Your option 2) is correct. The term can potentially be a bit misleading as the charges are not necessarily free to move, but that's the standard terminology!

Electronics & Telecomunication student here, while explanation is pretty clear and i understand where does it come from, im kinda confused. We had to made a model of cable with two parallel wires and find value of capacitance. The model is maded in FEMM and using values from program i get different value of capacitance and now im curious which value is closer to be real. Is there any way to find out? Using values from femm, im just dividing charge over voltage difference between two wires, is that good way or not?

Nice one! As you said it's doable using Newton's 2nd law, but tbh I prefer lagrangian mechanics for these type of problems (easier to manage the fact that the FOR relative to the slope is non-inertial), and it shows just how powerful it is here. Same stuff with coupled oscillators (springs, pendulums... we often had those in exams, I think once there was even a charged pendulum or smtg lol)

The polarisation P is defined as dipole moment per unit volume, so we need to multiply P by the volume of the cuboid to get the dipole moment.

Well, not a total coincidence as we've chosen the charge and distance to be just right to make the potential zero on that sphere. But I suppose we are lucky in the sense that a spherical equipotential exists in the first place. It would be impossible to apply the method of images in the case of a cube - I can't imagine any arrangement of charges that would give a cube-shaped equipotential!

Notes: 1) Divergence of D is zero is analogous to divergence of B is zero, so there are no sources or sinks and lines must be in close loops. 2) curl of D is curl of P, in magnetostatics ( which means there is no time dependance on E), curl of B is miu_0 J. But J is not curl of something. So this means the D loop is going to circulating around "the curl of P", as B loop is circulating around J vector. 3)In terms of the relations B is more like E, as D is more like H. Where B and E are considering the effect of everything, D and H are only about free charges and free current.

There are two major differences in this case - firstly, the relation v = rω no longer applies, and secondly, you need to account for energy losses due to sliding friction. If you know the coefficient of friction you can solve the problem numerically, but I'm not sure if it can be done analytically!

There's a torque due to the weight, but it produces a negligible angular impulse during the collision since the time interval is small, so we can equate the angular momenta immediately before and after the impact.

Very interesting video, but there is a catch: I don't agree with one approximation you are making. It is true that ω is small, but it also true that the radius of Earth is much larger than the height of the tower! It means that the centrifugal acceleration isn't negligeable at least at mid latitudes. Let's calculate the centrifugal force in function of the latitude, considering that the height of the tower is negligable compared to the radius of Earth (Re) and taking Earth as a perfect sphere. The distance from the axis of Earth |r|=Re·cos(λ), so the vector r is [0,−Re·sin(λ)·cos(λ),Re·cos²(λ)]. Plugging the vectors r and ω into the expression of the centrifugal acceleration we obtain a(centr)= −ω x (ω x r)= [0,−Re·ω² ·sin(λ)·cos(λ),Re·ω² ·cos²(λ)] Let's plug in some numbers: |ω|=7.292E-5 rad/s, Re≈6.37E6 m and let's consider the case of λ=45°, then a(centr)=[0,−0.0169, 0.0169] m/s². The x component is always 0 and the z component is much smaller than g, so it can be ignored. We are left with a negative y component, though, that accelerates the particle towards the equator. How does it compare to Coriolis acceleration? For a tower 100 m high, vz at the end of the fall is −44.3 m/s, so the x component Coriolis acceleration reaches aₓ(Cor)=−2·ω· vz · cos(λ) =0.00457 m/s², which is actually ~3.7 time smaller than the y component of the centrifugal force! If my calculations are correct, at mid latitudes, a falling particle is more deflected towards the equator by the centrifugal force than it is to the East by the Coriolis force. Notice, however, that the y component of the centrifugal force tends to 0 as we get closer to the equator, while the Corriolis force does not, so at low latitudes the latter prevails and becomes the only source of deflection at the equator.

I understand the case where the sphere is grounded. There you can set V=0 and you have clear boundary conditions for your Poisson equation. However I completely fail to understand the case where the sphere isn't grounded. What are the boundary conditions here? I thought the point was to take some image charges that yield the same boundary conditions for the Poisson equation but these conditions are nowhere mentioned. How would we know what the potential on the surface of the non-grounded conductor is in advance? Isn't this essential information that we need before we can even start using the method of images? I've breen trying to understand this for days and it's really driving me mad.

@ivarszickus457016 күн бұрын
@@barnabasperenyi1785 I think I understand it better now. So we start with an uncharged spherical conductor. We bring a charge Q near it. The charge on the sphere redistributes itself and the surface is now at a constant potential V. We don't know the value of this potential yet, but it doesn't matter I think. In our images setup, we set the first charge q as before and then add a charge q' at the center that will make sure the spherical shell is at this potential V, which we still don't know exactly but whatever it is, there is some carge that gives it. With this setup, the potential and therefore the electric field must be equal in the original setup and the images setup, as long as we're outside the shell. This follows from the unicity of the solution to the Poisson equation with boundary conditions. Now we can use Gauss's Law. Take a Gaussian surface that encloses the conductor but not the charge Q. The flux through this surface must be zero because the sphere has no net charge. Now take the same Gaussian surface in the images setup with the three point charges. There is no conductor here but still the electric field is the same when we are outside the region. Since E is the same everywhere on the surface, the flux through this surface is the same and must also be zero. Since the flux through a closed surface depends only on the enclosed charge, the total charge inside the surface must be zero. Hence q'=-q. From this we would also be able to calculate the potential on the conducting sphere's surface.

