    Normal Polarity
AI Thread Summary
In the discussion about the polarity of a solenoid, it is questioned whether both ends can be South poles under normal conditions. The Clock rule mentioned is not recognized in standard physics, leading to confusion. Participants agree that if both ends are identified as South poles, it raises the question of where the North pole is located. It is clarified that the North pole is typically found along the top portion of the solenoid's core. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding magnetic polarity in solenoids.

Homework Statement
I encountered the following question but by using Clock rule, both the ends are coming out to be South poles. Is this possible? If not, then what will be the polarity at both ends?
Relevant Equations
None

Yes. I don't recall ever hearing of such a Clock rule in physics. I do agree with you that both A and B are South magnetic poles.

Where is the North Pole or Poles? Along the top portion of solenoid's core.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
