Mutual Inductance: Rectangle w/ Variable Height

AI Thread Summary
To find the mutual inductance of a rectangle with a variable height, it is suggested to analyze the shape by dividing it into two squares of different heights. The complexity of calculating inductance for single-turn loops or coils is highlighted, noting that it often requires approximations based on wire diameter and loop dimensions. The discussion emphasizes that this problem may exceed typical undergraduate coursework in electromagnetics. Visual aids, such as drawings of the shape, are recommended to clarify the problem. Ultimately, a thorough understanding of inductance calculations is necessary to approach this problem effectively.

Homework Statement


I have a shape that is basically a rectangle but one side increase in height(shape length is L and it increases height at L/2). Which leaves me with two squares of different heights. Can I find the mutual inductance of each square and then add them up to find the inductance of the entire shape?

Homework Equations


It's just a question.

Could you draw the shapes and upload it here? Maybe you can use paint or you can draw it on paper and upload its image.
 
Finding the inductance of single-turn loops or coils is extremely difficult, is always an approximation, depends on the wire diameter as well as loop dimensions, and is well beyond the scope of even an undergraduate course in electromagnetics.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
