Help calculating the current from the density and a rotating frame

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the current \( I(t) \) from a given current density \( \mathbf{J} = J_0 \mathbf{x}^\Lambda \) in a rotating frame defined by the surface vector \( \mathbf{A} = A_0 (\cos(\omega t) \mathbf{x}^\Lambda + \sin(\omega t) \mathbf{y}^\Lambda) \). The user attempts to compute the current using the integral \( I = \int \mathbf{J} \cdot d\mathbf{A} \) but seeks clarification on the mathematical execution. The consensus is to integrate the current density function with respect to time \( t \) in the x-direction, as the current density does not have a y-component.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of vector calculus and surface integrals
  • Familiarity with current density concepts in electromagnetism
  • Knowledge of rotating frames in physics
  • Basic proficiency in calculus, particularly integration techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Study vector calculus, focusing on surface integrals and their applications
  • Review current density and its implications in electromagnetism
  • Learn about rotating frames and their effects on physical quantities
  • Practice integration techniques, particularly in the context of time-dependent functions
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics, particularly those studying electromagnetism and dynamics, as well as anyone needing to understand the implications of current density in rotating frames.

Thread moved from the technical forums and poster has been reminded to show their work
hi need help in physics HW:
given current density [J][/→]=[J][/0][x][/Λ]
and rotating frame with given surface vector:
$$ A^→ = A_0(cos(wt)x^Λ + sin(wt)y^Λ$$
in need to calculate I(t)
i tried
I = ∫J*dA
but i don't know i to technically do the math
please help me

Could you elaborate - it's not so clear what problem you actually want to solve! First off, what does the configuration look like?
 
Hi there. Rewrite your current density function to make it clearer.

Going off of what you've written, it looks like you would integrate your current density function with respect to "t" in the "x" direction since there is not a "y" direction in your current density function.
