    Motion of a charge due to induced electric field

    It's a long time ago question, but i think it's worth answering it. First, let we examine the equation curlxE=-dB/dt Given the condition, which mean curlxE is in z direction with component larger then zero. Then we may express the algebraic identity of curl which we find dEy/dx-dEx/dy is...

    Find the period of radial oscillation through effective potentials

    Homework Statement Given circuit is a circle, force is a central force[/B] Ueff(r)=U(r)+L^2/2mr^2 Homework Equations the problem i find is, the angular momentum is a function of r however, the solution when differentiate the effective potential, just treat angular momentum as a constant. That's...

    Problem concerning about thermal physics

    Homework Statement A metal rod of length length L, linear coefficient of expansion a, is fixed at both ends to the walls. When the temperature is increased byΔT, the rod bends into a circular arc due to thermal expansion. 2 Relevant equations a)Find the radius of curvature R of the rod by...

    Increment of capacitance of conductor

    I notice there something wrong when i post this thread, therefore i shall rewrite it starting from The attempt at a solution Denote Co be the initial capacitance, C' be the final capacitance. Formula used: C=Q/V E=σ/ε0 First,Co Q/Vo, Vo=- ∫E.ds (range from 0->d) , thus the result is -σd/ε0 ...

    Finding electric potential of two concentric rings

    Thank you! I am reading the book Thank you! When i got to it i actually think of this short cut, it definitely saves lots of time, yet none of my reference told me about that, what a pity.

    Finding electric potential of two concentric rings

    Thank you for your reply. Up to this moment i can find all the electric field in various region, also, i had found the electric potential at the region r∈[b,infinity). However, i couldn't compute the electric potential of the next two region left

    Finding electric potential of two concentric rings

    Thank you for your reply. Idon't understand why the electric potential has to be a a constant, would you mind to offer mind some physical explanation of this?
