Project on Electricity & Magnetism(Topic Suggestions needed)

In summary, the conversation is about a course on Electricity and Magnetism that requires the students to prepare a project related to the subject but not directly covered in the course. The person speaking is looking for suggestions on topics and would like to incorporate computation in some form, but has not specified the level of the course or their knowledge, and whether they have access to software packages or plan on writing their own codes.

So I have taken up this course on Electricity and Magnetism and we need to prepare a project as in not very broad as such but for example, attempting to solve a problem or something that is related to the subject but off the course. I'd like to involve computation too in some form or the other so it would be really helpful if anybody could suggest some topics. Thank you !

This is extremely vague.

At what level is this "... course on Electricity and Magnetism..."? What are you expected to know, and what do you already know? Were you given any guideline by the instructor on what topics are relevant but still "... off the course..."? And what you said that you'd like it to "... involve computation...", what software packages do you have, or do you plan on writing your own codes? Do you have access to finite-element analysis packages? Have you used one? And if you plan on writing your own codes, have you done numerical analysis/computation?

Do you notice now how much information that you left out?

1. What is electricity and how does it relate to magnetism?

Electricity is a form of energy that is caused by the movement of electrons. Magnetism is a force that is created by the movement of charged particles. These two phenomena are closely related, as electric currents can create magnetic fields and changing magnetic fields can induce electric currents.

2. How does electricity and magnetism impact our daily lives?

Electricity and magnetism play a crucial role in our daily lives. They are responsible for powering our homes, lighting our cities, and running our electronic devices. They also play a role in communication and transportation systems, such as radios, phones, and trains.

3. What are some examples of practical applications of electricity and magnetism?

Some practical applications of electricity and magnetism include generators, motors, transformers, and electromagnets. These technologies are used in various industries, such as energy production, transportation, and manufacturing.

4. How does electricity and magnetism work together in an electric circuit?

In an electric circuit, electricity flows through a conductor, such as a wire, and creates a magnetic field around the conductor. This magnetic field can then interact with other magnetic fields to produce motion, heat, or light.

5. What are some potential future developments in the field of electricity and magnetism?

Some potential future developments in the field of electricity and magnetism include advancements in renewable energy technologies, such as solar and wind power, and the development of more efficient and sustainable energy storage systems. There is also ongoing research in the field of quantum computing, which utilizes the principles of electricity and magnetism at a microscopic level.
