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

Click For 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.

It is consequence of the charge conservation law [consequence of Maxwell's Equations...] that in differential form is written as...

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

Kind regards

Thread 'Significant figures for inherently bound values'

I have been insisting to my statistics students that for probabilities, the rule is the number of significant figures is the number of digits past the leading zeros or leading nines. For example to give 4 significant figures for a probability: 0.000001234 and 0.99999991234 are the correct number of decimal places. That way the complementary probability can also be given to the same significant figures ( 0.999998766 and 0.00000008766 respectively). More generally if you have a value that...
