B Solving Gauss' Law Problem for Varying Electric Fields

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the possibility of creating a varying electric field in a region of space that only has one directional component, specifically along the positive x-direction. It highlights the application of Gauss's law, which suggests that if an electric field crosses the faces of a cube at right angles, there must be charge present within the cube. The question raised is whether such a varying electric field can exist without a corresponding charge distribution throughout the entire space. The consensus indicates that a charge distribution is necessary for such a varying electric field to exist. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the relationship between electric fields and charge distributions in physics.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT A REGION OF
SPACE WITH ELECTRIC FIELD ALONG
POSITIVE X DIRECTION AND Varying
WITH SPACE COORDINATE(x)

NOW IF ONE IMAGINES A CUBE IN SPACE
SUCH THAT FIELD CROSSES ITS TWO FACES
AT RIGHT ANGLES ,A SIMPLE Application of
gauss law Indicates the presence of charge inside cube Does that means that one can't create varying electricFields in a region that possesses only one direction Without having charge distribution over whole of Space?

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
