Len'z law and a interesting video

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the behavior of a magnet falling through an aluminum cylinder, particularly in relation to Lenz's law. It questions whether the aluminum cylinder affects the speed of the magnet as it descends, suggesting that the magnet may slow down due to a repelling force. Participants are curious about the nature of this interaction and whether current is still induced in the aluminum cylinder while the magnet approaches it. The phenomenon raises interest in the principles of electromagnetic induction and the effects of conductive materials on magnetic fields. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for grasping the underlying physics of the scenario.

Please what this.
This video will describe Len'z law from 0:00 till 1:25
You can skip till 1:25 and see the interesting part to understand the following question.


* Is the aluminum cylinder pushing the magnet down with a higher or lower or the same speed at the initial speed passing only the copper pipe?
The guy says it pushes the magnet down so no details were given about the speed.
Why does this very interesting phenomena happen?!
And do you think when the magnet is approaching the aluminum cylinder its becoming slower and slower because a force is repelling in? Or nothing happens until the magnet passes the cylinder?!

Ow yea and do you think current is still induced with the presence of that aluminum cylinder?

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field propagation'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'A scenario of non-uniform circular motion'

(All the needed diagrams are posted below) My friend came up with the following scenario. Imagine a fixed point and a perfectly rigid rod of a certain length extending radially outwards from this fixed point(it is attached to the fixed point). To the free end of the fixed rod, an object is present and it is capable of changing it's speed(by thruster say or any convenient method. And ignore any resistance). It starts with a certain speed but say it's speed continuously increases as it goes...

Thread 'Do electron density waves accompany EM waves in coaxial cables?'

Maxwell’s equations imply the following wave equation for the electric field $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}}{\partial t^2} = \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}\nabla\rho+\mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf J}{\partial t}.\tag{1}$$ I wonder if eqn.##(1)## can be split into the following transverse part $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}_T-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}_T}{\partial t^2} = \mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf{J}_T}{\partial t}\tag{2}$$ and longitudinal part...
