Can Natural Magnets Effectively Manipulate Plasma in a Vacuum?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on an experiment aimed at testing the effectiveness of natural magnets in manipulating plasma within a vacuum. The experiment involves ionizing gas in a vacuum tube using electromagnetic waves, specifically microwaves or ultraviolet radiation. The individual seeks input from the community to refine their approach, emphasizing a personal interest in the topic rather than a need for homework assistance. However, some participants criticize the lack of a specific question and suggest that the experimenter should conduct preliminary research. Engaging with existing literature may enhance the experiment's design and outcomes.

I am attempting to devise an experiment to test exactly how successfully plasma can be manipulated by a natural magnet. Ideally, the gas to be ionized would be isolated in a vacuum tube, where it would be subjected to easily producible electromagnetic waves, either microwaves or ultraviolet radiation. Now, while I could do a series of smaller experiments to determine which combination of waves and gas to use, I know how to internet and I love people, so I am asking you. And no, I'm not some kid asking for homework help. I just do this stuff just for fun.

Thread 'Maxwell stress tensor'

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...
