Homework Statement The actual question was to somehow derive the expression for a magnetic field at the center of a current carrying loop. Homework Equations The Biot-Savart's law equation dB = (mu/4π)*(i dl x r)/r^3 (I'm not actually good at typing in the equations, so please just forgive...

Electrons have spin 1/2 and interact with a magnetic field. Since photons have spin 1, I suppose they also feels a force on a magnetic field. So that means that light can be deviated from its original path by a magnetic field?

A varying magnetic flux causes an induced voltage (according to Faraday-Lenz law) that generates a current that generates a magnetic field that generates another magnetic flux in the same circuit. Does the Faraday-Lenz law include this self induction? Or are they giving us a simplification in...

Magnetic field is created when electrons move in the conductor, as far as I know. In the electric circuit electrons move with a speed of few mm/s when the circuit is closed. So, if I took a piece of wire and moved it, would it generate magnetic field? I suspect not, but I am wondering what is...

Hello, First of all, this question does stem from graduate work, but it seems far too simple to tag "advanced". I am looking to write some code to simulate the force from a railgun. The first step in doing this (from a tutorial I found) is to find the magnetic field at any point within the...

So I am constructing an analogy between the self replicating fracturing effect on thin films and the path of a charged particle. (Qualitatively, several cracks have similar shapes to charged particle motion) I won't go into the details of the fracture mechanics, so I will only use E+M...

A charge moving relative to some observer produces magnetic field in space around it. Now I want to ask that how does the magnetic field of the charge at any fixed point varies as the charge passes by. Or is the B field only dependent on current and not a single moving charge? If I introduce...
