Calculating Poynting Vector in Long Resistive Rod

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the Poynting vector for a long resistive rod, one must consider the rod's resistance, length, and radius while neglecting edge effects. The Poynting vector, defined as N = 1/μ₀ (E x B), requires knowledge of the electric field (E) and magnetic field (B), which are not provided in the problem. The discussion highlights confusion about how to initiate the calculations without these fields. Additionally, it emphasizes the need to relate the energy transfer rate between the rod and its surroundings to the power dissipated within the rod. Clarifying the electric and magnetic field conditions is essential for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement



Consider a long resistive rod, exhibiting resistance R, of length l and radius r. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the Poynting vector (neglecting edge effects) and relate the rate of energy transfer between the rod and its exterior to the total power dissipated in the rod.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



Not sure how to even go about starting this?! Any help please?

I know that N = 1/mu o E x B, but here we aren't given an E or B field?! What to do ?

Thanks!

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...
