AI Thread Summary
Charge induction in covalent solids like sand and zeolite is questioned, particularly in relation to their ability to hold or transfer charge. The discussion references the behavior of materials when rubbed, similar to the glass rod and fur example. Participants express confusion over the responses and seek clarity on the topic. The conversation highlights the need for specific examples and explanations regarding charge induction in these materials. Overall, the feasibility of charge induction in covalent solids remains unclear and requires further elaboration.

You'll have to be specific.
 
i'm specific with covalent solids

I'm glad someone is ... but I answered your question and you responded incoherently.
Was the answer really so surprising? Do you not understand it? Was there something wrong?
Or was the answer so great that you just had to type out an orgasmic "whaaaaaat..."?

I don't see how any of these could apply so you will have to tell me if you want to be clear.
 

Thread 'Maxwell stress tensor'

This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...

Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'

Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
