Charge Definition and 1000 Threads

Why are there only two types of electric charge? I'm asking as a total layman in science. I've started to wonder about this the more I watch popular science videos about the Standard Model of particles physics and about matter and antimatter. In particular, the various types of subatomic...

The call out fee includes hourly rate which is 30euro Correct me if I'm wrong please, Thank

I am assuming the answer is NO. I realize that the electric field of any charged object has an energy density, but I was curious to know it that same field has it's own 'charge density' so to speak, and that it would have a small secondary electric field of it's own. This would imply that...

The problem of the interaction of a point charge with a dielectric plate of finite thickness implies the existence of an infinite series of image charges (see http://www.lorentzcenter.nl/lc/web/2011/466/problems/2/Sometani00.pdf). I introduce notations identical to those used in this work. The...

F = ma F = (6x10^-6) * 8 F = 4.8 * 10^-5 F = QBVsin(theta) F/(BVsin(theta) = Q (4.8 x 10^-5) / (5 x 10^-3) (4000) (sin(37)) = 3.98 x 10^-6 ~ 4 uc <---- THE RIGHT ANSWER IS -4 uc

E0=V/d = 100/0.1 =1000v/m In slab 1, E1=E0/k1=500v/m In slab 2, E2=E0/k2=250v/m Applying Gauss' Law to a box surface surrounding the interface with area equal to the plates we have (-E1+E2)*A = Q/epsilon_naught So charge density sigma = -250 epsilon_naught But answer given is...

My project is to create a circuit for a stroller that can store the mechanical work into electrical while moving around and with the push of a switch, use the electrically stored energy to assist the movement of the stroller. I’ve tried capacitors but it ended up not being enough voltage and I...

I) For the first part I used: ##V = - \int E ds = \int_a^c \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} Q /r^2 dr+ \int_c^{c+d} \frac{1}{k} \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} Q /r^2 dr + \int_{c+d}^b \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} Q /r^2 dr ## And by using ##C = Q/V## We get an answer which is somehow large for writing here...

For the b following: kQ/R=kq/L L=πR kQ/R=kq/πR πQ=q

I'm working through Griffiths EM 3rd ed. in section 2.4.2 (point charge distribution) and 2.4.3 (continuous charge distribution). I understand from the section on point charge distributions that when we add up all the work (excluding the work necessary in creating the charge itself), one clever...

I know how the answer is C, since E=F/q and F=ma=mg. However, I am a bit confused as to why my other method doesn't work. I thought that since the droplets are falling at a constant velocity, there is not net force, so according to E=F/q the electric field must be zero then? This seems like a...

Hello, Let's imagine we have an infinite plane (or large enough compared to the region of interest and measurements) pierced in normal direction by magnetic field B which is uniformly distributed but time varying. For the sake of simplicity we'll presume the magnetic induction is linearly (and...

Two identical conducting spheres A and B carry equal charge. They are separated by a distance much larger than their diameters. A third identical conducting sphere C is uncharged. Sphere C isfirst touched to A, then to B, and finally removed. As a result, the electrostatic force between A and B...

Double integration maybe?? I calculated potential due to shell on plate's center but not on other points on it's surface.

Why is angular momentum conserved for a charge in an electric field?

My Textbook says this is the formula to find energy values for electron shells: $$E_{mol of electrons} = \frac{-1312kJ}{n^2}$$ where $n$ is in electron shell number But when we divide by 1 mol to get the energy value for each electron we get $$E_{electron} = \frac{-2.178 \cdot 10^{-18}}{n^2}...

Where should I start?

Hello, there are a couple things about magnetism that I do not understand. 1. Why didn't we define the magnetic field to be in the directions of the force? This isn't really a technical question, I am just more curious about why it is this way. The way I was thinking of it, the math seems to...

I'm trying to get the Electric Field of a Thin spherical shell along $$ \hat z $$ axis. In this problem I've got a charge/area density: σ(θ)=σ0⋅cos(θ)σ(θ)=σ0⋅cos(θ). θ∈[0,π]θ∈[0,π] (theta is the polar angle)Can you please help me with how can I know the area element? thanks.

Hi. In a current carrying conductor because of special relativity amount of protons and electrons differ so we get an electric field or as we call it magnetic field. So if magnetic field is just an electric field how is it that the charge has to move so that magnetic field would exert a force on...

We all know a moving charge generates a magnetic field. A moving charge also generates a displacement current ∂E/∂t. Is the magnetic field generated entirely due to the presence of the displacement current, or is there an independent, separate effect which contributes to the magnetic field?

Hej Guys, Did anyone see anywhere an equation to this? If nothing else then a loading time formula for solenoid would do. Thank you!

Given a representation of a Lie Group, is there a equivalence between possible electric charges and projections of the roots? For instance, in the standard model Q is a sum of hypercharge Y plus SU(2) charge T, but both Y and T are projectors in root space, and so a linear combination is. But I...
