Electricity and Magnetism Question

AI Thread Summary
Coaxial resistors and capacitors are discussed, with a request for approximate diagrams and relevant equations. Clarification is sought on calculating the self-energy of a charged sphere, with suggestions to consider both measurement and calculation methods. Reference is made to the Feynman Lectures for detailed calculations of energy in a charged sphere. Additionally, a recommendation is given to search online for specifications of coaxial components. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding both theoretical and practical aspects of electricity and magnetism.

I have a couple of questions in E&M.

a)Can anyone tell me what a coaxial resistor and a coaxial capacitor looks like? (Approx Diagram) Because I am not sure which equations apply to them since I am not sure what they look like.
b)How do I find a self energy of a charged sphere? Split it into 2 parts and bring it together? Not sure on this one, if someone can help, thnx.

b) Do you mean how do you measure (in the lab) the energy in a charged sphere?

Or do you mean how do you calculate the energy in a charged sphere?

There is a good discussion on calculating the energy of a charged sphere in Feynman Lectures Volume II chapter 8-1.

a) Just do a Google sreach for the coaxial caps and resistors. You can find the complete specs from most vendors.

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 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
