The discussion focuses on solving the Charged Bubble Problem by balancing forces from gas pressure, atmospheric pressure, and electrostatic repulsion. The user attempts to derive an expression for the electric force but struggles to connect it with the given parameters. They reference relevant equations, including the electrostatic pressure and volume calculations for the bubble. The conversation invites others to review their approach and provide detailed feedback. Clarifying the electric force's role is essential for solving the problem accurately.

2. The force due to gas pressure = p(V0/V) dA
The force due to atmospheric pressure = p dA
The force due to electrostatic repulsion = undetermined

3. Though I don't surely know what the expression for electric force should be, I took an educated guess and solved using the relation:
force of gas pressure + electric repulsion = atmospheric pressure force
but couldn't get the expression asked for in the problem. Can anyone please take a look?

Please show details of your attempt. The question refers to problem 15. Is there anything in that problem that you could list as relevant to this problem?
 
electrostatic pressure = σ2/2ε0
where σ=q/(4πR2)
now,
pV0/V + σ2/2ε = p
V0=4/3*π*R03 and V=4/3*π*R3
this follows the result
 
(a) The polarisation pattern is elliptical with maximum (1,1) and minimum (-1,-1), and anticlockwise in direction. (b) I know the solution is a quarter-wave plate oriented π/4, and half-wave plate at π/16, but don't understand how to reach there. I've obtained the polarisation vector (cos π/8, isin π/8) so far. I can't find much online guidance or textbook material working through this topic, so I'd appreciate any help I can get. Also, if anyone could let me know where I can get more...
