Ok even though Vanadium recently asked me to stop this stupid way of learning something through asking the same questions , even though their not all the same , I'll try my cards with this one.Ok so we have fields like gravitational, electric and magnetic , now theoretically the fields don't...

Hey guys, I have recently performed a lab where we are to find the equation relating the magnetic field strength to a distance from a dipole in both the transverse and longitudinal direction. We did this using a Hall Effect Probe and a magnetic dipole. What I found after plotting a Log...

Hi, I have been reading about magnetic hysteresis and all sources refer to magnetic field strength (H) as having the units (A/m). Why is it just amps/meter and not ampere-turns/metre as H = NI/L and not N/L? Is there another equation for H that I am unaware of? Cheers.

Homework Statement Show that the transformation w = e^{z} + z maps the infinite lines y = \pm\pi into semi-infinite lines u \leq u_{0}, v = \pm\pi. This is equivalent to transforming an infinite or edgeless parallel-plate capacitor (z-plane) into a parallel plate capacitor (w-plane). Sketch...

Hello, Just want to check that I am calculating something correctly if this is ok; I did a tensile test with some rectangular stainless steel samples and got the resulting max force reached for each sample. if the max force experienced was 410N and the samples CSA is 2mm^2 then the...

Hi all, Does anyone know how the magnetic field strength of a superconductor varies as distance from the outside of the superconductor? Aside from a superconductor being able to creates a stronger magnetic field than a regular dipole, does the strength still go down as 1/r^2 or does it...

(Sorry for the typo in the title. I don't know how to get rid of it) Recently I was looking at the Lorentz co-variance of F=dA (the Faraday 2-form) and *F=*dA (the Maxwell 2-form). I realized that Lorentz co-variance implies that the electric field strength and magnetic field strength are...

"gravitational field strength" Hi all, I've been reading some lecture notes by G. t'Hooft, available from http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~hooft101/lectures/genrel_2010.pdf On page 12, t'Hooft is discussing the Rindler space of an observer using co-ordinates \xi^{\mu} with constant...

1. The problem is in the attachments. 2. Field strength is equal to voltage divided by distance 3. I want to make sure that i understand a few things before i solve this problem! i would like to know your opinion! a) first, field strength is inversely proportional to the the distance squared...

First please forgive my general lack of intelligence of this matter. I am a saxophone player looking to help new sax players and need some expertise for a training aid I'd like to create. On a saxophone, a player blows air through a mouthpiece creating a sound wave. The very tip of the...

I understand that a cylinder oriented vertically and bearing a load can be made more resistant to buckling by adding pressure to the (closed) cylinder. For example, an unopened can of soda pop can bear much more load than an opened soda pop can (I found a youtube video showing an unopened can...

Hello, i try to prove that ∂μFμ\nu + ig[Aμ, Fμ\nu] = [Dμ,Fμ\nu] with the Dμ = ∂μ + igAμ but i have a problem with the term Fμ\nu∂μ ... i try to demonstrate that is nil, but i don't know if it's right... Fμ\nu∂μ \Psi = \int (∂\nuFμ\nu) (∂μ\Psi) + \int Fμ\nu∂μ∂\nu \Psi = (∂\nuFμ\nu) [\Psi ]∞∞...

hello everyone! so as the title suggest, i wonder if anyone would have any idea to design a simple experiment to determine the bending strength and torsion of a plastic ruler. it doesn't need to be extensive, as the value of the strenght itself isn't important. i just want to know e.g how...

I realize atoms are held together by STRONG electromagnetism, but if you were to convert this energy into an everyday scenario, how strong would it really be? I'm trying to explain the power behind a small atom and I feel using a 'real', known object. Thank you in advance for any answers.

Is it the value of the metric tensor that determines the strength of a gravitational field at a specific point in spacetime?

I have built a new electromagnet, my second one so far, in an attempt to make it better. I am trying to find its strength, whether that be in tesla, holding force (kg) or whatever other units there are, just so I can compare it with other magnets. What I have is a steel bolt wrapped with...

Hi. I'm reading about non-abelian theories and have thus far an understanding that a gauge invariant Lagrangian is something to strive for. I previously thought that the Yang-Mills gauge boson free field term ##-1/4 F^2 ## was gauge invariant, but now after realizing that the field strength...

If magnetic charges existed, would the strength of the field be the same as a electric charge? Would you be able to plug it into the equation of coulomb's law? If so, what would the constant be? The same?

So let's say I'm computing the torque as a result of the interaction between two electric dipoles in the lab frame. Let's imagine they are in some electric field. I then do : τ = r×F If I now switch to the centre of mass frame I have to find their position vectors from the COM. Why do...
