I Electret with circular electric field

AI Thread Summary
An electret can theoretically be designed to maintain a permanent circular electric field, potentially formed in a slab with the field looping within its plane. This would require rapid formation around a decreasing magnetic flux, presenting challenges in its implementation. The discussion raises the possibility of such electrets exhibiting magnetic-like behavior, potentially attracting or repelling objects. Additionally, the use of the piezoelectric effect is questioned, suggesting it may not be the preferred method for creating these circular electric fields. Overall, the feasibility of creating electrets with circular electric fields remains an intriguing topic for further exploration.

[ Given that an "electret" can be made, that retains a persistent electric field, most often as a flat slab with a perpendicular field ]
Can an electret be made with a permanent circular electric field ? Eg in a slab with the field forming a loop in the plane of the slab ? It would have to be formed quickly around a decreasing magnetic flux as it decreased I guess, kind of difficult but not impossible .
Bonus question :) Would such electrets act as "magnets" ie attract and repel ?

Why don’t you use Piezoelectric effect?

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...

Thread 'Time of flight measurement uncertainty'

Hello! I am generating electrons from a 3D gaussian source. The electrons all have the same energy, but the direction is isotropic. The electron source is in between 2 plates that act as a capacitor, and one of them acts as a time of flight (tof) detector. I know the voltage on the plates very well, and I want to extract the center of the gaussian distribution (in one direction only), by measuring the tof of many electrons. So the uncertainty on the position is given by the tof uncertainty...
