    Infinite wire carrying current, magnetic field

    ohhh, so basically i am just solving maxwell's eq, so do i just use the net length on the attachment i came up with and just multiply it by mu_0 = 4pi*10^-7, to get the answer I'm looking for?

    Induced current and voltage, magnetism

    oh so magnetic flux = [integral(BdA)] where B is magnetic field, dA is change in area in part a, the area does not change, correct? so dA = 0, thus magnetic flux is zero, correct? you mention that the flux is changing, I'm confused, could you explain further? if flux is changing, i need to use...

    Loop and solenoid, find the current

    Homework Statement a single loop is placed deep within a 4 meter long solenoid having a total number of turns equal to 40000. the loop has an area od 0.01m^2 and it carries a current of 20 ampere. the loop is oriented so that the torque on the loop is a maximum with a magnitude of pi*10^-4...

    Induced current and voltage, magnetism

    since for part a, the length of the square is given to be 3cm, than the area would be 9cm^2, or 0.09m^2. if i use " V = (A)dB/dt" ---> V = 0.09(0.3)/dt is this what you mean? how do i get time, is it related to the frequency i found in the original post?

    Magnetic force, finding angle between velocity and magnetic field

    oh you a right, that equation was right in front of me, must've forgotten. F = qvB sin(theta) --> find theta 2*10^-6 = (3*10^-6)(10)(0.3i -0.4j) sin(theta) sin(theta) = (2*10^-6)/(9*10^-6i - 1.2*10^-5j) theta = inverse sine [(2*10^-6)/(9*10^-6i - 1.2*10^-5j)] theta = inverse...

    Current on wire, three axes, magnetic force

    the determinant trick involves matrices correct? i think i know how to do that, could you explain the right hand rule a little more, having a little trouble visualizing.

    Infinite wire carrying current, magnetic field

    calef, i think you may be right, i think i should actually be solving for [integral(Bdl)] as opposed to [integral(BdI)]. even still, i may have written/used the wrong terms on the attachment to indicate path length, i used radii. anyways, did i determine the path length correctly? i used simple...

    Infinite wire carrying current, magnetic field

    couldn't edit the original post, i am supposed to get " mu_0(I) " for the final answer, where mu_0 is a constant = 4pi*10^-7, and I is the current(a constant) *******problem is to solve [integral(Bdl)] not [integral(BdI)], path length not current --> thanks calef/mindscrape

    Finite wire in magnetic field, determine time and electric potential

    how do you know that positive charges pile up on the right side of the wire? isn't the magnetic force qv X B = qvBsin(theta), not qvB or are you assuming theta = 90 degrees? so since E = vB ---> V = EL (which equation is this?) --> V = vBL where V = 98 volts, B = 4 Teslas, L = 0.3 meters, then...
