Wrong Forum: Help with Guass' Law & RC

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around several physics problems related to Gauss' Law, electric fields, capacitance, and the behavior of capacitors in different configurations. The original poster presents multiple questions that involve calculating potentials, electric fields, and capacitance in various scenarios.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants inquire about the application of Gauss' Law and the definition of voltage for the first question. There are requests for clarification on how to approach the problems and what laws should be applied. Some participants emphasize the need for the original poster to show attempts at solutions before receiving assistance.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking to guide the original poster in understanding the problems. Some have provided hints regarding the application of specific laws, while others are awaiting further attempts from the original poster to facilitate deeper discussion.

Contextual Notes

There is an emphasis on the requirement for the original poster to demonstrate an attempt at solving the problems before receiving help, which aligns with the forum's guidelines for homework assistance.

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?

Best wishes

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.
