AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving electromagnetics problems related to coaxial cables, specifically calculating potential differences and capacitance. Key formulas involve using Gauss's law to find the electric field and potential difference between the inner and outer conductors. The capacitance can be determined using the general capacitance formula, factoring in the dielectric material's permittivity. Additionally, for a charged particle moving in an electric field, the work-energy theorem can be applied to find its final velocity when it reaches the opposite electrode. The thread emphasizes the need for clarity in problem statements and the correct application of physics principles.

Hey Guys i have tried to attempt some of these questions i just don't understand where to start from i need the main formulas that can help me do these questions thanks alot

a) coaxial line consists of an inner conductor of radius RA = 1 cm
and outer conductor with an internal radius of RB = 10cm. The
internal conductor is charged positively with a linear charge density
of ρℓ = +100 nC/m. Calculate the potential difference between RA
and RB.


(ii) Find the total effective capacitance of the coaxial line described in
(i) if the length of the line is 30 cm and the region between the
conductors is filled with dielectric with relative permittivity of 2.5.


(e) A coaxial line consisting of inner and outer conductors with unknown
radii is located in zero gravity conditions and has a potential difference of
8 kV between electrodes. A particle with a charge of +1 mC and with a
mass of 40 g is located almost on the surface of the central, positively
charged electrode.

The particle is released from its location with zero velocity initially and
starts to move towards the opposite electrode. Calculate the velocity
which the particle will have when it reaches the opposite electrode.

Plz guys i need an urgunt help with these quest :(
 
1)The question appears to be stated improperly. The inner conductor is not of negligible radius yet the linear charge density, instead of the surface charge density is given. But I'm fine if it implies that ρ is the charge density of a ring of negligible thickness around the conductor.

Use Gauss law here to find E. Then use a formula to obtain the potential difference between the conductors. Once you've done that, use a general capacitance formula to determine the capacitance.

2)You're given the potential difference. Use that to determine the work done in moving the charge from one electrode to another. You should be able to determine the final velocity by using a formula and the work-energy theorem.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
