Production of the magnetic field from 3-phase currents

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the magnetic field intensity from three-phase currents separated by 120 degrees, represented by specific sinusoidal equations. The user attempts to derive the magnetic field intensity equation using Ampere's Law but encounters confusion regarding the application of line integrals. It is clarified that the integral in Ampere's Law is a line integral around a closed curve, not a simple integral. Additionally, to determine the magnetic field at the center of the coils, more geometric information about the coils is necessary. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding vector fields and the correct application of mathematical principles in electromagnetic theory.

TL;DR
Magnetic field equation based on the 3 phase currents.
This is not a homework problem, I want to calculate the equation of the magnetic field intensity from the 3 phase currents separated by 120Degrees. The 3 currents are
##I_{{aa}^{'}} = I_M\sin \omega t ; -> eq1 \
I_{{bb}^{'}} = I_M\sin(\omega t - 120); -> eq2\
I_{{cc}^{'}} = I_M\sin(\omega t -240); -> eq3
##
The current in coil ##{{aa}^{'}}## flows into the ##a## end of the coil and out the ##{{a}^{'}}## end of the coil. It produces the magnetic field intensity ##H_{{aa}^{'}}(t) = H_M\sin(\omega t) \angle 0## -> eq4;
I wanted to derive eq1. The equation from the book about the magnetic field intensity
##\oint H.dl = I_{net} -> eq5; ##
My attempt is
##H = \frac{dI_{{aa}^{'}}} {dl} ->eq6 ## substitute eq1 into eq6.
##H = \frac{dI_M\sin \omega t} {dl} -> eq7 ##
But i don't see the equation 6 in terms of ##l##, how to solve this and derive equation 4?

You have misinterpret Ampere's Law (eq5), the integral that appears there is not a "simple" integral but a line or path integral around a closed curve. So (eq6) simply doesn't hold (it would hold if that integral was a simple integral as i said).
Check here for more info about line integrals.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_integral
More specifically check the section about "Line integral of a Vector field" because H in eq5 is a vector field.

Anyway if you want to find H at the center of the three coils, then you have to make some extra assumptions about the geometry of the coils (for example are they solenoids?), the information from the currents only is not enough.
 
Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
