    Coils Force
AI Thread Summary
To calculate the mutual force between two coaxial coils, one must consider the magnetic fields generated by each coil and their interaction. The force can be determined using the mutual inductance formula and the currents flowing through the coils. The direction of the force will depend on the relative orientations of the currents; in this case, they flow in the same direction, indicating an attractive force. Additionally, the distance X at which this force is maximized can be derived from the relationship between the coils' parameters and their mutual inductance. Understanding these principles is essential for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement



In a compact cicrcualr coil "A" (radius R= 25cm),formed by N=150 loops of wire, flows I=10A current.
There's another compact circular coil "B" over "A"(radius r= 1.5 cm, loops n= 30) coaxial with "A" distant X ,in which i= 4A flows .
in the same direction of "I" (look at the image).

Calculate the mutual force between the two coils, and is it repulsive or attractive ?
Calculate X value when the force is Maximum.

HELP ME I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SOLVE IT...sorry for the translation English isn't my mother tongue. I already posted it in the advanced phys section but maybe this is the right section...

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

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'

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...
