Suppose the cylinder is of finite length, and the point is inside the cylinder midway between the two ends. The ends are open. The charge is uniform and kept constant. The cylinder is made of conducting material.

Thanks, but i don't understand why the E-field is constant? I imagine if the point in consideration was very near one of the plates then the E-field would be stronger there as the electric field is inversely proportional to distance. E = kQ/r. For instance, "Is the electric field...

Hello, Does anyone know of (or have a link to) an equation for the electric field at any point inside a a hollow cylinder shell of finite length? thanks,

Suppose there was a voltage difference between two charged plates, is the electric field constant at all points between these plates?

Homework Statement "Show how conservation of energy (with only gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy) can be gotten from Newton's Laws. This was the question that was asked of me, and sorry for the wording not being terribly precise. Homework Equations I am not exactly...
