Is the magnetic field change linear with the velocity change of a particle?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on whether the magnetic field strength at the center of a ring of negatively charged particles changes linearly with their velocity. As the particles' velocity increases from 0% to 75% of the speed of light, the magnetic field is suggested to be a function of their velocity. Participants express uncertainty about the nature of this relationship, indicating that the magnetic field likely varies with particle speed. The inquiry highlights the need for clarity on how velocity impacts magnetic field strength in this specific scenario. Overall, the relationship between particle velocity and magnetic field strength remains a topic of exploration.

I have a question,if you have X number of
negatively charged particles revolling uniformaly in a ring with radius
R, is there linear change in magnetic field strength at the center
of the ring with respect to velocity change in the
charged particles, when the particles velocity
is changed from o% of c to 75% of c?

I am not sure! may be Magnetic field is the function of the Velocity of the particle and if so of course it changes :)
 
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...
