    Solving Dielectric Lens Electric Field Equation

    Homework Statement In the figure the left surface of a dielectric lens is that of a circular cylinder, and the right surface is a plane. If E1 at point P(r,45,z) in region 1 is 5\hat{a}_{r}-3\hat{a}_{\phi }, what must be the dielectric constant of the lens if the electric field in the...

    What Is the Dipole Moment of a Grounded Sphere in a Uniform Electric Field?

    Homework Statement The electric potential of a grounded conducting sphere of radius r in a uniform electric field E_{0}\hat{k}along the z direction is given by V(r,\theta )=-E_{0}r\cos \theta +\frac{E_{0}R^{3}\cos \theta }{r^{2}} where r is the distance from the centre of the sphere...

    Binary stars ,time period of orbit?

    Sorry, i can't understand even now. They'll be at a distance 2R apart.(i think) and the equation of motion is, \ddot{r}=\frac{L^{2}}{mr^{3}}-\frac{Gm}{2r^{2}} how can i solve this? I tried in terms of energy also. E=\frac{1}{2}m\dot{r}^{2}+\frac{L^{2}}{2mr^{2}}-\frac{Gm^{2}}{r}...

    What is the physical interpretation of the Lagrangian condition b2-ac ≠ 0?

    Homework Statement A Lagrangian for a particular physical system can be written as, L^{\prime }=\frac{m}{2}(a\dot{x}^{2}+2b\dot{x}\dot{y}+c\dot{y}^{2})-\frac{K% }{2}(ax^{2}+2bxy+cy^{2}) where a and b are arbitrary constants but subject to the condition that b2 -ac≠0.What are the...

    Predict nature of motion from Lagrangian.

    Homework Statement A particle of mass m moves in 1D such that it has Lagrangian, L=\frac{m^{2}\dot{x}^{4}}{12}+m\dot{x}^{2}V(x)-V_{2}(x) where V is some differentiable function of x.Find equation of motion and describe the nature of motion based on the equation. The Attempt at a...

    Binary stars ,time period of orbit?

    I didn't get it yet. :( \tau ^{2}=\frac{16\pi ^{2}R^{3}}{Gm}, by Kepler's law. then?

    Binary stars ,time period of orbit?

    Homework Statement A binary system consists of two stars of equal mass m orbiting each other in a circular orbit under the influence of gravitational forces. The period of the orbit is τ . At t = 0, the motion is stopped and the stars are allowed to fall towards each other. After what time t...

    Exploring the Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics: Unraveling Common Doubts

    ∂Homework Statement I've some doubts in the basic quantum mechanics.I know these are too simple. But can't figure out the exact answer. 1. Ordinary wave equation relates second order time derivative to second order space derivative.But Schrodinger equation connects first order time...

    What is the Parity of a System Described by a Wavefunction?

    How is that possible? is it bcz r^2 = x^2+y^2+z^2? But the reflection changes direction of vector also na? Can you please explain?

    What is the Parity of a System Described by a Wavefunction?

    Homework Statement The wavefunction describing state of a system is, \psi (r,\theta ,\phi )=\frac{1}{8\sqrt{\pi }}\left( \frac{1}{a_{0}}% \right) ^{3/2}\frac{r}{a_{0}}e^{-4/2a_{0}}\sin \theta e^{-i\phi } Find the parity of system in this state. The Attempt at a Solution \psi...

    Nuclear shell model spin and parity?

    In a book i saw tha spin parity of oxygen is found by considering proton number only.I want to confirm if it is so even when the proton shell is completely filled(ie, there's no unpaired proton).or do i need to consider neutron number?

    The question is: How can I find the magnetic field inside a long conductor?

    Yeah!now got it. Current density is constant. Ienc/∏r2= Itotal/∏α2
