AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the electric field of a uniformly charged non-conducting cylinder and its surrounding concentric tube, based on different radial distances from the center. Participants emphasize the importance of applying Gauss's law to derive the electric field in specified regions: inside the cylinder, between the cylinders, and outside the outer cylinder. A request for clarification on the user's current understanding and where they are struggling is made, highlighting the need for an initial attempt at the problem. The conversation encourages active participation and problem-solving. Understanding the application of Gauss's law is crucial for solving this physics question.

Hello, people, it would be great if you can answer this particular physics question.

A very long solid non conducting cylinder Radius R is uniformly charged with a Volume charge density. It is surrounded by a concentric cylinder tube of inner radius R3 as shown in Figure, and it also carries a uniform volume charge density?

Determine the electric field as a function of the distance r from the center of the Cylinder for :

a) 0<r<R1
b) R1<r<R2
c)R2<r<R3
d)R3<r

Hi and welcome to PF.
You have to show some attempt in order to get help. Where are you stuck exactly? Do you know Gauss's law?

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
