    Maxwell equation at the surface of a conductor - paradox?

    Assume that we have a conductor of any shape, say a ball of copper. At electrostatic equilibrium, it is well known that the potential inside this conductor is constant, for otherwise free charges would move from points of highest potential to points of lowest potential (this includes the surface...

    Design 1.5 A Solenoid & Charge 1.5 V Battery

    Hey All, I'm trying to design a solenoid that would generate about minimum 1.6 A of current in order for me to charge up a 1.5 A 1.5 V battery. I already designed one which is about 10CM in length and unknown number of turns (as I used a drill to wind the coils around it. so I would guess its...
