Haha, my limited knowledge of superconductors is only from research I did for an engineering class last year. Currently learning linear algebra but have yet to learn its applications in physics. Perhaps that is something I should look into a bit more, as well as hysteresis losses. Any tips on...
Okay, but why? How would the B-field be affected by the introduction of a hollow tube? I understand the Meissner effect but that is applicable to superconductors. Is it because the wires will conduct current through the ferrous tube and force the B-field around the tube?
And thank you for the...
I'm currently in conceptual phase of designing a coil gun. Thinking back to my physics 2 class-- and some of my independent studies-- I understand an EMF produced by a solenoid with current through the wires of it is strengthened significantly by a ferrous core, as seen by the classic experiment...
