Thank you for your analysis Cryo! In electromagnetic simulation packages the Maxwell Stress Tensor is industry standard to calculate torques but from your answer I feel you are saying that Torques shouldn't be able to be calculated from the Maxwell Stress Tensor. Do I understand you correctly...
Hello!
I was talking with a friend today about electrical motors and we started talking about theoretical designs. One question came up which was could the Maxwell Stress Tensor be used to calculate the torque on a rotor of a motor where the airgap is held constant and the magnetic circuit...
