    Angle Law Sign
AI Thread 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?

Please explain what you are trying to calculate. Where did you get that formula?
 

Thread 'Maxwell stress tensor'

This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...

Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'

Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
