Hi Friends I am student of BsCs- 1st Semester,

I am facing problem to solve a question of physics. I have tried my best to solve it but I am fail, can anyone do it for me I will thank to him.

Here Is The Question

Find the force on a positive point charge q located a distance x from the end of a rod of length L with uniformly distributed positive charge Q. See Fig



This Question Is Taken From Physics Vol 2—Edition fifth by
David Haliday (university of pittsburg)
Robert Resnic

Hi urduworld! Welcome to PF! :smile:

(btw, never bump your questions in the first 24 hours … people are much more likely to answer a thread with 0 replies :wink:, and half PF's members are asleep now anyway! :zzz:)

Hint: divide the rod into slices of thickness dy and charge Qdy/L, find the force from each slice, and integrate from x to x + L …

what do you get? :smile:

Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'

This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...

Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'

The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
