Circuit Diagram Electromagnet Symbol

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on the search for a circuit diagram symbol for an electromagnet. The original poster, Iceman123, inquires if the symbol is represented by a line with a coil around it. A response confirms that there is indeed a symbol for an electromagnet, specifically the solenoid symbol, and provides a link for reference. Iceman123 expresses gratitude for the information. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding electrical symbols in circuit diagrams.

Is there a circuit diagram symbol for an electromagnet? Am I correct in thinking that it is a line with a coil going round it? I have looked all over the web, and cannot find confirmation of this.
Thanks,
Iceman123

You will find a list of symbols, including one for an electromagnet (solenoid symbol) http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/symbol.htm" .

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 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
