Finding magnitude of surface charge density.

AI Thread Summary
To find the magnitude of surface charge density given variables A, d, V, and the constant 8.854e-12, the formula Sigma = Q/A is not sufficient without knowing the charge Q. The discussion emphasizes the need for the complete problem statement to provide accurate assistance. Surface charge density can be calculated using the relationship between electric field, voltage, and distance, which may involve additional equations. Clarification on the problem details is essential for accurate calculations. Providing the full context will lead to a more precise solution.

If given variables A, d, V, and constant 8.854e-12. How can I find the magnitude of surface charge density.

I originally used Sigma = Q/A but I am not getting the right answer. Any help is appreciated! :)

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...
