AI Thread Summary
The settling velocity, or terminal velocity, occurs when the drag force equals gravitational force. In a rotating field, this terminal settling velocity is decreased compared to a non-rotating scenario. Participants are encouraged to share their research findings and any calculations they have attempted. The discussion emphasizes the need for collaboration and sharing of knowledge to derive the expression for terminal velocity in a rotating field. Engaging with existing resources and community input is crucial for understanding this concept.

TL;DR Summary
Hi there, The settling velocity is terminal velocity at which drag force is equal to the gravity. When the sphere is in rotating field the terminal settling velocity is reduced. What will be the expression for it in rotating field?

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Off resonance driving of a MW/RF cavity'

Hello! Let's say I have a cavity resonant at 10 GHz with a Q factor of 1000. Given the Lorentzian shape of the cavity, I can also drive the cavity at, say 100 MHz. Of course the response will be very very weak, but non-zero given that the Loretzian shape never really reaches zero. I am trying to understand how are the magnetic and electric field distributions of the field at 100 MHz relative to the ones at 10 GHz? In particular, if inside the cavity I have some structure, such as 2 plates...
