AI Thread Summary
Maxwell capacitance and potential coefficients relate to the behavior of electric fields in conductors, particularly in the presence of a dielectric medium. The symmetry in calculations is important for simplifying the analysis of capacitance between conductors. The dielectric medium affects the mutual capacitance (C12) between the conductors, while the self-capacitance (C11/C22) is primarily determined by the dimensions of the conductors themselves. Understanding the influence of the surrounding medium, such as water, is crucial for accurate capacitance calculations in practical applications. The voltage values and length provided in the problem may serve to contextualize the scenario, even if the primary focus is on capacitance.

Hi ,
I understand the equation and calculation and stuffs. But I can't really visualise/understand.What it does?.And I have questions like
1)Why make it symmetry to do the calculations?
1)Will the medium /Dielectric between conductor 1 and 2 affect C11/C22.Or only C12?

Thanks for your time

What equation? I have no idea what you're asking about. Can you explain more, or give us a link to a web page that describes it?

The question goes something like this.Sorry if turns into homework
2 kabel of length 120 km goes through the sea.Two cables are 2m under the water surface and 5m apart.Plz see the attachment.
1)IF eR of water affect the coefficient of everything.My question is isn't the capacitance of line 1 wholly depends on the dimensions of inside?
2)And why give voltage values and length since the whole question is just finding the capacitance?

Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (Second part)'

I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...

Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'

Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.
