Torque of a current carrying wire in magnetic field

AI Thread Summary
The torque on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field is not influenced by the wire's own magnetic field because that field does not exert a force on itself. The magnetic field generated by the wire circulates around it and does not interact directly with the wire to produce torque. Consequently, the wire does not experience a force from its own magnetic field. This principle is fundamental in understanding electromagnetic interactions. Overall, the current-carrying wire only responds to external magnetic fields for torque generation.

For Torque of current carrying wire in magnetic field why does the magnetic field of the current carrying wire itself not contribute to torque?

will the current carrying wire experience a force from the magnetic field it produces?... no right?
 
Correct.
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
I was thinking using 2 purple mattress samples, and taping them together, I do want other ideas though, the main guidelines are; Must have a volume LESS than 1600 cubic centimeters, and CAN'T exceed 25 cm in ANY direction. Must be LESS than 1 kg. NO parachutes. NO glue or Tape can touch the egg. MUST be able to take egg out in less than 1 minute. Grade A large eggs will be used.
