Hi Friends I am student of BsCs- 1st Semester,

I am facing problem to solve a question of physics. I have tried my best to solve it but I am fail, can anyone do it for me I will thank to him.

Here Is The Question

Find the force on a positive point charge q located a distance x from the end of a rod of length L with uniformly distributed positive charge Q. See Fig



This Question Is Taken From Physics Vol 2—Edition fifth by
David Haliday (university of pittsburg)
Robert Resnic

Hi urduworld! Welcome to PF! :smile:

(btw, never bump your questions in the first 24 hours … people are much more likely to answer a thread with 0 replies :wink:, and half PF's members are asleep now anyway! :zzz:)

Hint: divide the rod into slices of thickness dy and charge Qdy/L, find the force from each slice, and integrate from x to x + L …

what do you get? :smile:
 

Thread 'Direction of the magnetic field of an oscillating charge'

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
