Amperes law Law

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on solving a problem related to Ampere's Law, specifically with a constant magnetic field of B = 2.15 T. The key equation used is the integral of the magnetic field along a path, represented as ∫βDs = μI. A participant notes that after attempting the solution, they concluded the answer is zero because the perpendicular components to the field cancel out, while the parallel components also negate each other. This indicates a fundamental understanding of how magnetic fields interact in this context. The solution emphasizes the importance of recognizing vector directions in magnetic field problems.

NM I got it the answers is zero since the perpendicular components to the field are zero, and the parallel ones go in opposite directions, and therefore cancel as well.

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
