E field between 2 wrinkled spheres, radial symmetry?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the electric field (E) between two wrinkled spheres, analyzing its radial symmetry and mathematical representation. The integral calculations provided demonstrate the relationship between the charge density (ρq), permittivity (εo), and the electric field, yielding the expression E = ρq(157/421εo). The conversation also touches on the topological characteristics of wrinkled spheres, questioning their classification as S2 objects despite potential differences in Euler characteristics. The application of these mathematical models to tumor modeling is highlighted as a practical use case.

[tex]\oint E\cdot dA=|E|\int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi}(1+1/2sin6\theta\sin5\phi)^2sin\phi d\phi d\theta =|E|\int_{0}^{2\pi}(\frac{25}{99}sin^2(6\theta)+2) d\theta =|E|\frac{421\pi}{99}=[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\rho_{q}}{\varepsilon o}\int_{0}^{2\pi }\int_{0}^{\pi }\int_{0}^{(1+\frac{1}{2}sin6\theta sin5\phi )}\rho^2sin(\phi )d\rho d\phi d\theta=[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\rho_{q}}{\varepsilon o} \int_{0}^{2\pi }\int_{0}^{\pi } \frac{1}{198}(157-25cos12\theta )d\phi d\theta= \frac{157\pi\rho_{q}}{99\varepsilon o }... E=\rho_{q}\frac{157}{421\varepsilon o}...Er_{1}-Er_{2} = \frac{\rho_{q}d157}{421\varepsilon o}[/tex]

is a wrinkled sphere also an S2 object topologically though maybe different Euler characteristic? is this calculation correct since the field between 2 regular spheres has a radial term with symmetry? these spheres I read are used to model tumors

thanks very much!

this seems to be a good approach to design your own problems that are perhaps variations on standard ones, they do this at Princeton for instance