@DrBenYelverton I asked Dr. Christopher S Barid from Texas for a better answer and he had to say it in this way. Neutron star materials are extreme material indeed , masses being packed at ridiculous volumes staked up will have very large amount of gravitational potential energy, if we suddenly teleport a golf ball sized material what weighs roughly about an astroid 6 mile wide wouldn't have enough gravity of it's own to hold that potential energy and will rapidly expand resulting in perhaps a megaton yield explosion

@@DrBenYelverton I guess it'd be more dramatic if we were to suddenly teleport the center most part of it as the energy density will be maximum as it holds the weight of all the layers. When suddenly teleported to earth the pressure difference will be astronomical resulting in an explosion. The energy can be calculated using mere classical physical as the kinetic energy / neutron makes it move less than 1% the speed of light , also the escape velocity is approximately 300m/s<<< C at its surface (golf ball).

Hello, sir. I have a question related to the concepts in your recent video. If we take an electron-positron pair as point particles, without a definite radius, their collision doesn’t happen in a classical way, and calculating the annihilation time becomes challenging. Using Coulomb’s law and calculus, we could derive a time-to-distance relation as they accelerate towards each other. However, as they approach close distances, the velocity derived from potential approaches the speed of light, and near the Planck length, Coulomb's law breaks down due to high uncertainty, making exact calculations difficult. Could you explain how to determine the time taken for such a particle-antiparticle annihilation, addressing these relativistic and quantum aspects?
@DrBenYelverton16 күн бұрын
Both very difficult issues to account for! To handle the quantum mechanics side of things properly, you'd likely need some advanced QED which is outside of my expertise. I'd imagine it's not possible to calculate one specific time though as QM is inherently probabilistic. For the special relativistic correction, this is also not straightforward as you'd need to take into account both electric and magnetic effects. It can probably be done but I'd need to spend a while thinking about it!

So the particle absorbs a photon then emits a virtual photon that then decays into a particle anti-particle pair? What is meant by "in the presence"? These equations are independent of distance between the pair production and particle X. The particle could just as well be in the same atom or halfway across the observable universe, but as long as it somehow receives an impulse from the pair production, conservation of momentum is satisfied. This seems suspect because you would think that these events should be causally connected. The restrictions on what X can be is extremely loose in this framework. I could substitute X with "Milky Way Galaxy" and the math would still be the same. Could X be another photon? It seems all you have shown here is that pair production cannot occur in a universe only containing a single photon if conservation of energy and momentum are to be satisfied.
@DrBenYelverton27 күн бұрын
The photon decays into a particle-antiparticle pair, then either the particle or antiparticle exchanges a virtual photon with what I called particle X. See e.g. Wikipedia's article on pair production for a Feynman diagram illustrating this more clearly. You're correct that there is lots of physics missing in this analysis! It's a quantum-mechanical interaction between particles, and for a full treatment we'd need to use QED. In your example of a galaxy, the photon would really be interacting with a specific particle somewhere in the galaxy, not the entire galaxy at once. About the distance between the photon and particle X - there is always a probability for the interaction to happen, but of course the probability decreases with separation and eventually becomes negligible. In the case of a nucleus, classically we'd say that the electric field it produces has infinite extent and influences particles at arbitrarily large distances, but in practice the field is so weak at large distances that it's negligible. So, the phrase "in the presence of" does indeed mean that there must be another particle somewhere in the universe, it's just that the process is far more likely to happen the closer that particle is to the photon. Finally, pair production could indeed happen with a second photon instead of a nucleus, provided that it has enough energy. The Feynman diagram is similar, except there is now no particle X and the second photon is not virtual.

Hello sir, I have read your website and found the thesis of yours on the topics the influence of planetary and stellar companion and debris disks. Quite interesting. So, could you please tell me an overview on what is this about?
@DrBenYelvertonАй бұрын
So, in other planetary systems it is often much easier to detect debris discs than it is to detect the planets themselves. Essentially this is because the asteroids that make up the discs gradually grind themselves down into small dust particles through collisions, and the total cross-sectional area of the many dust particles is much greater than the cross-sectional area of a typical planet. By studying the structures of the discs (e.g. gaps and asymmetries) we can infer things about what sort of otherwise-undetectable planets might be present. I spent a lot of time during my PhD thinking in particular about how multiple-planet systems can open gaps in a disc through a mechanism called secular resonance, which occurs when the orbits of the asteroids and planets precess at the same frequency and the asteroids' orbits become very eccentric as a result.
