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.

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

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
