AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the total field produced by an electron in a parallel plate capacitor setup. An electron is accelerated through a potential difference of 70V while traveling 5mm along the x-axis. Participants express confusion about the missing information, particularly regarding the variable 'r' needed for the magnetic field calculation. The term "total field" is also questioned, indicating a lack of clarity on whether it refers to the combined electric and magnetic fields. The conversation highlights the need for more details to accurately solve the problem.

Homework Statement



an electron is shot in the x direction with an initial speed Vo = 3.5*10^6 m/s and accelerated through a parallel plate capacitor with a potential difference of 70V. After it travels along the x-axis for 5mm, what is the total field the electron produces, including both magnetic and electric components? your answer should give the direction and magnitude of the total vector field.

Homework Equations



B=(Uo*q*v*r)/(4π*r^2)

The Attempt at a Solution


i know i have to solve to V first. but i don't know what should i put into r. i know it's not 5 mm.

Are you sure that's the exact and complete statement of the problem? Because it definitely seems that there is some information missing. And besides, I'm not quite sure what it means by "total field".
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

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 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
