AI Thread Summary
Coils store energy in the magnetic field generated around them, rather than within the core itself. In the case of air coils, the energy is specifically stored in the magnetic field created by the coil's current. This understanding aligns with the general concept of energy storage in inductors, similar to how capacitors store energy in their electric fields. The discussion emphasizes that while the core material plays a role, the primary storage occurs in the surrounding magnetic field. Overall, the focus remains on the magnetic energy storage mechanism in air coils.

where coil store energy??

dear all

well many times when we speaks about coils , they say that coil store energy like cap. stors charges on its plates , the coil store the magentic energy inside its core

so in case of air coil where the energy is stored !

thanks all
bye

We think of the energy being stored in the magnetic field, not in the core. That is really not a very good answer, but it is the best we can do.

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'
Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...
I passed a motorcycle on the highway going the opposite direction. I know I was doing 125/km/h. I estimated that the frequency of his motor dropped by an entire octave, so that's a doubling of the wavelength. My intuition is telling me that's extremely unlikely. I can't actually calculate how fast he was going with just that information, can I? It seems to me, I have to know the absolute frequency of one of those tones, either shifted up or down or unshifted, yes? I tried to mimic the...
