AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on whether the current for path AB is zero due to the absence of enclosed current. Participants agree that since there is no enclosed current for path AB, the current should indeed be zero. Additionally, it is noted that the question does not require calculating the integral around a closed path. The focus remains on the interpretation of current in relation to the specified path. This conclusion reinforces the understanding of current flow in circuit analysis.

Since there is no enclosed current for path AB, shouldn't it just be 0?
Thanks!

The question does not ask for the integral around the closed path.
 
Thank you!
 

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...

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 .
