    I Adiabatic Process: Solving a Thermodynamics Problem

    Hello everyone! I've been thinking a lot about this thermodynamics problem , hearing all sorts of opinions but never getting a full rigurous explanation. So we have a cylinder that is placed in vacuum. We insert in the cylinder a monoatomic ideal gas. The gas is trapped inside the cylinder with...

    B Calculate Solenoid Self Force Pressure w/ Corrected B Field

    I am aware of the problem that you solved, but this is not my point. What I am trying to say is that we have an infinitely long solenoid and we try to calculate the tensile force acting on one of its loops ( we can assume that the loop is in the middle) due to the magnetic field of the solenoid...

    B Calculate Solenoid Self Force Pressure w/ Corrected B Field

    Hello everyone! I found in my textbook that in order to calculate the pressure experienced by the surface of a long straight solenoid with ##n## turns per unit length and current ##I## we don't use the typical magnetic field ##B=\mu_0nI## on a loop of the coil , but a corrected magnetic field...

    Calculating Voltage in a 6x6 Resistor Grid

    So the major misunderstanding here is that the square frame is actually made of superconducting material, so the entire frame is a equipotential region.

    Calculating Voltage in a 6x6 Resistor Grid

    And I think that this means that A and P have the same potential , because if we were to apply kirchhoff's law for voltage taking the loop to be the square frame, than we would obtain ##V_A=V_P## . Am I right?

    Calculating Voltage in a 6x6 Resistor Grid

    Actually there is a thing that the author says and I didn't notice. It says that the frame of this grid is made of superconducting material and only what is in the interior of the square has restistance.

    Calculating Voltage in a 6x6 Resistor Grid

    Ok , so the second point is P. You are right that P-A would not work. So, what is going on ? Is the solution from the book okay?

    Calculating Voltage in a 6x6 Resistor Grid

    What I was trying to say is that if we consider only point A as a potential source, than , from symmetry , we can fold the square grid twice ( connecting N-M and P-A)

    Calculating Voltage in a 6x6 Resistor Grid

    I think I got it. I had this feeling that as the current gets further away from A , is diverging more and more, but is diverging until it reaches the "O diagonal" of the square and than it converges again so it is symetric.

    Calculating Voltage in a 6x6 Resistor Grid

    The way I see this grid is like a superposition of two grids with two independent voltage sources ##V_- ## and ##V_+## which are in A and O. The voltage is created by passing a current trough a resistance. So is see now that the current in A has to exit in the opposite point. And than superposed...

    Calculating Voltage in a 6x6 Resistor Grid

    Homework Statement We have a resistor grid with 6x6 squres. ( figure below) If we know the voltage between ##O## and ##A##, what is the voltage between: ##a) O## and ##B## ##b) C## and ##D## ##c) E## and ##F## Every side has the same resistance. Attempt for solution: Because of the symmetry...
