Magnetic & Electric Fields: A Cycle of Change?

AI Thread Summary
A changing magnetic field generates a non-conservative electric field, and if this magnetic field is accelerating, the electric field must also change. This relationship implies that a changing electric field can produce a magnetic field. The discussion highlights that this interaction can continue indefinitely, depending on the order of the derivative involved. An example given is B=e^t, illustrating the principles of electromagnetic waves. The conversation emphasizes the interconnected nature of electric and magnetic fields in electromagnetic theory.

A changing magnetic field creates a non conservative electric field. If the changing magnetic field is accelerating(2nd derivative in non-zero) the electric field must also be changing. Would this mean that the changing electric field is producing a magnetic field.

Depending on the order of derivative this could continue indefinitely.

B=e^t for example...

Sure, that's the way that electromagnetic waves work!
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
