Charges, Resistance & Electrical Current, Wavelength

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around three physics questions related to electrical charges, resistance, and light interference. The first question seeks to determine the line profile of zero potential between two charges, +q and -2q, separated by a distance of 6a. The second question involves deriving expressions for the resistance Rx and electric current I in a sliding metal bar setup within a magnetic field. The third question focuses on the interference pattern created by two mirrors and the conditions for the first maximum of light from a monochromatic source. Participants are encouraged to provide detailed solutions and explanations for each problem.

I am having difficulty with three questions, can anyone help me. I would appreciate it.

Here are the questions,

1. If distance between two charges +q and -2q is 6a, what is profile of the line formed by the points of zero potential?

2. A metal bar of length I and resistance R slides with no friction but with ideal electrical contact along supporting rails of negligible resistance perpendicular to the uniform magnetic field B. During time t bars covers a distance d. Resistors R0 and Rx are connected to the rails as shown in the figure. Resistor Rx is such that the power released across segment ab does not depend on the key position. Derive expressions for
a) Resistance Rx
b) Electric current I for open and closed key

3. Two mirrors are placed together as shown in the figure. What is profile of the line an object and its two images lie on? If an object is a source of monochromatic light of wavelength λ, define an expression describing the condition of the first maximum due to two images interference.


I would appreciate it if anyone knows, that they can help me out.

Thank you.

You will have to show what you have done so far. eg. in ques. 1, give one point where potential is 0 (what does 0 potential mean?).

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
