    Energy Solenoid
AI Thread Summary
To determine the energy usage of a lateral solenoid based on its length and diameter, users seek online calculators that can provide this information. Energy loss due to resistance and heat is a concern, as solenoids can act like a dead short in a coil. Increasing wire diameter reduces resistance but may affect the solenoid's speed and strength. Users express confusion over terms like "Permeability," "Magnetic B-field," and "Inductance," which are crucial for understanding solenoid functionality. Additionally, there is a question about whether a magnet will continue to accelerate through a coil.

Sorry to bring this up again but is there any way of telling how much energy a solenoid will use for a lateral solenoid for a given length and diameter. Is there an online calculator?

I'm interested to know how much energy is lost in the form of resistance/heat as my understanding of how they work is that they are basically a dead short in a coil? If you increase the diameter of the wire I know resistance will drop but I imagine this will impact on the speed/strength of the solenoid? Thanks

Thread 'Off resonance driving of a MW/RF cavity'

Hello! Let's say I have a cavity resonant at 10 GHz with a Q factor of 1000. Given the Lorentzian shape of the cavity, I can also drive the cavity at, say 100 MHz. Of course the response will be very very weak, but non-zero given that the Loretzian shape never really reaches zero. I am trying to understand how are the magnetic and electric field distributions of the field at 100 MHz relative to the ones at 10 GHz? In particular, if inside the cavity I have some structure, such as 2 plates...
