    Calculating R and C on an AC circuit.

    Homework Statement There is a circuit formed by a capacitor and a resistor with an AC source of 212V. It is known that the currentr that goes through the circuit is 0.5A, with a phase angle of pi/8 rad in relationship with the tension and that the power consumed by the circuit is 50W. What...

    Understanding Charge Movement in Discharge Lamps

    Ok. But no, that's wrong. You have to take the absolute value of the charge, so both currents will add. At least that's what Sears and Semansky say.

    Did I do something wrong here not to get any answer?

    What is self-inductance and how does it relate to magnetic flux and current?

    Alright I get it now, it's not considered in the integral because you do it over the transversal area of the coil.

    What is self-inductance and how does it relate to magnetic flux and current?

    Then I don't understand what is that other part of the forum for :confused: Anyway... Ampere's law says that the integral of a magnetic field around a closed loop equals mu zero times the current penetrating a random surface attached to that loop. What you wrote there is Faraday's law. But that...

    What is self-inductance and how does it relate to magnetic flux and current?

    Alright, thanks. Now something else. My book multiplies the time variation of the magnetic flux with the number of loops, and says that value negative is what equals to the induced EMF. I wonder, isn't the number of loops already considered in the flux integral?

    What is self-inductance and how does it relate to magnetic flux and current?

    Yeah I was trying that myself but there were some problems with the database, so I just wrote what I wanted to say, with words. I don't know if you want me to be more detailed now or that post was before you saw my edit.

    What is self-inductance and how does it relate to magnetic flux and current?

    I have a problem with the concept here. Does it mean that the flux of a magnetic field is function of a field which is function of a current which by itself is function of that flux?
