Help with Electric Potential 2 Homework

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a homework question related to electric potential, where the user has completed the first part but struggles with the second. A suggestion is made to use integration by parts, emphasizing that this method differs for vector equations compared to scalar ones. Additionally, the use of Green's formula is recommended as an alternative approach. It is also advised to reference Maxwell's equations, particularly the one connecting charge density to the electric field. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding vector calculus in solving electric potential problems.

Homework Statement



Hey guys.
Look at this question, I already did the first part.
I have no idea how to do the second one, even with the clue...

Can Someone please help me with that?

Well, the HINT suggests using integration by parts, have you tried that?

You should note that integration by parts for vector equations is not the same as for scalar equations. If you're not familiar with using integration by parts on vector equations, it is also possible to use Green's formula.

Also, you will probably find one of Maxwell's equations fairly useful... The one that relates charge density to electric field.
 
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 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
