Problem with electric flux density

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating electric flux density in different scenarios. In part (a), the charge is determined using the integral of charge density, while part (b) applies the formula D(r) = Q/[4*PI*r^2]. For part (c), the confusion arises regarding whether the flux density should be zero; it is clarified that it should not be zero as the electric field exists at a distance, though it decreases with distance. The solution manual's use of the same formula indicates that the density remains nonzero but is less at a greater distance from the charge distribution. The relationship between Gaussian surface areas at different radii is also highlighted to solve for D(20mm).

hello guys :)
i need your help with this problem

i can understand that in (a) we will use the integral of row(v) * dv to get the charge
and in (b) we will use the formule D(r)=Q/[4*PI*r^2]

but in (C) should it be zero or what ??
and if it should be zero why in the solution manual it uses the formula of D(r)=Q[4*PI*(r^2)] again ?!

i don't know what is the right answer for this ..so i need your help ..Thanks guys :)

No, the answer you have -- ##32.5 \frac{nC}{m^{2}}## -- seems right. The only change in part c is that you're looking farther away from the charge distribution, so there's still going to be electric field there and so the flux density will be nonzero, but since you're farther away from the charge, the density is going to be less.
 
The Gaussian surface area A at r = 20 mm is what multiple of the surface at r = 10 mm? Use that to determine D(20mm)*A(20mm) = D(10mm)*(A(10mm).
 
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...
