Change Field Magnetic Magnetic field Rotate Solenoid

AI Thread Summary

Rotating a solenoid along the x-axis will cause the magnetic field to also rotate in the same direction. The orientation of the solenoid before rotation is crucial to understanding the resulting magnetic field changes. If the solenoid is aligned along a different axis, the rotation will affect the field's direction accordingly. Clarifying the solenoid's initial position helps in predicting the magnetic field's behavior during the rotation. Understanding these dynamics is essential for applications in electromagnetism and related fields.

If I do the x-axis rotation for a solenoid, how will the magnetic field change? Would it also rotate along x axis?

Which way is the solenoid pointing, before you rotate?

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...

Thread 'Why measure the speed of light in one direction?'

It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
