Two-conductor transmission line, find the potential difference V of th

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the potential difference V between two conductors in a transmission line setup, given specific parameters such as electric field strength and distances. At point P, the electric field |E| is measured at 450 V/m, and the potential difference is determined to be 1.13 kV, which is stated to be independent of the medium's permittivity. A user expresses difficulty in starting the problem and shares their work for feedback, indicating that their teacher believes the textbook answer is incorrect. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the problem setup and the calculations involved. Overall, the focus is on resolving the potential difference calculation in the context of a two-conductor transmission line.

Two-conductor transmission line. At point P (x=43 cm, y=32 cm) in Fig. 2-10, |E|=450 V/m. If s=25 cm, h=29 cm, and r=12.5 cm, find the potential difference if these two conductors.Ans. =1.13 kV independent of permittivity of medium.

I having trouble starting this problem. My worki is attachedhttps://www.physicsforums.com/attachments/66304

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hey guys. I attached my work to this problem before but it didn't go through so here it is. It's ATTACHED. I also included so information from the textbook. if anyone has any ideas please let me know. Also I even asked my teacher and he said the answer I should be getting is the one that is boxed in. He says the book is WRONG. Either way I'm not getting either answer.
