E field between 2 wrinkled spheres, radial symmetry?

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the electric field (E) between two wrinkled spheres and its radial symmetry, questioning whether a wrinkled sphere can be considered an S2 object despite potentially differing Euler characteristics. The calculations presented involve integrating over the surface area and volume of the spheres, leading to expressions for E in terms of charge density (ρq) and permittivity (εo). There is a comparison to the electric field between regular spheres, which exhibits radial symmetry, raising concerns about the accuracy of the calculations for the wrinkled spheres. The conversation also touches on the application of these models in tumor research and the importance of designing unique problems based on standard models. Overall, the discussion highlights the complexity of modeling electric fields in non-standard geometries.

\oint E\cdot dA=|E|\int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi}(1+1/2sin6\theta\sin5\phi)^2sin\phi d\phi d\theta =|E|\int_{0}^{2\pi}(\frac{25}{99}sin^2(6\theta)+2) d\theta =|E|\frac{421\pi}{99}=
\frac{\rho_{q}}{\varepsilon o}\int_{0}^{2\pi }\int_{0}^{\pi }\int_{0}^{(1+\frac{1}{2}sin6\theta sin5\phi )}\rho^2sin(\phi )d\rho d\phi d\theta=
\frac{\rho_{q}}{\varepsilon o} \int_{0}^{2\pi }\int_{0}^{\pi } \frac{1}{198}(157-25cos12\theta )d\phi d\theta= \frac{157\pi\rho_{q}}{99\varepsilon o }... E=\rho_{q}\frac{157}{421\varepsilon o}...Er_{1}-Er_{2} = \frac{\rho_{q}d157}{421\varepsilon o}

is a wrinkled sphere also an S2 object topologically though maybe different Euler characteristic? is this calculation correct since the field between 2 regular spheres has a radial term with symmetry? these spheres I read are used to model tumors

thanks very much!

this seems to be a good approach to design your own problems that are perhaps variations on standard ones, they do this at Princeton for instance
 
Thread 'What is the pressure of trapped air inside this tube?'
As you can see from the picture, i have an uneven U-shaped tube, sealed at the short end. I fill the tube with water and i seal it. So the short side is filled with water and the long side ends up containg water and trapped air. Now the tube is sealed on both sides and i turn it in such a way that the traped air moves at the short side. Are my claims about pressure in senarios A & B correct? What is the pressure for all points in senario C? (My question is basically coming from watching...
