Electric Electric fields Fields Magnetic Strength

AI Thread Summary

To calculate the strength of the magnetic and electric fields from their energy densities, the relevant equations are derived from the formulas for energy density. The energy density of an electric field is given by the equation u_E = (1/2) * ε * E^2, where u_E is the energy density, ε is the permittivity of free space, and E is the electric field strength. For the magnetic field, the energy density is u_B = (1/2) * (B^2/μ), where u_B is the energy density, B is the magnetic field strength, and μ is the permeability of free space. By rearranging these equations, the strengths of the electric and magnetic fields can be calculated using the provided energy densities of 4 J/m3 and 0.2 J/m3, respectively. Understanding these equations is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

What equations do you know for the energy densities of electric fields?

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
