Homework Statement Find the pressure on a uniformly charged spherical conducting shell of Radius R and total charge Q. The answer is (Q^2) / (32*π*ε*R^4) I´m fine doing this using the derivative of the energy as the sphere grows to get the force. My question is: Why do I get twice the answer...

For example, when a radioactive isotope of Uranium undergoes alpha decay, a radioactive isotope of Thorium is formed. Why isn't this daughter isotope charged?

I am an undergraduate physics student and found myself thinking about a scenario where two positively charged projectiles are fired at an angle to the horizontal at a velocity with a certain separation. So they will be subject to a gravitational force and perpendicular to this, an electrostatic...

hi i need an equation which can describe the charging time of two parallel capacitors one of them is %50 charged and if i have a capacitor which is always charged from 50% to 100% and never fully discharged will it have a different impedance than the fully charged/discharged capacitor?

It sounds like an easy-enough problem, but even writing down the ridiculously nonlinear equation that would need to be solved is making my face hurt. I'm talking classical/Newtonian gravitation, action-at-a-distance, constant-force. It could really be any external non-EM conserved force...

Hey, I have a series of questions on a basic charged sphere and deriving quantities such as the infinitesimal charge, the total charge and the electric field. The question is part (b) in the image below: So I found dQ' by equating it to the surface area of a shell at a distance r'...

I am new to General Relativity, so this question might sound silly. I know that the source of gravitational field is the stress-energy tensor. What I wonder is how do I find the spacetime metric, gmn caused by a stationary charged particle? What is the stress-energy tensor of a stationary...

Hi, I've been thinking about the concept of charged black holes. What I'm wondering is this; if light cannot escape a black hole, and photons are the bosons of the EM force, then is it meaningful to describe a black hole as having a 'charge'? If the photons can't escape the black hole, then no...

I have a charged insulating marble -- let's say I used an electrostatic generator to get it up to 1 coulomb, and it weighs 1g (don't make me say 9.8mN). I have it in an insulating "box" whose walls and ceiling are very far away. I have it sitting still for a long time, so its E field is ~1/r^2...

I know that if you have alternating current in a wire, it will produce electromagnetic waves since the electric and magnetic field change direction continuously as the wave propagates, and that the wave direction, orientation of the E component, and orientation of the B component will all be...

Black holes only emit hawking radiation which is black body radiation. If black holes only emit photons then the black hole can never get rid of charge which means it can never get rid of all its mass. Does this means black holes also emit charged particles?

Hi all, I am trying to out what happens when a gravitational wave caused by a monochromatic, electromagnetic plane wave interacts with a charged particle. As we all know, the electromagnetic wave causes the particle to follow a figure of eight shaped path (in the particles rest frame anyway)...

It is known that if a charged particle accelerates then it emits electromagnetic wave (energy). If so then this means that the work we do on particle, W=F*s, doesn't all go to particles kinetic energy, E=0.5*m*v^2. Then this means that Newton's F=m*a doesn't hold for charged objects, particles...
