Wrong Forum: Help with Guass' Law & RC

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around several physics problems related to Gauss' Law, electric fields, capacitance, and circuit theory. Key points include finding the potential due to a charged line, demonstrating the field ratio between two connected spheres, calculating the capacitance of concentric spheres, and analyzing the behavior of capacitors in series and parallel configurations. Participants emphasize the importance of showing initial attempts at solving these problems to receive assistance. The conversation highlights the need for applying relevant laws and equations to tackle these physics questions effectively.

2 Show that for two spheres connected by a conductor the ratio of the fields at the surface is given by E/e=r/R where one sphere has a radius R and Field E and the other sphere has a radius r and field e.

3. find the capacitances of two concentric spheres separated by a distance, d, small compared to their radius. show that the capacitance is approximatively the same as the capacitance of two parallel plates with the same area and separation: C= A(E)/d.

4. two capacitors 7.1x10^-6 farads and .000036 farads are connected in series and 10 volts is applied to the pair. the voltage is removed and the capacitors are connected in parallel, plus to plus. hat is the new voltage.

5. Show that the charge on a capacitor C connected in serries with a resistor R is given by Q=Q initial exp(-t/RC)

6. you plan to build a large, cheap cyclotron using the Earth's magnatic fields(1 E-4 t) and orbiting just above the earth;s atmospheres(radius 5.9 E6 m) what energy in volts, should protons be given to just circle the earth? q= 1.6 E-19 m clb, m = 1.67 E-27 kg.
This belongs in the Homework section and you must first show an attempt at a solution or at least tell us what problem you're having with solving it, i.e. where along the process of solving the problem did you get stuck and need some assitance?

can you show me how to solve and which law should i apply for these questions?

As pmb_phy said, you need to show us some attempt before we can help you. But for now, I'll tell you that for the first question you need Gauss' Law and knowing the definition of voltage.

The Attempt at a Solution


so far i only know i hv to apply gauss law and DC and RC stuffs
 
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'
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...
