Hi, I'm looking for a proof of faraday's law. This is the only page which gives a formal proof of it, but I do not understand the transformation from the first to the second step. It someone could help me out, I would appreciate it. Also, if someone could explain the opposite as well: how do you...
Hi guys, I'm looking for an equation and/or proof of the magnetic field produced inside a solenoid with a finite length (hence, it shouldn't just be "muNOT n I." For some reason I can't find a simple proof anywhere. I have no idea where to start. ampere's law obviously doesn't work, and that...
the electric field inside a solid charged conducting sphere is always zero for obvious reasons.
the electric field inside a solid uniformy charged nonconducting sphere is nonzero and varies at all points. since it's nonconducting, the electric field at a certain point still won't move...
Damn man, thanks. I wasn't sure b/c every time I asked my physics teacher, he kept coming up with weird explanations for it. It's funny how a little detail like that will completely throw you off.
Just as a follow up, for a frictional torque about the pivot, would the work be that force...

hey, maybe you should read what I'm asking. I know that angular momentum is conserved; I even stated that in the OP. My question is, once again, how angular velocity can increase if the net toque is zero and therefore angular acceleration is zero.
okay, i realize that the angular momentum of a moving point mass could be looked at about any point, and that angular momentum is conserved as long as no torque is acted on that point mass. but, something i don't understand is how, then, the angular velocity could increase if the moment of...
