    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

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 '3D rendering of electric field lines of a swiftly moving charge'

Happy holidays folks. So I spent some time over the Thanksgiving holidays and developed a program that renders electric field lines of swiftly moving charges according to the Liénard–Wiechert formula. The program generates static images based on the given trajectory of a charge (or multiple), and the images were compiled into a video that shows the animated field lines for harmonic movement and circular movement of a charge (or two charges). Video: The source code is available here...
