Finding Polarization Components of an Electric Field Vector

AI Thread Summary
To find the vertical and horizontal polarization components of an electric field vector, it's essential to provide the vector's components and any relevant context. Participants emphasize the need for a structured approach, suggesting the use of a homework template to clarify the problem. If the inquiry is conceptual rather than a homework question, it should be redirected to a more appropriate forum for discussion. Engaging with the community by sharing attempts and understanding can lead to more effective assistance. Clear communication of the problem is crucial for receiving helpful responses.

I have a vector that represents the electric field at a specific point. How to find the vertical and horizontal polarization components of this vector?

Don't delete the template, otherwise no one is going to help you. You've done nothing to show anyone here what you already understand, or where the confusion might lie. Why don't you reply here using the template you deleted.

Welcome to PF!
If this is a homework problem, you need to use the homework template and show your attempt. If you just want to discuss it conceptually, you should post this question in General Physics or Classical Physics forum.

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...
