    The Electric Field of a Cylindrical Capacitor?

    I am making a coaxial cylindrical capacitor with a dielectric constant of roughly 87.9 The cylinders are stainless steel tubing about .1 meter long, concentrically spaced approximately 1 mm apart (as of right now. depending on what kind of results I get from this calculation, the spacing...

    The Electric Field of a Cylindrical Capacitor?

    Still very lost. When I looked at Gauss's law, I gathered that the elctric flux \phi is equal to E0 *(2*\pi*LR3/r2 And I also found that the Electric field of a long charge wire is equal to E = \lambda/2*\pi*\epsilon0Lr ? I'm not sure how to use Gauss's law here. From my...

    Period of an electric dipole rotating in an external electric field

    It's looks very close to being right. For small angle theta, (alpha, or angular acceleration) = p*E/I which is what you have. Not sure if I understand the question, but I think you will find this is true: T(period in seconds) = 2*Pi*SQRT(I(dipole moment of inertia)/p(dipole charge...

    The Electric Field of a Cylindrical Capacitor?

    1. How do we calculate the electric field of a Coaxial Cylindrical Capacitor?? That is one question, the other is: Is the field strength E the same at all locations of a uniform electric field at any point between the plates or electrodes of a parallel plate capacitor, and or a cylindircal...

    Find a relationship between C & E

    I did come up with something else... Taking the Capacitance of charged coaxial cylinders to be 2*Pi* (Epsilon Naut) * L (length of the capacitor) ? ln(b/a), where Epsilon Naut= 8.85E-12 L = .1 meters b= radius of outer electrode = 3.81 cm and a = radius of inner electrode = 1.91...

    Find a relationship between C & E

    Homework Statement Given a coaxial cylindrical capacitor with a dialectric constant of 87.9, what field strength is needed to oscillate a dipole within the field at 175,000 hz...? What dimensions would the capacitor have in order to produce the field strength needed for that oscillation...
