Electricity and Magnetism Question

AI Thread Summary
Coaxial resistors and capacitors are discussed, with a request for approximate diagrams and relevant equations. Clarification is sought on calculating the self-energy of a charged sphere, with suggestions to consider both measurement and calculation methods. Reference is made to the Feynman Lectures for detailed calculations of energy in a charged sphere. Additionally, a recommendation is given to search online for specifications of coaxial components. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding both theoretical and practical aspects of electricity and magnetism.

I have a couple of questions in E&M.

a)Can anyone tell me what a coaxial resistor and a coaxial capacitor looks like? (Approx Diagram) Because I am not sure which equations apply to them since I am not sure what they look like.
b)How do I find a self energy of a charged sphere? Split it into 2 parts and bring it together? Not sure on this one, if someone can help, thnx.

b) Do you mean how do you measure (in the lab) the energy in a charged sphere?

Or do you mean how do you calculate the energy in a charged sphere?

There is a good discussion on calculating the energy of a charged sphere in Feynman Lectures Volume II chapter 8-1.

a) Just do a Google sreach for the coaxial caps and resistors. You can find the complete specs from most vendors.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

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 hanged mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged 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...
