An electrostatic field line leaves at an angle α from a point charge +Q, and connects with another point charge -q at an angle ß.(See Fig.)
1.) Suppose Q = 12 µC; q = 6 µC; and, α=60*. Determine ß.
2.) Determine the general relation between Q, q, α, and ß.

"|Q| / tan a = |-q|/ tab B" ???
ReplyDeleteCan any1 tell me if I am correct ?? :-/
ReplyDeleteim sry, that's wrong shivam
ReplyDeleteQ/q=(1-CosB)/(1-CosA)
ReplyDeletei think we'll need area of a cone's cap for this..
??
ReplyDeleteyes bhaiya, you are correct
ReplyDeleteand yes, we need solid angles for this
please give a hint.... i'm finding it hard to even start..
ReplyDeletewhat is an electric field line? does it really exist?
ReplyDeletethese lines are a purely mathematical formulation, and they tell you the direction of electric field at every point, but how do they tell you the intensity of electric field?
well.. did people really find this one "Too Easy"??
ReplyDeletesurely, that wasn't xpected.. :)
Keep it up guys!
hi shivanker..take some time out to post the solution. turns out that my method was probably wrong
ReplyDeletesorry for the delay bhaiya.. the post has now been updated with the solution.. :)
