    U-shaped iron core with I-shaped iron core vs without

    I have two coils standing next to each other. One is connected to a power supply and the other one is connected to a lamp. When I put an I-shaped iron core through both coils the lamp shines brighter than without the iron core. The same thing happens when I use a U-shaped iron core. When I...

    Total reluctance in a magnetic core

    Homework Statement I am looking for a general explanation of when the total reluctance of a magnetic circuit is not equivalent to the sum of the reluctances if each area. In several examples the text has added 2 areas in parallel and then added the third area. I'm not 100% sure on when this is...

    Size/Mass of a planet needed in order to have a molten core or a magnetic field?

    How big does a planet have to be in order for it to have a molten core or a magnetic field? Assuming no other large objects were close enough to affect the planet with their own pull or magnetic field. I would imagine the composition/density of the planet would play a factor as well, but do we...

    Electromagnetic Induction Without Air Core

    Scientifically, it doesn't make sense why you can't just wind up wire without really much air in the middle. In order to get more wire closer to the magnetic flux, why wouldn't you just wind up the coil tighter? I keep seeing ferromagnetic or air cores. Why not a tightly would wire so more...

    Matter at the core of a neutron star.

    Hello. I am wondering what are the properties of matter at the core of a neutron star. I read that it could be quark matter of strange matter, but overall uncertain. How can strange matter form if strange quarks decay very quickly into up quarks (the state of matter would last very shortly), and...

    Can a star with a black hole core be stable?

    If a small black hole were to fall into a star or brown dwarf, presumably it would initiate accretion and fusion in a shell around it. Can such an object be stable over any decent timescale, or would it undergo variability/significant mass loss/supernova?
