This is a very good concept that I just don't grasp! I started working on it for hours and the answers just don't seem to come to me!

I got all the the projects done except this one and another one!

Please help Friends!

Thanks

Well
C = V/Q
And the integral for the electric field from one plate to the other would be equal to V.
Where are you getting stuck? Can you find the electric field? Or when you try and integrate through the dielectric.

Hello there! I'm doing well, thank you for asking. I see that you are having trouble with a parallel plate capacitor problem. I understand that this concept may be difficult for some students, but don't worry, I am here to help.

I took a look at the link you provided and it seems to be a complex problem involving capacitors in series and parallel. My first suggestion would be to review the basics of parallel plate capacitors and how they are connected in series and parallel. Once you have a strong understanding of the fundamentals, it will be easier to tackle more complex problems.

Additionally, I recommend breaking the problem down into smaller steps and tackling them one at a time. This will help you to better understand the problem and make it more manageable. If you still have trouble, don't hesitate to ask your teacher or classmates for help. Sometimes having a different perspective can make all the difference.

Remember, don't get discouraged if you don't get the answer right away. Keep practicing and seeking help when needed, and you will eventually grasp the concept. I wish you the best of luck with your remaining projects!
 
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...
