Direction of Current in a Coil with Magnetism: Double Checking

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on verifying the direction of current in a coil influenced by magnetism. The left side of the coil is identified as North, while the right side is South. Participants agree that the arrows indicating current direction should point upward in the center of the coil. This confirmation is crucial for understanding electromagnetic principles. The accuracy of these directional indicators is essential for solving related problems in physics.

The Attempt at a Solution


I just wanted to double check my answer on this:

Left side of the coil is North
Right side of the coil is South
The arrows that indicate the direction of the current should be facing up in the center of the coil

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
