AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving electromagnetics problems related to coaxial cables, specifically calculating potential differences and capacitance. Key formulas involve using Gauss's law to find the electric field and potential difference between the inner and outer conductors. The capacitance can be determined using the general capacitance formula, factoring in the dielectric material's permittivity. Additionally, for a charged particle moving in an electric field, the work-energy theorem can be applied to find its final velocity when it reaches the opposite electrode. The thread emphasizes the need for clarity in problem statements and the correct application of physics principles.

Hey Guys i have tried to attempt some of these questions i just don't understand where to start from i need the main formulas that can help me do these questions thanks alot

a) coaxial line consists of an inner conductor of radius RA = 1 cm
and outer conductor with an internal radius of RB = 10cm. The
internal conductor is charged positively with a linear charge density
of ρℓ = +100 nC/m. Calculate the potential difference between RA
and RB.


(ii) Find the total effective capacitance of the coaxial line described in
(i) if the length of the line is 30 cm and the region between the
conductors is filled with dielectric with relative permittivity of 2.5.


(e) A coaxial line consisting of inner and outer conductors with unknown
radii is located in zero gravity conditions and has a potential difference of
8 kV between electrodes. A particle with a charge of +1 mC and with a
mass of 40 g is located almost on the surface of the central, positively
charged electrode.

The particle is released from its location with zero velocity initially and
starts to move towards the opposite electrode. Calculate the velocity
which the particle will have when it reaches the opposite electrode.

Plz guys i need an urgunt help with these quest :(
 
1)The question appears to be stated improperly. The inner conductor is not of negligible radius yet the linear charge density, instead of the surface charge density is given. But I'm fine if it implies that ρ is the charge density of a ring of negligible thickness around the conductor.

Use Gauss law here to find E. Then use a formula to obtain the potential difference between the conductors. Once you've done that, use a general capacitance formula to determine the capacitance.

2)You're given the potential difference. Use that to determine the work done in moving the charge from one electrode to another. You should be able to determine the final velocity by using a formula and the work-energy theorem.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
