Modeling conservation of charge

AI Thread Summary
A group of physics students conducted an experiment to test the conservation of charge by initially charging a capacitor with a value of 5600 µF. The discussion briefly mentions a double post, indicating a mistake in the thread. The focus remains on the experiment's design and its relevance to the conservation of charge principle. The experiment aims to validate or challenge existing theories in physics. Overall, the conversation centers on the practical application of theoretical concepts in a laboratory setting.

Therefore, God does not exist.
 
Whoops, double post.I must've pushed the wrong button. Sorry about that, ignore this, see the other thread.
 

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...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
