AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the effects of an insulated copper coil wound around a copper pipe, noting that there is no difference in electrical flow or magnetic strength in a stationary DC field. It clarifies that copper is not ferrous and charges are not "picked up" by a magnetic field; rather, they are influenced by the Lorentz force, which depends on the magnetic and electric fields and the charge's velocity. Participants inquire about the individual's current level of physics study to suggest appropriate resources for learning about electromagnetism (E&M). The individual identifies as a beginner with a hobbyist interest in low voltages. Recommendations for foundational reading materials in E&M are sought to enhance understanding.

For research purposes, what would be the result of Electrical flow or magnetic strength if an Insulated copper Coil were wound around a pice of copper pipe?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
No difference for a stationary (DC) field.
 
Is a charge picked up on the pipe because of the present magnetic field?

No, copper is not ferrous, AFAIK. And charges are not "picked up" because of a magnetic field. Charges are influenced by the Lorentz force, which depends on the magnetic and electric fields and the velocity vector of the charge.

What level are you studying physics at right now? We should be able to suggest some reading that will help you build your fundamentals in E&M. :smile:

No level at the moment, I'm just discovering Curiosities as I dabble around with low voltages. May

this is a hobby for me.

I would say I am a beginner with some general knowledge, and that this is more of a hobby for me right now but. If you could Recommend some Sources that would be awesome.

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
