Relationship between Magnetic Field Strength and Time Constant in an RC Circuit?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between magnetic field strength and time constant in an RC circuit. It confirms that magnetic field strength is proportional to the current, which follows the equation I = Ioe^-t/RC. The Biot-Savart Law and Maxwell's equations support this relationship. The time constant in the circuit influences how the current—and consequently the magnetic field—changes over time. This establishes a clear connection between the magnetic field strength and the time constant in an RC circuit.

Homework Statement



Just wondering if I were to plot the magnetic field strength as a function of time of an RC circuit if they would be related through the time constant in the current (I = Ioe^-t/RC)?

In general, the magnetic field is proportional to the current that generates it. That's the Biot-Savart Law or one of Maxwell's equations. So yes.
 
Thanks again kuruman!
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
