AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the relationship between electrical potential and electric fields as they transition from dipoles to parallel dipoles. Participants express confusion about the connection between the provided equations and the concepts of electric fields and potentials. There is a suggestion to clarify personal understanding and to utilize LaTeX for mathematical expressions. Additionally, the relevance of specific figures and lab instructions in the context of the question is questioned. The conversation emphasizes the need for a clearer demonstration of how the equations relate to the observed electric field configurations.

Homework Statement
Try to demonstrate the relationship between the equations listed in the picture and what they tell you about electric fields.
Relevant Equations
Please help me understand what the correlation is between these equations and the differences between potential and electric fields
How does electrical potential and electric fields change from dipole to parallel dipoles? What does this math demonstrate? What does the equations mean?

Welcome to PF.

That's a pretty big ask. Didn't your instructor cover this in class? It's better if you post what you understand and what you don't understand. It's best to post math using LaTeX (see the "LaTeX Guide" link below the Edit window).

I don't even see the relation between this question and the screen shots. Does the word 'dipole' appear on pages 1 or 2 ?

What I do see on the screen shots is some lab instruction. Figure 2 on page 3 could well be one of the configurations mentioned under 'Data Analysis', so perhaps you can post your results for that configuration ? Equipotential contours seem to have been measured and field lines drawn.

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}...
Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'
Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
