Summary:: I try to find the resultant force on "q". I think I have to find the value of Q, but I'm not sure. I Know F1 = k|q * 2Q| / 3² and F2 = k|q * Q| / 2² Hi, this is my first post on this forum I hope I posted in the right section. I try to find the resultant force on "q". I think I...

The load system formed by the point load and the load distribution generates two regions in space corresponding to r<1m and r>1m, i.e. inside and outside the sphere. Given the symmetry of the distribution, by means of the Gaussian theorem we can find the modulus of the field at a distance r from...

Note that the solution is 5625 V/m in z direction which is found easier using Gauss' law, but I want to find the same result using Coulombs law for confirmation. Lets give the radius 0.04 the variable a = 0.04m. ##\rho## is the charge distribution distributed evenly on the surface of the...

My attempt: I know from Gauss' law in dielectric ##\nabla .D = ρ_f## where ##D = ε_0E + P##, so as ##ρ_f = 0## (as there is no free charge in the sphere) => ##\nabla .D = 0## => ##ε_0\nabla .E = \nabla .P## from this I get ##E = \frac {-kr^2 \hat r} {ε_0}## But, I know that for a uniformly...

Hello, everyone. Does anyone know how much steam is produced by an electric arc furnace in a set amount of time? I have not been able to find any information on this despite how much water is no doubt used to cool the electric arc furnace. Can anyone help?

Can someone please tell me to find R of this electric circuit? Please tell me the step-by-step. I have many problems of electric circuit like this. If you show me one, perhaps I can solve the rest of them.

This is not really homework, but I'm having trouble understanding it intuitively. I came across this when learning about the space charge layer of a diode. The solution I know simply uses the 1D form of Gauss's law: ##\vec{\nabla} \cdot \vec{E}## = ##\dfrac{\rho}{\epsilon_0}## becomes...

I first tried to use the Gauss' law equation E.A = q/ε0 to find the total charge enclosed. The answer came out to be q(enclosed) = 4πqε0e^(-4r). So for r approaching infinity, q(enclosed) approached 0. Next, I tried the equation ∇·E = ρ/ε0, calculated rho to be -4qε0e^(-4r)/r^2 and total...

The first time I saw this question I had no idea how to do it (as you can see in the figure, I lost a lot of points :s) because I was confused on how to even approach it with area of the slab from all sides being infinity. Right? That's problematic, no? Today, I just tried the problem again for...

a) since the eletric field is perpendicular to the inicial velocity, the x component is constant, hence Vf.cos45=Vo. This gives Vf=0,6√2.C b) Ei=γi.Eo , γi=5/4 , Ef=γf.Eo , γf=5/(2√7) Finally, Ei+e.E.d=Ef. Apparently this is incorrect, why??

dv/dt is the acceleration, so I thought I could find the acceleration from F = qE = ma = dp/dt. But this is a relativistic case, so the proper acceleration is a = F/mγ3, where v in the gamma is the v of the electron and F = eE. However, I'm not sure if this is correct, because the constant τ...

The equation that we saw in class is for a continuous charge distribution, I think that for this exercise I need to treat the system as a discrete charge distribution but I'm not sure. Also, I don't know how I can calculate the intensity of the electric field needed to move this charge.

I have been thinking about electric cars from an engineering point of view. I came to the conclusion that they are not worth it, for a number of reasons I will list below. What do you guys think? 1) Energy to charge the batteries must come from somewhere. If the source of the energy is nuclear...

If a charge was placed inside an electric field, where the electric field was equal to zero, what effect would the charge have?

First, I got rid of amperemeters with 0 values. These are 9. 11 and 12. Amperemeter 4 will show the maximum value of electric current as it is placed directly between E and F. But how to know its value? Will it be 18 mA? I doubt because 18 mA is not said to be the maximum value. All other...

