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...

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 .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
