@ManeeshNarayanan I added a calculation, have a look. — Zarathustra 6 hours ago
do you understand, how he added exponential term?
 
1:59 PM
Hey @BAYMAX
 
2:22 PM
From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tridecagon it is clear that net force experienced by the charge at the center is zero
You can think of such odd sized gons
By comparing to a smaller odd gon
like a triangle
the same concept applies/ the geometry in case of odd n gons
@ManeeshNarayanan
is it clear?
 
How exponential term coming?
in his answer
@BAYMAX
 
3:03 PM
@ManeeshNarayanan i guess roots of unity!
now do u get it ?
 
How he plug the root of unity?
$\vec{F}=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}$ $\frac{qQ}{r^2}$ right?
 
The coordinates of the charges on the 13-gon are?
from roots of unity
that is $z^{13} = 1$
$z^{13} = e^{i2\pi}$
 
yes. that I know
 
$z = e^{\frac{2\pi n i }{13}}$
 
where is $r^2$ term?
ok
unit vector right?
 
3:14 PM
yup
 
yes i got it
Thank you @BAYMAX
 
@ManeeshNarayanan $F$ is vector here but on the RHS you have a scalar
 
now the final form of the force is ?
 
@BAYMAX I had enlightment just above this message :)
 
3:18 PM
If I think then I write - $F = K \frac{qQ}{r^3} \hat{r}$
$F$ a vector
 
yes
r cap are root of unity.
 
so whats $\hat{r}$?
 
here in complex plane
 
$\hat{r} = Re(z) \hat{i} + Im(z) \hat{j}$
in vector form
 
yes
but how would he use the summation in plane?
 
3:21 PM
Better if you keep it in expo form
and sum all the forces
 
but we are actually dealing in plane right?
not complex plane
 
that is $\sum e^{\frac{2 n \pi }{13}}$
 
I know C is isomorphic to R^2
but here in computation will it obey the same?
 
@ManeeshNarayanan in your question please do the edit by writing upto this point
 
suppose $T$ is an isomorphism
 
3:25 PM
this is a valid qn
ask this in the edit and i hope u will get the soln
i will be back aftrs m time
 
yes I got the solution
@BAYMAX
consider the identity map
 
post it here
 
0 maps to 0
vector sign is there
complex number zero maps to (0,0) right?
hence resultant force must be zero.
Am I correct?
@BAYMAX
 
4:10 PM
? i did not get it, sorry
 
which part?
@BAYMAX
 
all :'(
 
($\mathbb C, +$(complex addition)) and ($\mathbb R^2, +$(vector addition)) are isomorphic.
 
ok
 
consider the operation done by him. consider the identity transformation between these structures
 
4:19 PM
ok
 
identity maps to identity under isomorphism
o complex maps to zero vector.
Now I think it is clearer to you.
T($\sum$)=$\sum T()$
If T is an isomorphism.
right?
@BAYMAX
 
May be you should ask in main about this.
 
ok.
I have added in the comment.
please see.
is that enough?
@BAYMAX
 
ok, better if you can include in the edit what your actual problem is?
like why we consider complex plane
while we r wrkng on real plane
also about isomorphisms
simply collect the points you asked me in the cht and add them to the edit
 
4:33 PM
and this will attract potential users to see and help
 
5:02 PM
@BAYMAX I have asked.
are you able to understand the question?
 
yup
It is good now
but i see it is on hold now ?? :'(
 
5:26 PM
they are giving negative votes :'(
 
Hmm... let it close.. you can ask it as fresh in MSE I hope... with better Mathematical clarity
