AI Thread Summary
To convert the permeability of free space from TA/m to gauss/emu, one must adjust the units of magnetic induction (B) and magnetic field intensity (H). The conversion factors are 1 Wb/m² = 10^4 gauss and 1 A-turn/m = 4π x 10^-3 oersted. The permeability of free space is defined as μ₀ = 4π x 10^-7 henry/m. When applying these conversions, it is confirmed that μ₀ can be expressed as 4π emu*m/Acm³. This demonstrates the relationship between the two unit systems in electromagnetism.

for the permeabilty of space constant, how do you change the units from TA/m to gauss/emu? or for what unit does that constant equal 4pi?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The permeabilty of 'free' space, \mu = B/H,

so simply convert B and H from MKSA to esu/emu units.

For Magnetic Induction (B), 1 Wb/m2 = 104gauss, and
for Magnetic Field Intensity (H), 1 A-turn/m = 4\pix10-3oersted

In free space \mu_o = 4\pi x 10-7 henry/m.

See -- http://www.its.caltech.edu/~culick/Roschke.pdf
 
so it equals 4pi esu/emu ?
 
\mu_o=[4 x 10-7 W/Am]*[10^4 (gauss*m^2)/W]*[10^3 (emu/cm^3)]=4pi emu*m/Acm^3?
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
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 .
