AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a tutorial using FEMM, where the Laplace equation for the field is not explicitly provided, raising questions about its necessity. Despite the absence of the equation, the simulation appears to be functioning correctly. The tutorial emphasizes that the physics specification, including the PDE to solve, was addressed earlier in the design process. Users are encouraged to refer to the FEMM user manual for further clarification on the magnetostatic problem. Understanding the context of the simulation may alleviate concerns about the missing Laplace equation.

I'm following this tutorial
I noticed that he provided the boundary values in FEMM but he didn't provide the Laplace equation ##\dfrac{\partial^2 V}{\partial x^2} + \dfrac{\partial^2 V}{\partial y^2} = 0## for the field but it is still corrected simulated?
or is it not necessary to provide it at all?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
See at 10:51ff: "The next step is to specify the physics [ie. tell it what PDE to solve]. That actually was our first step, when we created the design, we created the magnetostatic problem [at 3:26 in the first video of the series]."

The user manual for FEMM magnetics is here.
 

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
