Name For (Limit) Points In An Electric Field Plot ....

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying specific points in an electric field plot around four point charges where the electric fields converge and create right-angled turns. Participants are seeking a traditional name for these points. One user requests a visual representation or diagram to better understand the context of the question. The conversation emphasizes the importance of visual aids in discussing complex concepts in physics. Clarifying terminology in electric field analysis is crucial for effective communication in the subject.

Homework Statement


I'm looking at an electric field plot around four (4) + and - point charges in free space.
There are several points where the electric fields come together and make right-angled turns (in the limit). Is there a name for these points? Especially is there a traditional name for these points? Thanks for reading.

Can you post a picture or drawing? Or a link to a source of such a diagram? That would help a lot. :smile:
 
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...
