Potential difference due to two uniform infinite sheet charges

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the expression for the potential difference created by two uniform infinite sheet charges positioned at y=5 and y=-5 in free space, with a surface charge density of ?s=?0 col/m2. Participants are asked to calculate the potential at a specific point, given that V=4V at (0,2,10), and to determine V at the point (-4,3,1). The conversation emphasizes the need for a structured approach to solving the problem, suggesting that users should refer to the appropriate forum for homework assistance. The importance of following the homework template is highlighted to ensure clarity and organization in requests for help. Overall, the thread serves as a resource for understanding potential differences in electrostatics.

a) Derive the expression for the potential difference due to two uniform infinite
sheet charges at y=5 and y=-5 in free space.

b) If V=4V at (0,2,10) find V at (-4,3,1) . The surface charge density on the two
sheet charges are ?s=?0 col/m2

What you guys be able to help me with this ?

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Two capacitors, etc.'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
