I got into a little debate about the nature of a problem where you put a giant solenoid around the equator of Mars to give it a magnetic field (not my idea, I like futuristic things but... there are probably better things to worry about). Anyways, I got into a debate about the effect of the...

I'm trying to use a solenoid to measure the magnetocaloric effect of dysprosium. The effect is highest at the Neel temp which is down near 180K. I have a solenoid in a cryostat to get the correct temperature. The cryostat's heat exchanger is made of a thick copper cylinder and I think it is...

In my lab we are working with a Coaxial coil and stainless steel tube, and are aiming to find the mutual Inductance. I've done some looking around and have easily found the Inductance of a Coaxial cable, and for that of Coaxial coils, but am having trouble with a combination of the two. The...

As we know, work done by an outside agency in creating some current ''I" in an inductor 'L' is 1/2LI2. Now this result is derived by quasistatic approximation if I am not wrong. Now, I am assuming that in non quasistatic (real) scenarios, the work done by outside agency would be different(If you...

What do you reckon, is it henrys or henries?

If a current flows in a straight wire, a certain amount of magnetic flux will be generated around it. Now suppose I put an iron tube around the wire (but don't change the current). I know the inductance will increase, but is that because more total flux is now being generated, or is the total...

Hi all How is the inductance affected when the transformer core has reached saturation? I can not seem to get my head around it, and I hope someone can help me understand it, thanks. Kind wishes

i was reading about CSI and the first paragaph said "A constant current source is assumed here, which may be realized by using an inductance of suitable value, which must be high, in series with the current limited dc voltage source. " and it says nothing else about it , so clearly it's a basic...

Hi, say for example we have a magnetic core with a coil wound around, and if we introduce an airgap (i.e. increasing the reluctance), how is inductance reduced? I read on some forum (see source below) that inductance scale inversely with reluctance. So I do not have the mental picture of why...

Hi, I'm wondering if a solenoid is only hot by copper resistance or in addition with the inductance produced into the coil too ? Another small question : in the sofware Femm there is a computing result parameter called "voltage drop"; does it means you need ( at least ) x volt to get the...

Hello! Recently I was going through some old exams and upon encountering this problem (which seemed pretty easy) I got stuck. Exams at my university are composed of individual tasks, each having three subquestions with four plausible answers respectively. Solution sheet gives results only, so...

Hi. Inductance and capacitance have many analogies, both conceptually and formally. A capacitor connected to a voltage source carries the charge ##Q=C\cdot V##. The analogous equation for inductance is ##n\cdot \Phi=L\cdot I##. Charge is physical, it's proportional to the number of excess...

Hi. Some laptop or mobile phone chargers still work for a couple of seconds after being unplugged. I've also seen similar behaviour with the standby lights of monitors, TVs and other devices after they are disconnected from power. Is this due to self-inductance in the transformer? If so: If...

The potential difference across an inductor is supposed to be zero, but a voltmeter measures it to be L*dI/dt. Also, if the p.d is zero then the electric field in the wires of the coil will be zero and in that case, why should charges flow at all? What am I missing?
