# Electromagnetism

I am having trouble in certain questions which involve the concept of earthing and potential among plates ! can you plz help by suggesting any methods about that? and 2nd ques, when we overflow a bottle we see the surface is not plane but curved ! what is the radius of that curve ? 3rd one there is a frustum of cone (which is formed by cutting half of a cone ) and one charge $q$ is placed at the peak of original cone what is their force of interaction? I got $\theta \frac { \sigma q\quad ln(2) }{ 2\pi { \E }_{ 0 } }$ where $\theta$ is the half angle and $\sigma$ is the charge density on the frustum. Am I right?

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

• Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
• Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
• Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
• Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

What is the last one? Dimensions of the frustum?

l/2 sl'nt height , R r'dius 'nd sigm' is ch'rge density of the frustum .

it is just to s'y its v'lue is not going to 'ffect 'nswer 'nd it w's not even given in the question our interest lies only in the f'ct th't the cone is cut ex'ctly in h'lf