Thus I assume that one slab has positive charge Q1 and the other slab has negative charge Q2 = -Q1 There are 4 cases for the electric field: 1. x <= -a 2. -a <= x <= 0 3. 0 <= x <= a 4. a <= x The general case: Charge Density ##\rho = \frac {Q} {V}## Flux of E ##\phi_e = \oint \vec E \cdot d...

Hi, been a while since I last asked here something. I am restudying electrostatics right now, and I am facing difficulties in the following question: My attempt: I tried to use Gauss' law, what I got is the equation in the capture but that doesn't lead me anywhere as I am unable to find a...

I begin by calculating the flux to be the flux of the cylinders lateral surface, which equals E*2*pi*p*h (p is the radius) The other two surfaces have E ortogonal to dA, so their flux is 0. Using Gauss law together with the calculated flux above, I get Flux = Q/e Flux = E*2*pi*p*h Solve for E...

Since E_i=0 for the ground state, and $$E_f=\frac{(\hbar)^2l(l+1)}{2I}$$, $$w_{fi}=\frac{E_f-E_i}{\hbar}=\frac{(\hbar)l(l+1)}{2I}$$. So, $$d_f(\infty)=\frac{i}{\hbar}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}<f|E_od_z|0>e^{\frac{i\hbar l(l+1)t}{2I}+\frac{t}{\tau}}dt$$ My question is in regards to...

Not a homework. Just self-studying electromagnetism. I am stuck at understanding the very beginning of the solution steps in this example: The E as given in the solution is the field away from a long straight line with charge Lambda. That's clearly not the current configuration. E should...

Since there is no charge inside the cone, the total flux through its surface is zero, hence Ø(lateral surface)+∅(base surface)=0. But ∅(base surface)=E.πR².cosΩ, because electric Field is homogenous. But by the figure, Ω is just arctg(h/R). So Ø(lateral surface)=-E.π.R².R/√(R²+h²). This is not...

Hi! I need help with this problem. I tried to solve it by saying that it would be the same as the field of a the spherical shell alone plus the field of a point charge -q at A or B. For the field of the spherical shell I got ##E_1=\frac{q}{a\pi\epsilon_0 R^2}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}## and for...

This is a fun one, sort of! I am working on a singing saw that can be amplified with a regular magnetic pick up, from an electric guitar. I made a blade from laser cut1095 blue tempered spring steel (0.042" thick). It sounded great, but after a few months of service, the blade cracked. What is a...

Alright, to start off: I'm not even sure how this works in the first place. What I do understand is that if they carry current in the opposite direction, using right-hand grip rule, the magnetic field between them will be the same (into the page). Hence using the left-hand rule, I can deduce...

Hi! I need help with this problem. I tried to do it the way you can see in the picture. I then has this: ##dE_z=dE\cdot \cos\theta## thus ##dE_z=\frac{\sigma dA}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\cos\theta=\frac{\sigma 2\pi L^2\sin\theta d\theta}{4\pi\epsilon_0 L^2}\cos\theta##. Then I integrated and ended up...

Hi! I need help with this problem. I tried to solve it like this: First I calculated the electric field of each ring: Thus the electric field at a point that is at a distance z from the ring is ##E=\frac{Qz}{4\pi\epsilon_0(z^2+r^2)^{3/2}}##, Thuss for the upper ring, the electric field would be...

Hi! My main problem is that I don't understand what the problem is telling me. What does it mean that the surface is a flast disc bounded by the circle? Is the Gauss surface the disc? Does that mean that inside the circle in the figure, there is a disc? Can you give me some guidance on how to...

Would this also be correct? Or is there something wrong with it? I appreciate all your responses! Snarlie

I was looking at a sphere that has a positive point charge at the center of a sphere with radius R. Now, I understand that the electric field is pointing outwards (in the direction of dA), so $$d\phi = EdA$$ However, I am told that since the magnitude electrical field is the same because the...

I have no idea how to approach the problem using Gauss's Law. I found the electric field using superposition, and it was incorrect. I am assuming you treat the wire as a continuous electric field, and then also treat the pipe as a continuous electric field. I solved for this using...
