    Cross Del
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between the curl of the magnetic field and current density in electromagnetism. The user questions whether the equation del x dB/dt = mu dJ/dt holds true given del x B = mu J. A response confirms that this equality is valid because derivatives with respect to independent variables can be interchanged. The clarification helps the user understand the reasoning behind the equation. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the commutative property of derivatives in the context of electromagnetic equations.

Homework Statement


I have to do an E&M problem, I think I got it, but I made a few steps that I don't really understand. The first one is:

If delxB= muJ
Does
del x dB/dt = mu dJ/dt ??
If so, why ?

I tried using latex, but it didn't work...sorry :(

hi miew! :smile:

(have a del: ∇ and a curly d: ∂ and a mu: µ :wink:)

yes, because derivatives wrt independent variables always commute (ie you can always change the order) …

∂2/∂x∂t = ∂2/∂t∂x :wink:
 
Thanks ! that makes sense :)
 

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...
