Homework Statement
A very long aluminum wire has a radius of 1 cm and an uniform charge density of 6 x 10^-5 C/m^2 over its area. 1.) what is the charge on 1 m of this wire? 2.) What is the linear charge density of the wire? 3.) What is the electric field at a point 7.8 cm away from the surface of the wire?
Relevant Equations
E (electric field of sheet of charge) = uniform charge density / 2 (8.85 x 10^-12 C^2 / N*m^2 )
Electric flux = E(electric field) * A(area)
Q(Charge inside) = charge density * A(area)
E (electric field of a cylinder) = Charge per unit of length / (2*pi*r*(8.85 x 10^-12 C^2 / N*m^2))

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 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
