Production of the magnetic field from 3-phase currents

AI Thread 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 Summary
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 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
