AI Thread Summary
In an LC circuit, when a capacitor is at T/4, it does not mean that all electrons have left the capacitor; rather, there is an equal quantity of electrons on both plates, resulting in a zero net charge. The oscillation of energy between the inductor and capacitor causes the charge to vary over time, but electrons remain present on both plates. If all electrons were to leave a block of material, it would result in a positively charged state, significantly altering its electrical properties and behavior. The discussion highlights the fundamental principles of charge distribution in capacitors and the implications of electron movement in materials. Understanding these concepts is crucial for analyzing LC circuits and their applications.

Hello. My question is:
When a capacitor in LC circuit is out of charge (T/4) does that mean that all electrons left the capacitor or that there is the same quantity of electrons on both plates?

What do you think?

What would it mean if all the electrins left a block of some material?
 
Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'
Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.
Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (Second part)'
I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...
