Electric Potential on the axis of a truncated cone

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the electric potential on the vertical axis of a truncated cone with a uniform volumetric charge density. Participants emphasize the need for the original poster to demonstrate their attempt at solving the problem, as full solutions cannot be provided. They suggest using cylindrical coordinates for the integration process and stress the importance of defining the integration domain clearly. Additionally, the original question must be translated into English for clarity and adherence to forum rules. The thread ultimately concludes with a reminder about proper posting etiquette.

1.Data: We have an truncated cone with a volumentric charge density ρ, and it's uniform. The image show the truncated cone and show some info of the radios.

2. Question. We need to calculate the potential on the vertical axis.

note: adding an image of the problem but it's in spanish, hope someone knows the language...

Hi, @Rasec98 :welcome:

You have to show us some attempt of yours at the solution of the problem, it is against the rules of PF to give you the whole solution.

What is the general integral formula you know that gives the potential V, when the charge density ##\rho(\vec{r})## is known and given by the problem?
I believe you should work with cylindrical coordinates for this problem.
Write down the integral using cylindrical coordinates, and also carefully determine the domain of integration. Then perform the integration.
 
This has to be posted in the homework forum, with the homework template filled out.

Posting an image of the question is already stretching the rules, having the question only in Spanish is definitely not acceptable. You have to translate the question to English and write it up in your post.

Thread closed.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
