    Are the poles of a broken magnet always the same?

    Hi, Recently I came across an annular permanent magnet (round magnet with a hole in it) which had fallen and broken in half, effectively forming two horse-shoe magnets. I noticed that the two halves had similar poles: |---------- S S-------- | | |...

    Understanding the Relationship Between Poles, Zeros, and Bode Plots

    Hello all. I have two questions. 1] How do poles and zeros relate to bode plots? What happens at a pole or zero? 2] Can you come up with a rough sketch of a bode plot if you know the following (without having to use the transfer function)?: - Zeros - Poles...

    Magnet through a copper coil - What if poles rotated 90 degress

    I was wondering what voltage or current, if any, would be produced if the basic magnet through a copper coil experiment had the poles rotated 90 degress so north and south faced the top/bottom of the coil rather than the entry/exit points? The attached image has a basic illustration of this...

    About propagator and poles in QFT

    Hi all, I am studying QFT using John Preskill's notes. I have a question about the propagator and poles. On page 2.91, at the bottom, he said that there is a s-channel pole, which is the pole of the exact propagator. Then he claimed that by the argument about unitarity in page 2.70, the pole...

    Understanding the Role of Poles in the Propagator for Massive Vector Fields

    Hi! From "Le Bellac, Quantum and statistical field theory, 10.5.2-Massive vector field": "The longitudinal part of the propagator k_{\mu}D^{\mu\nu} has no pole at k^2=m^2, so the longitudinal part doesn't constitute a dynamical degree of freedom." I have two questions: 1) Why the propagator...

    Significance of number of magnetic poles in ac generator

    Are protons/neutrons magnetic? (Do they have North and South poles?)

Which is it, the...

    How is the residue computed for a simple pole in the book on prime numbers?

    my book on prime numbers has a line where it skims over a residue computation, and I am in dire need of clarification.

    Why Poles move to LOWER Half Plane

    Pretty simple question here guys, but I can't get my head around it. When solving say, the Greens Function for the driven harmonic oscillator, one needs to use the Residue method of integration. So, one adds a complex quantity to your variable w (angular frequency), so we now have w ---> w +...
