Energy stored in the magnetic field of two inductors

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the energy stored in the magnetic field of two solenoids, A and B, with different numbers of loops and currents. Solenoid A has 400 loops and a current of 3.5 amps, producing a self-flux of 300 microWebers and a mutual flux of 90 microWebers on solenoid B, which has 700 loops. The participant is unsure how to apply the formula for energy stored in a magnetic field due to a lack of information on self-inductance and its relationship to mutual induction. They express confusion about whether the energy formula for self-inductors applies when induction is influenced by another coil. The discussion highlights the complexities of inductance calculations in coupled systems.

Homework Statement


Two solenoids on the same cylindrical axis
Solenoid A has 400 loops and a current of 3,5 amp. Produces a flux of 300microWb on itself and 90 microWb on solenoid B
Solenoid B has 700 loops

Homework Equations


Calculate the energy stored in the system.

The Attempt at a Solution


Well, I know that the energy stored in magnetic field equals the square of the field over two times mu zero, but that's not the case here since I don't have the field.
I also know that for a self-inductor the energy stored equals to the square of the current times the self induction over two.
I believe I need to use that last equation, but as I don't understand where it comes from I don't know what to put as self-induction, or if it works also when the induction is produced by another coil.

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

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...

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 .
