What is the Magnetic Field Between Parallel Plate Electrodes?

In summary, the conversation is about the magnetic field between two parallel plate electrodes carrying a determined current J. The formula for the magnetic field is B_z(y,z) = (μJ/2πd)(θ1 + θ2), and it comes from the field generated by a single plate, B_z(y,z) = (μJ/2πd)θ. The participants are discussing the origin of this formula and how to demonstrate it. One person is struggling with understanding Maxwell's equations and another explains that the symbol θ is a TeX command for theta.

I have two parallel plate electrodes in which flows a determined current J. I found that the magnetic field between the two electrodes is:

[tex]B_z (y,z)=\frac{\mu J}{2\pi d}(\vartheta_1+\vartheta_2}[/tex]

(see attached figure)

This comes form the field generated by a plate that is:

[tex]B_z (y,z)=\frac{\mu J}{2\pi d}\vartheta[/tex]

Does anybody knows from where come this formula and how to demonstrate it??

I´m just fighting against Maxwell´s equations, but they are winning... :yuck:

Can you explain [tex]\vartheta[\tex] means?

it is a TeX command to write theta in that way.

\theta [tex]\Rightarrow\,\,\theta[/tex]
\vartheta [tex]\Rightarrow\,\,\vartheta[/tex]

1. What is a magnetic field calculation?

A magnetic field calculation is the process of determining the strength and direction of a magnetic field at a specific point in space. This is done using mathematical equations and formulas, taking into account factors such as the strength and orientation of the magnet, the distance from the magnet, and the properties of the surrounding materials.

2. Why is magnetic field calculation important?

Magnetic field calculations are important for understanding and predicting the behavior of magnets and other magnetic materials. They are used in a variety of scientific and industrial applications, such as designing motors and generators, studying the Earth's magnetic field, and creating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology.

3. How is magnetic field strength measured?

Magnetic field strength is typically measured in units of Tesla (T) or Gauss (G). One Tesla is equal to 10,000 Gauss. The strength of a magnetic field can also be measured using a device called a magnetometer, which detects the force exerted by a magnetic field on a small magnet.

4. What factors affect magnetic field strength?

The strength of a magnetic field is influenced by several factors, including the strength and orientation of the source magnet, the distance from the magnet, and the properties of the surrounding materials. Additionally, the type of material the magnet is made of can also affect its magnetic field strength.

5. How is magnetic field direction determined?

Magnetic field direction is determined by the direction in which a compass needle would point in the presence of the magnetic field. The north end of a compass needle is attracted to the south pole of a magnet, so the direction of the needle indicates the direction of the magnetic field lines.
