Charged Definition and 1000 Threads

Hello there! This is my first post here, hopefully I am not posting in the wrong place. Also, I am an engineer and have not used this stuff for years, so please be patient with me, I am pretty sure that my question is stupid :-) I would like to develop a simulation code for charged particles...

Homework Statement I've to demonstrate the electric potential that a charge q feels when it's broght from infinite to a point z. The problem is that every demonstration i found out there starts with the definition of potential eletric as dV = k. dq/ r²; but i cannot use that, 'cause my...

Homework Statement Homework Equations Q=CThe Attempt at a Solution a) I want to say that since both have the same potentials then it is similar to a parallel circuit where the charges can differ on each capacitor. If i think of point A as an input and point B as an output then the potential...

Hello, I am facing a paradox, well it seems like one, resolving the interaction force between two equally charged plates each bearing a positive charge. Let us assume this as Q, and plates having area A. On one hand , we can claim the force = Q^2/2Ae0 where e0 is the vacuum permittivity...

So we have a cross sectoin of a sphere that is charged with Q (refer to attachment). electrostatics say the electric field within a charged conductor is 0, and the electric field is perpendicular to the surface. But for a hollow charged sphere (like in the attachment), does the hollow area...

Because of the "sea of electrons" holding a metal lattice together is it possible to charge that metal so much positively (by removing enough electrons) that it will break apart due to the unbalanced repulsion between positive nuclei? normally the interaction between the "sea of electrons" and...

If we drop a charged particle and a neutral particle at the same time(same hight) in a uniform gravitaional field, they will hit the ground simultaneously? on one hand：a freely falling charged particle will radiate according to a supported observer, so the radiation recoil (radiation...

A moving charged particle produces a magnetic field around it, thus a stationary observer would notice a moving electric and magnetic field. Does this moving magnetic field (as seen by the stationary observer) in turn produce another electric field?

Homework Statement Why is it that when a charged object is near a stream of water (polar), it causes the stream to bend towards the object (attraction) instead of bend away (repulsion)? I know why the water bends, but why does it not REPEL instead? Homework Equations N/A just an...

I am having issues with multiple gauss' law problems. Assume we have a charged spherical surface. Inside the surface, E=0V/m. But why? I understand that at the center it should be zero due to symmetry, but why would it be zero at some point say, inside the surface but not at the center...

Ok so I have few question and would be happy if someone could answer them or reassure me of the way I think is right, thank you. First of all do electrons that have higher energy levels can attract two ions closer than electron with lower energy? Or is it a fundamental property that has to...

1. Problem statement. 2. Known equations. E = k § dq/r^2 Lamda = Q/L 3. Attempt. I am having trouble figuring out the dq in this situation. I know that lamda = Q/L, and since those 2 are the variables that are changing I take the derivative of them so it looks like Lamda = dq/dL I...

Are photons capable of interacting with particles with no charge. And if not, is it possible that that's the reason dark matter has so far eluded detection: because it has no charge?

A spherical shell and a conducting sphere each of radius R are charged to maximum potential. Which of the two has more charge? My attempt: Since in a conductor, no charge can reside inside the conductor so all charge is on the surface of the conductor just like the spherical shell. Now ...

When we Earth a positively charged sphere, the positive charge of the sphere vanishes. Why does this happen? When we connect two charged bodies doesn't charge redistribute till we get equipotential surface? Now when there is no charge on the sphere means the sphere has 0 potential. So that means...

When charged spheres are connected using a conducting wire, the charge will redistribute so as to make the potential constant because the connection makes them a single conductor and conductors are equipotential surfaces. My doubt was that if the spheres are of different size and have different...

This is rather strange and has been bugging me, from chapter 22 (Electric fields) of Resnick & Halliday: So suppose you have a charged disk of radius ##R## (the disk has no thickness and charge is uniformly spread on the surface of the disk). If you are at a distance ##z## away from the...

Hello folks! I've been trying to calculate the E-field of a charged ring. It seems well documented for a symetric point(a line from the center etc.) but what I'm interested in is say if I'm slightly of the center of the ring, how can I make a more general equation? I've tried calculating...

Hi...why the plates bcomes charged as soon as they are connecetd ?

Hi guys! This is related to a recent thread but since that thread became cluttered, I figured it would be more coherent to just ask the question here. Say we have a congruence of charged dust particles in some space-time with tangent field ##\xi^a##. The energy-momentum of the charged dust is...

I am relatively new to particle physics, and I seem to have reached confusion already. I do not seem to comprehend how you could measure the momentum of a charged particle just by exerting force and a magnetic field on it. The formula F = Bqv is mentioned when I hear of this, which does not...
