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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the potential difference (V) of a two-conductor transmission line at a specific point P (x=43 cm, y=32 cm) where the electric field |E| is 450 V/m. Given the parameters s=25 cm, h=29 cm, and r=12.5 cm, the potential difference is determined to be 1.13 kV, which is independent of the permittivity of the medium. Participants express confusion regarding the problem and seek clarification, with one user mentioning discrepancies between their calculations and the textbook answer.

https://www.physicsforums.com/attachments/66302Two-conductor transmission line, find the potential difference V of the two conductors.?

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.
