    Magnetism Tutorial
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the challenges of understanding magnetism, particularly in calculating the net force on a compass placed between multiple magnetic fields. The original poster struggles with applying the right-hand rule correctly and seeks clarification on the concepts. Recommendations for resources include Walter Lewin's lectures on electricity and magnetism from MIT OpenCourseWare, which are praised for their quality. The poster expresses gratitude for the suggestions and looks forward to utilizing the recommended materials. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of finding comprehensive educational resources for complex physics topics.

Hi guys,

I have been self-studying physics since sometime Its been going great,but I was reading yesterday on magnetism their some stuff that my book doesn't cover and assume you already know how to do it.
For example If we place a compass between two mangetic field or three or more we need to find the net force on the compass those questions I don't understand I do right hand rule on each of the wire in order to determine force direction and then finding net force,but somehow I end up getting it wrong,so I think I don't understand magnetism fully.

Would anyone recommend a good tutorial that covers magnetism and does it justice ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
look for walter lewins lectures on electricity and magnetism MIT OCW
 
thanks I checked the lectures they are really awesome.
sorry for late reply didn't have internet lately.
Thanks again :) I will enjoy those.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
