Current distribution in resonant mode for an anapole resonator

Thread starter yefj
Start date Jul 16, 2025

AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on optimizing the current distribution in an anapole resonator, specifically addressing the challenge of achieving a more homogeneous magnetic field across a narrowing bridge. As the bridge width decreases, the current becomes more uniform, but the user seeks methods to center the current more effectively. Suggestions for improving current homogeneity include adjusting the resonator design and exploring different materials or configurations. The user has also provided a video to illustrate the current distribution issues. The goal is to enhance the magnetic field uniformity during resonance.

Hello, I am building an anapole resonator as shown below.for wide 50uX25u bridge we have a current going into two separated streams on the sides of the bridge.

but as the bridge gets thinner the current is much more homogeneos(and so is the magnetic field) over this bridge as shown below
How can I make on this resonance the current (magnetic field be more homogeneous over the bridge.
I have made also a video shown below. Is there a way to make the current centerend in the middle?
Thanks.

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
