Undergrad Cutting a polarized conductor in half
If you have a bar conductor that's moving perpendicular to a magnetic field, the magnetic force would bring all the electrons to one side of the conductor, leaving one end positive and the other end negative. If you cut the conductor in half while it is moving, will one end be positively... -

Undergrad How does a magnet create its magnetic field.?
The electrons that "orbit" atoms can be considered current. The circular current generates a magnetic field, depending on the orientation of it's orbit. But since atoms and electrons are pretty random, each one of these magnetic fields cancel each other out. That's because all the electrons...- Artel

Calculating acceleration using Experimental equation
Yes, in that case x is very close to 1. So my a is .298931, which is an acceptable result. Thank you!- Artel

Calculating acceleration using Experimental equation
Thank you for responding! Alright, comparing the two equations: I set both equations equal to each other. \sqrt{2a} = 10-.1117 • x.5018/x1/2 \sqrt{2a} = .773215 x.0018 squaring both sides 2a = .597861 x.0036 dividing by 2 a = .298931 x.0036 I still don't understand. I...- Artel
