AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the electric field at the center of a circle formed by two oppositely charged curved rods, one with charge +q and the other -q, uniformly distributed. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the underlying physics rather than simply providing the answer. They encourage the original poster to show their work to facilitate a more productive discussion. The focus is on the magnitude and direction of the electric field produced at point P, the center of the circle. Engaging with the problem-solving process is deemed essential for effective learning.

two curved plastic rods,one charge +q and another of -q, from a circle of radius R in an xy plane.the X axis passes through their connecting points, and the charge is distributed uniformly on both rods. what are the magnitude and the direction of the electrivc field E (vector) produced at P, the centre of the circle.

can anyone solve this problem? it will be great help if someone solve this problem to help me out

We can't just tell you the answer, it's against the rules and, more importantly, it doesn't really help you. What work have you done?
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
