MHB How the charge is conserved in a closed loop circuit?

AI Thread Summary
Charge conservation in a closed loop circuit is governed by the charge conservation law, which is a consequence of Maxwell's Equations. In differential form, this law is expressed as the equation ∇·J = -∂ρ/∂t, indicating that the divergence of current density (J) is equal to the negative rate of change of charge density (ρ) over time. This relationship ensures that charge does not accumulate in a closed circuit, maintaining a constant flow of charge. The discussion emphasizes the fundamental principles of electromagnetism that underpin the behavior of electric circuits. Understanding this conservation principle is crucial for analyzing circuit dynamics.

$\displaystyle \nabla\ J = - \frac{\partial \rho}{\partial t}\ (1)$

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
