Vector Potential: Proving Partial Derivative of A = E

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on proving that the partial derivative of the vector potential A with respect to time t equals the electric field E. Participants suggest utilizing Maxwell's equations and integral identities from Griffith's Electrodynamics to approach the proof. There is an emphasis on clarifying the problem statement for better guidance. The conversation hints at the necessity of performing a derivative to establish the relationship. Overall, the proof process is described as potentially straightforward with the right mathematical tools.

Maxwell's equations... maybe something like the divergence theorem or one of those convenient integral identities in the front of Griffith's Electrodynamics.

Maybe you could describe the problem better. If you've given me all the information, try what I said above... maybe you'll have to take a derivative or something, but it should be fairly straightforward.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
