AI Thread Summary
A user seeks assistance with a physics problem involving a charged cylinder and two external charges, specifically how to calculate the equilibrium distance of the charges from the cylinder using the method of images. The cylinder has a charge of +1, while the external charges are both -1/2 and positioned equidistantly from the cylinder's center. The user has made modifications to the original problem and provided additional details in a document. The discussion focuses on applying the method of images to solve the problem. Clarification and guidance on the calculations are requested.

Hi,
This is my first post, am excited to be here. Cutting to the chase here, i have a question that has been bothering me for a while.
The problem is there is a charged cylinder with charge say +1, and i have to charges outside say at a distance 'd' from the center of the cylinder such that they lie in a single staright line passing thorugh the center. Now i wish to find the equillibrum distance of the charges from the cylinder(by symmetry both are equsidistant from the center of the cylinder). Also the charges are -1/2. How can i calculate the distance using method of images.


thanks

some modification

The previous problem that i gave has some modification. I have written some details in the document.
Thanks

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...
