Finding the Voltage Rating of a Battery in Fig. 3

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around determining the voltage rating of a battery depicted in a diagram. The key equation provided is V=W/Q, which relates voltage to work and charge. Participants express confusion about how to approach the problem and are encouraged to start by identifying known data. The lack of initial understanding highlights the need for guidance in applying the relevant equations to find the solution. Clarifying these concepts will aid in accurately calculating the battery's voltage.

Homework Statement



The field generated in Fig. 3 is due to a battery connected between the center conductor and the sheath. What is the voltage rating of the battery? (i.e. what is the electric potential of the positive terminal with respect to the negative terminal of the battery?)

I have attached a file that includes a diagram and relevant information needed to solve this question.


Homework Equations



V=W/Q
W=F*d




The Attempt at a Solution



I have no idea where to even start on this question. Help Please!

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
