Magnetic field intensity problem

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a question regarding the correct expression for the differential length element (dl) in a magnetic field intensity problem. The original poster suggests that dl should be expressed as (l/N) dz instead of (N/l) dz. Participants clarify that the magnetic field H is measured in amp-turns per meter and relate the pitch (n) to the number of turns (N) and length (l) with the equation n = N/l. The conversation concludes with the original poster expressing understanding of the clarification provided.

Hi everyone here, hope you enjoying this summer ..

i'm taking ' elements of electromagnetic ' course this summer session and i just have a little question here



in the yellow shaded statement

shouldn't it be dl = (l/N) dz instead of dl=(N/l) dz ?

By the way, it's not a HW question .

Thanks

The magnetic field H (or magnetic moment density) is measured in units of amp-turns per metre (A.m-1) …

current (I) times pitch (n), ie current times number-of-turns per length

n is the pitch, N is the number of turns, l is the length: n = N/l :wink:

Thanks tiny-tim

i got it ! :)
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
