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 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
