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?
What are the best resources for learning about E&M as a beginner?
Click For Summary
Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around the effects of an insulated copper coil wound around a copper pipe in the context of electrical flow and magnetic strength. Participants explore concepts related to electromagnetic fields, charge behavior, and resources for learning about electricity and magnetism (E&M) as beginners.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory
- Technical explanation
- Conceptual clarification
- Homework-related
Main Points Raised
- One participant inquires about the electrical flow or magnetic strength resulting from an insulated copper coil around a copper pipe.
- Another participant states that there would be no difference for a stationary (DC) field.
- A question is posed regarding whether a charge is picked up on the pipe due to the present magnetic field.
- It is asserted that copper is not ferrous and that charges are not "picked up" because of a magnetic field, but rather influenced by the Lorentz force, which depends on the magnetic and electric fields and the velocity vector of the charge.
- Participants express interest in suggesting reading materials for building fundamentals in E&M, particularly for someone who is a beginner and exploring the topic as a hobby.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants generally agree on the nature of copper as non-ferrous and the influence of the Lorentz force on charges. However, there remains uncertainty regarding the specific effects of the insulated coil on electrical flow and magnetic strength, as well as the implications of the magnetic field on charge behavior.
Contextual Notes
There are limitations in the discussion regarding the assumptions made about the magnetic field's effects and the definitions of terms used, which may not be fully clarified.
Who May Find This Useful
This discussion may be useful for beginners interested in electricity and magnetism, hobbyists exploring low-voltage experiments, and those seeking foundational resources in E&M.

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.

No level at the moment, I'm just discovering Curiosities as I dabble around with low voltages. Mayberkeman said:copper is not ferrous, AFAIK.

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.berkeman said:No, copper is not ferrous, AFAIK. And charges are not "picked up" because of a magnetic field.
