What are the best resources for learning about E&M as a beginner?

In summary, the conversation discusses the result of electrical flow or magnetic strength when an insulated copper coil is wound around a piece of copper pipe for research purposes. It is established that there would be no difference for a stationary (DC) field and that a charge is not picked up on the pipe due to a magnetic field. The conversation also touches upon the fact that copper is not ferrous and that charges are influenced by the Lorentz force, which depends on the magnetic and electric fields and the velocity vector of the charge. The speaker also mentions that they are studying physics as a hobby and would appreciate any recommendations for sources to build their fundamentals in E&M.

No difference for a stationary (DC) field.
 
  • #3
Is a charge picked up on the pipe because of the present magnetic field?

No, copper is not ferrous, AFAIK. And charges are not "picked up" because of a magnetic field. Charges are influenced by the Lorentz force, which depends on the magnetic and electric fields and the velocity vector of the charge.

What level are you studying physics at right now? We should be able to suggest some reading that will help you build your fundamentals in E&M. :smile:

No level at the moment, I'm just discovering Curiosities as I dabble around with low voltages. May

this is a hobby for me.

I would say I am a beginner with some general knowledge, and that this is more of a hobby for me right now but. If you could Recommend some Sources that would be awesome.

What is a copper core copper coil?

A copper core copper coil is a type of electromagnetic coil made of a copper wire wrapped around a core made of copper. This type of coil is commonly used in various electrical and electronic devices as it has excellent conducting properties and can withstand high temperatures.

How does a copper core copper coil work?

A copper core copper coil works by creating an electromagnetic field when an electric current is passed through it. This field can then be used to generate motion, heat, or other electrical effects depending on the application of the coil.

What are the advantages of using a copper core copper coil?

There are several advantages to using a copper core copper coil. Firstly, copper is an excellent conductor of electricity, making the coil highly efficient. Additionally, copper has a high melting point and good resistance to corrosion, making it durable and long-lasting. Lastly, using a copper core copper coil allows for better heat dissipation, reducing the risk of overheating.

What are the common uses of a copper core copper coil?

A copper core copper coil has a wide range of applications in various industries. It is commonly used in transformers, motors, generators, and other electrical devices. It is also used in telecommunications, medical equipment, and scientific instruments.

How do you maintain a copper core copper coil?

To maintain a copper core copper coil, it is important to regularly inspect it for any signs of damage or wear. If any issues are found, it should be repaired or replaced immediately. It is also important to keep the coil clean and free of dust and debris, as this can affect its performance. Properly storing the coil and protecting it from extreme temperatures and moisture can also help prolong its lifespan.
