    Angle Law Sign
Click For Summary
Bio Savar's law is utilized to calculate the intensity of the magnetic induction vector, with R representing the distance from the wire to the point of interest. The discussion seeks clarity on determining the sign of angles in this context, specifically identifying which angles are considered positive or negative. Participants are encouraged to explain their calculations and the sources of their formulas. A general rule for angle signs in magnetic fields is requested. Understanding these aspects is essential for accurate application of Bio Savar's law.

Hello everyone. I use Bio Savar's law to determine the intensity of the magnetic induction vector.

I use this formula
formula.PNG

R is distance of wire from point in which I calculate intensity of the magnetic induction.

How can I known which angle is positive and which angle is negative from this two angles.Which is a general rule?

Thread 'What determines if wave components are independent vs coherent?'

I'm working through something and want to make sure I understand the physics. In a system with three wave components at 120° phase separation, the total energy calculation depends on how we treat them: If coherent (add amplitudes first, then square): E = (A₁ + A₂ + A₃)² = 0 If independent (square each, then add): E = A₁² + A₂² + A₃² = 3/2 = constant In three-phase electrical systems, we treat the phases as independent — total power is sum of individual powers. In light interference...
