    Force on a shrinking circular loop in a constant B field

    1. A conducting loop is shrinking in a constant ##\vec{B}##-field that is perpendicular to the loop-axis. The radius of the loop is given by ##r(t)=r_{0}e^{-at}##. The resistance in the loop is ##R(t)=2 \pi \rho r(t)##. What force is needed to keep the loop shrinking like this?2. Faraday's law...

    The solid angle equation for the magnetic field of a loop

    Background: Using Biot-Savart law we proved that for a closed loop with current ##I##, the magnetic field at a point P was equal to ##\vec{B}=-\frac{\mu_{0} I \nabla{\Omega}}{4 \pi}## where ##\Omega(x,y,z)## is a function of the position of P that represents the solid angle at which the loop is...

    How does the projective LQG approach shift the traditional formulation of LQG?

    A major change is happening in the way LQG is formulated. Suzanne Lanery gave a seminar about this 5 days ago (10 Dec) at Perimeter, and today she gave a similar talk at Nijmegen (Renate Loll's seminar). It's evident there is a lot of interest in this new development, which is based on the 11...
