So which force is most valid for lateral force between conductors?

That is from here http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/magnetic/wirfor.html Each formula is from a different place. The only length I have is 'd' in the second formula. L' is inductance per length.

My apologies. I believe L' was not meant to be a derivative, just another variable separate from inductance. View it as a 'distributed inductance' along the conductor. For any length of the conductor, there is a certain inductance per meter. This is what L' is. The separation distance was not...

The equation I am using comes from that equation. The difference is L and L' The L in the energy equation is inductance (Henry) and the L' in the force equation I am using is inductance/distance (Henry/meter). So since Work or Energy = Force * Distance, Energy/Distance = Force. Does this make...

Hello, First of all I want to say that I am not an EE, I am an ME but I am working for an EE laboratory on campus and am trying to get a force from and electrical circuit on a project here. I am using the following equations: F = 1/2*L'*I^2 (where L' = H/m) and F =...

In our text which is what he references E' is something different: the elastic scattering energy Reference: This was mostly the same as our question: Question more involving E': I was using the E' formula for the first one because the formula the professor provided was: n =...

Hello, I just had a little debate with my professor after taking my final exam. He had given us an additional formula sheet at the last second (hand written on the projector) which confused me. The question was a 7 MeV neutron collides with several U-238 atoms before reaching 2 MeV. How many...

Thank you!

I feel like maybe the lab was designed to use even thicker Aluminum plates. I wish my scanner worked so I could post it here. My E value also has a huge 57.5% error. Experimental .2124 MeV vs True Value Sr-90 E of .546 MeV I may just have to roll with these numbers and say something was...

Hello, I'm working on a lab report centered on Beta decay and I am confused how absorber thickness is obtained. We used varying thickness aluminum plates spaced 2cm from a Sr-90 source taking measurements with an ST350 counter/GM tube/software. By my understanding the absorber thickness [g or...

Hello, I am a BSME senior with NE minor graduating in August 2019 from UTA. I am very interested in fusion power, space travel, and electrical engineering (lol). I almost wish I had picked EE instead of ME. It's more interesting to me. I just joined an EE student and together we are building a...
