Calculating Induced Magnetic Moment of Steel | Step-by-Step Guide

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the induced magnetic moment of steel in an applied magnetic field, one typically estimates magnetization using susceptibility. The specific approach can vary based on the type of steel and whether the context is classical electrodynamics or advanced physics. For introductory levels, it's suggested to consider classical methods, where the magnetization curve may be relevant due to potential hysteresis effects in the material. Understanding the specific type of steel is crucial for accurate calculations. This discussion emphasizes the importance of context in determining the appropriate method for calculating induced magnetic moments.

Excuse me, can anyone teach me how to calculate the induced magnetic moment of steel, given the applied magnetic field?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Can you give us the background for this question ? Is it for a class - if so, what grade/level ?
 
Thx for answreing.
I think this is a University question...
 
That's not enough because the answer varies depending on what approach you take on the problem. Is this in context of classical electrodynamics or condensed matter physics? Intro or advanced(graduate level)?
 
It is only at introductory level.

Please concern it as easy as possible, classical electrodynamics I think.
 
Typically, you can estimate the magnetization from the susceptibility. But depending on the material (kind of steel) the hysteresis might ne large enough that you'd want to refer to a magnetization curve to determine the induced magnetization at a given field.

Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'

Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.

Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (Second part)'

I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...
