Need help w/ magnetics & magnetic wave

AI Thread Summary
Magnetics involves the study of magnetic fields created by magnets or moving electric charges, which can attract or repel other magnets. Magnetic waves, or electromagnetic waves, consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields and are produced by accelerating charged particles. A bar magnet's magnetic field lines illustrate how these fields emanate from the north pole and loop back to the south pole, with strength diminishing with distance. Understanding the relationship between electric currents and magnetic fields is crucial, as current-carrying wires can create electromagnetic waves. For further assistance, utilizing online resources and reaching out to instructors or classmates is recommended.

Hello! I would SOOO appreciate any help I could get with this homework of mine!
I just don't understand and my phys instructor is mean!

Anyway, it's Phys 110, so it should be pretty easy for some of you, but it's hard for me...

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

You can IM me through yahoo at carlamagee77
or you can email me at
mazdamagee1@hotmail.com

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE!

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with your physics homework. Magnetics and magnetic waves can be tricky concepts to understand, but don't worry, with a little help and practice, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it.

First, let's start with the basics. Magnetics refers to the study of magnetic fields and their effects on objects. These fields are created by magnets or moving electric charges. They have both a magnitude and a direction, and can either attract or repel other magnets or magnetic materials.

Magnetic waves, also known as electromagnetic waves, are a type of wave that consists of both electric and magnetic fields oscillating at right angles to each other. They are produced by the acceleration of charged particles and can travel through a vacuum, unlike mechanical waves which require a medium to travel through.

To better understand these concepts, it might be helpful to visualize them. Imagine a bar magnet with a north and south pole. The magnetic field lines emanate from the north pole and loop back into the south pole. These field lines can be thought of as invisible lines of force, and the strength of the magnetic field decreases as you move further away from the magnet.

When it comes to electromagnetic waves, think of them as a series of these magnetic field lines and electric field lines propagating through space in a sinusoidal pattern. The frequency of the wave determines its energy and the wavelength determines its speed.

I hope this brief overview helps you get a better understanding of magnetics and magnetic waves. If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to your physics instructor or classmates for additional help. Also, there are plenty of online resources and videos that can provide visual explanations and practice problems. Keep practicing and don't get discouraged, you got this!
 
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...
