    Ac Solenoid
AI Thread Summary
Applying a sinusoidal current to a long solenoid can produce radiation, which is a theoretical result that requires verification through experimental or theoretical analysis. A referenced paper discusses loop antennas and radiation resistance, suggesting that incorporating a ferrite rod enhances performance for AM radio frequencies. The discussion highlights the difference between radiating and non-radiating fields, emphasizing the use of various materials and configurations, such as fiberglass fishing poles, to create antennas that resonate at lower frequencies. While these antennas may not be highly efficient at low frequencies, they can still function effectively. Experimentation is often necessary to determine the resonant frequency and optimize radiation performance.

Recently I found that, if I apply a sinusoidal current to a long solenoid I get a radiation from it. It is completely theoretical result. I want to verify whether my result is correct or not. For this verification I need either some experimental result or some theoretical explanation whether it is wrong or correct,if correct then why this is happening?
please ,please help.
please.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Here is a paper on loop (solenoid) antennas, including estimate of radiation resistance..

Put a ferrite rod in it and it works better for AM radio (~1 MHz).

I got the point and also I found a paper on this topic in American Journal of Physics-1995. One thing I want to know, What the basic difference between the field with radiation and without radiation is.
 
It is also fairly common to use a long piece of tubing and wind a spiral of wire onto it to act as an antenna for vehicle use.
Such antennas resonate at much lower frequencies than the length of the antenna would otherwise allow.

Blank fishing poles made of fibreglass are commonly used and the wire is wound onto the fishing pole with some spacing between turns of wire. It is usually fed from a transmitter via a coaxial cable at the bottom.

These antennas are not very efficient at low frequencies but they do work.

Usually, the resonant frequency has to be found by experimentation but a good start is to wind on about one quarter wave length of wire onto the rod and then mount the rod over a flat metal surface (a ground plane) and test it for resonance and maximum radiation.
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
