Which Ring Glides Farther? Explaining the Physics
I think the hollow ring will travel a much longer distance when compared to the other ring. There is a suggestion that the ice is frictionless and therefore the rings will never stop. I don’t think that this is correct. Ice has got some minimal amount of friction. Even if we admit that the ice...- kinley

Graduate In magnetism, what is the difference between the B and H fields?
When it comes to outside of a magnetic material both these fields are same. Inside a magnetic material they are completely different especially with regards to relative magnitude and direction. B field is dependent to a considerable extent on currents, both microscopic and macroscopic while the...- kinley

Undergrad Iron core energy change and transformers vs. ohms law
You can say that I am a complete beginner when it comes to physics. This query by Order made me curious and I did some research on the subject. I was able to find out that the best way to conserve energy is by putting an iron core inside a coil that is carrying current. By doing so we will be...- kinley

Graduate The Fine Structure Constant and Hawking Radiation
I found the post really informative. I have always been fascinated by black holes. The general view is that they are formed as a result of gravitational collapse of heavy objects such as stars. Stephen Hawking has provided us a lot of information about black holes and their characteristics. His...- kinley
