    2d Field
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding a 2D application where an electric field is scattered by a conductor. A parabolic antenna is mentioned as a suitable example, but the original poster seeks additional applications. One suggestion offered is the reflection of radio waves off the ionosphere, which is also considered a conductor. However, the original poster clarifies that the reflection must specifically involve a conductor. The conversation highlights the challenge of identifying suitable examples beyond the parabolic antenna.

hey, does anyone know an application in which an electric field is scattered by a conductor (2D). A parabolic antenna is a good example, but i need another one.

thanks, levi

How about the reflection of radio waves off the ionosphere?
 
no, the reflection has to be off a conductor
thanks anyway
 
The ionosphere is a conductor.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging 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...
