Relationship between magnetic field strength and voltage

AI Thread Summary
The relationship between magnetic field strength and voltage is clarified through Ampère's circuital law and Ohm's Law. Magnetic field strength (B) is directly influenced by the current (I) flowing through the coils, which is determined by the voltage (V) and resistance (R) of the circuit. As voltage increases, current also increases, leading to a stronger magnetic field, assuming resistance remains constant. Faraday's law supports this by illustrating how changes in current affect magnetic fields. Therefore, an increase in voltage does result in an increase in magnetic field strength.

So I'm really confused with the relationship between magnetic field strength and voltage. Say you have a battery (with a DC voltage) with 4 coils, when voltage increases, does magnetic field strength increase? Is there any law (i.e. Faraday's law) that supports this?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The magnetic field strength is given by B=nIl where B is the magnetic field, n is the number of turns per metre of the wire of length l metres that makes up the coil and I is the current flowing through the coil.

The current flowing through the coil is given by Ohm's Law I=V/R where V is the potential difference in volts between the ends of the wire of the coil and R is the resistance of the coil.

So yes, if all else stays the same, increasing the voltage will increase the current which will increase the magnetic field.
 
This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...
Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'
Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
