I don't understand what symmetry really means. I am going by what I suspect.

Text excerpt : For context, I copy and paste the paragraph on "symmetry" from the text, underlining the relevant lines in red. I hope...

As I have found out only recently, and I confess I should have done so a lot earlier, it is best not to think of electricity as the flow...

Thank you and apologies. A silly error on my part. Something else if I may. There's an agreement to take the conventional flow of...

I don't see how. The RHR (Right Hand Rule) mind you. The magnetic field is from left to right. Charge is moving down. Hence force...

Positive.

Situation : I have drawn the image to the right. A current ##I## flows "down" along a wire in a magnetic field ##\vec B## directed to...

I have solved the problem I mentioned in post #1 at the top, which was about the direction of coriolis deflection of a rocket fired "up"...

Brilliantly explained. Thank you and sorry for the delay in responding.

I should reply to you later when time and the advantage of having done some mathematics first permits. For the case is involved. The...

Due to the coriolis force, the particle acquires a velocity due east (along X) on its way up. For a place in the northern hemisphere...

Yes good question. Sorry I was under the impression that, precisely for my thinking up there, namely that "going up in the northern" is...

Isn't going "up" in the south hemisphere, far as the coriolis force is concerned, the same as going "down" in the northern? (up and down...

Thank you all for your comments. I agree with the corrections to my drawing and with the expression of the coriolis acceleration, namely...

Yes. The Z plane goes vertically up from the place. Y is along the north direction from the place P. Rotation of the earth is in the...
