Diagram to show static electricity

AI Thread Summary
A simple diagram illustrating static electricity in a photocopier should include the toner drum, which plays a crucial role in the process. The diagram should depict how static charges attract the black toner to specific areas on the paper, ensuring accurate image placement. It is important to represent the sequence of events clearly to enhance understanding. Visual aids can significantly simplify the explanation of this process. A well-structured diagram will effectively convey the principles of static electricity in photocopying.

static electricity diagram

Hello! I am new here!
I need your help...
How would I draw a simple diagram to show how static electricity is made use of in a photocopier to position the black toner where is needed.
It sounds a litte bit tricky and I think how it would looks like.
Thanks in Advance

It's a fairly simple process overall to produce quality images and it's easier to understand when shown in the right sequence as this link does.

Thread 'Maxwell stress tensor'

This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...

Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'

Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
