THIS POST HELP ME OUT TO SOME EXTENT BUT I AM STILL MESSED UP...

I am messed up with the concept of projection of area of different surfaces and flux through different surfaces...

Please someone explain it with some examples such as -

1. Hemisphere (I AM GETTING --- FLUX = E pi r^2 ) PLEASE CONFIRM
2. Frustum (not getting)
3. Cone (not getting)

we have to find flux through all these surfaces (The field E is uniform)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
sorry about my English ...
- What came in must come out ...
3.
this is your Diagram:
(N.B. the dots in the cone are just to give it shape)

E
-->.../.\
-->../...\
-->./...\ <---- cone
-->/____\___________ <- table

...
E
-->.../!
-->../.!
-->./..! <---- half cone
-->/__! ___________ <- table
you have a triangle so the flux is :(surface of triangle) * (E) = ...
you can work out the same with othe problems .
 
thanks for ur reply

but can u please explain it for frustum and hemisphere

not getting the answer in case of frustum

and please confirm hemisphere one

thanks
 
What is the orientation of the hemisphere ?

case 1 :
flux = (surface of semi Circle )*E
or
case 2 :
flux = (surface of a Circle )*E

Thread 'Please tell me where I am going wrong in this integral'

##|\Psi|^2=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi b^2}}\exp(\frac{-(x-x_0)^2}{b^2}).## ##\braket{x}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi b^2}}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}dx\,x\exp(-\frac{(x-x_0)^2}{b^2}).## ##y=x-x_0 \quad x=y+x_0 \quad dy=dx.## The boundaries remain infinite, I believe. ##\frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi b^2}}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}dy(y+x_0)\exp(\frac{-y^2}{b^2}).## ##\frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi b^2}}\int_0^{\infty}dy\,y\exp(\frac{-y^2}{b^2})+\frac{2x_0}{\sqrt{\pi b^2}}\int_0^{\infty}dy\,\exp(-\frac{y^2}{b^2}).## I then resolved the two...

Thread 'Direction of the magnetic field of an oscillating charge'

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
