B Can a time variable B field create

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between static and time-varying electric fields, emphasizing that a static electric field can exist alongside a time-varying magnetic field if the rate of change is constant. The electromagnetic field is described by Maxwell's equations, which include both dynamical laws and constraint equations like Faraday's Law and Gauss's Law for magnetic fields. Misinterpretations of Faraday's Law can lead to confusion regarding the nature of electromagnetic fields, particularly in how they relate to time-varying sources. The Jefimenko equations provide a clearer understanding by illustrating that local charge and current distributions are the true sources of electromagnetic fields. Overall, the complexities of these equations highlight the intricate nature of electromagnetic interactions.

A static E Field and vice Versa?
Or a time variable field created also another time variable Field?

Yes, provided the rate of change of one field is constant w.r.t. time.

The electromagnetic field is governed by the Maxwell equations. Written in terms of the usual three-vectors ##\vec{E}## and ##\vec{B}## (the electric and magnetic field components) there are four equations. Two of them are dynamical laws, describing the electromagnetic field as being caused by the charge and current distribution (i.e., on a fundamental level, by moving charged particles). The other two are constraint equations: One is Faraday's Law, and the other is Gauss's Law for the magnetic field:
$$\vec{\nabla} \times \vec{E}+\frac{1}{c} \partial_t \vec{B}=0, \quad \vec{\nabla} \cdot \vec{B}=0.$$
The first one is sometimes misunderstood in the way that a time-varying (it doesn't matter whether the change is linear with time or not, by the way) causes an electromagnetic vortex field. Also Faraday's Law looks like this, it's physically a bit misleading to think in such a way. It turns out, that when you mathematically follow this idea that the equations for the solutions of the Maxwell equations become pretty complicated and non-local.

On the other hand, there are the Jefimenko equations, which are nothing else than the retarded solution of the Maxwell equations, which clearly show that the true sources in the sense of a local field theory are the charge and current distribution. For more details, see also

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
