I don't totally trust to some argument in theories about The Earth Magnetism. That's why I keep researching. I find interested with this forum, that's why I join. Although I join to offer nothing at the moment, but hope to offer something in future. Currently I enjoy with reading your...

I am told that in ferromagnets, time reversal symmetry is broken. However, I don't know any hamiltonian terms in solid that can break time reversal symmetry. So is there a hamiltonian term I don't know or is there any subtlety in ferromagnets?

Guys, I'm having trouble with some concepts on the Biot-Savart Law. Lots of texts compare this law with Coulomb Law, but doesn't affirm that B-S is only applicable on a static case (constant current). What are the real physical conditions in which Biot-Savart Law can be directly applied? Does it...

Curie temperature for magnetite is 858 C, for iron 1043 C. Duralumin melting point is about 630 C. Does this mean that if I take a small silicone mold, place a magnet underneath it, add ferromagnetic powder to the mold and then pour molten aluminum in, I will get the aluminum detail with...

In chapter 5 of Purcell's Electricity and Magnetism, he shows using principles of special relatives that the magnetic force of a current carrying wire on a moving charge is equivalent to the charge experiencing an electric force in its own frame of reference. His argument is that when the...

I'm reading how a charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force (called magnetic force). I understand that it moves the particle in a certain direction and because the greatest force is experienced when the magnetic field is perpendicular to the particle's velocity vector...

I know this question has been beaten to death, but I haven't seen a response that clearly (to me) answers the following: 1. Magnetic fields *can do work* on intrinsic dipoles, right? (e.g. two electrons can do work on one another via their intrinsic spin). 2. Magnetic materials can do work on...
