    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...

    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...

    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!

    Calculating acceleration using Experimental equation

    How do I compare b to \sqrt{2a} and m to 1/2 and find a? What do you mean by compare?

    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...
