Getting E-Field from magnetic field intensity, H

AI Thread Summary
To find the electric field E from the given magnetic field intensity H, the relationship B = μH is used, followed by taking the time derivative to obtain -∂B/∂t. The discussion suggests applying Stokes's theorem to "uncurl" the electric field E from the derived quantity. It is noted that problems involving calculus, particularly those from Calc 3, may be more suited for advanced physics discussions rather than introductory physics. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the mathematical relationships between electromagnetic fields.

Homework Statement


Given the magnetic field intensity, H, find E.
H=\hat{y}6cos(2z)sin((2x10^7)t - 0.1x)


Homework Equations


\nabla \times E = \frac{- \partial B}{\partial t}


The Attempt at a Solution


Since we have H, we can use the relationship that \muH = B and then take the partial derivative of that with respect to time. That would give us this quantity...

\frac{- \partial B}{\partial t}

Now, how do I get to E-field from that? How do you "uncurl" that?

You could use Stokes's theorem to "uncurl" E. Do you see where it's headed?

Also, just to help you out in the future, anything with Calc 3 doesn't really belong in intro physics, and you may be helped quicker in advanced physics for questions like this.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging 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...
