    Flux Surfaces
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the electric flux through four surfaces in relation to charge distribution. The initial calculations suggest a flux of -q/ε for surfaces 1 and 2, while surfaces 3 and 4 have a flux of 0. However, there is confusion regarding the specific question about the flux, as it depends on the positions of the charges and the definitions of the surfaces. Clarification on the context and configuration of the charges is necessary for accurate assessment. Understanding the electric field's influence on the flux is crucial for determining the correct values.

What is the flux though each of the surfaces:

I got:

Surface 1: -q/ε
Surface 2: -q/ε
Surface 3: 0
Surface 4: 0

is this correct?
 
I have no idea what your question is! What flux are you talking about? The electric field due to those charges? That would depend on the precise position of the charges as well as the precise definitions of the 4 surfaces, which I cannot get from the picture.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged 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...
