Homework Statement


Does anybody have any idea about magnetic paradox.i saw a university question where they asked to write a short note on it.i searched google , griffiths, jackson , feynman.all my search has gone in vain.i am doing bsc hons in physics and in my 2nd year course of studies.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
Google->"magnetic paradox" gives me http://io9.com/5902884/see-a-magnetic-paradox-in-action as first hit, and explanations of the effect in other hits.
 
Has it got anything to do with relativity? I was going through a random post .it says something about magnetic force paradox.there f=qvb is different in different frame of reference.are there any other paradoxes? Relativity is in my 3rd yr course.so i am yet to properly begin it.
 
When I did a google search, 'magnetic paradox' did not come up with much. Do you remember what the university question was about? There was one link I found, to the Faraday paradox, which I have heard before, and there are a few similar variants. Maybe that is what they were talking about?
 
They simply asked to write a short note on it.it carried 8 marks.the examination was held on UG level magnetostatics , electromagnetism, ac and transient respose of circuits, thermoelectricity, ac networks.
 
hmm. So pretty much the only information is that the subject is: 'magnetic paradox' ? Well, from this I would guess that they mean the Faraday paradox, but I am in no way certain.

Edit: or maybe they just want the student to think of any situation (related to magnetism) in which there appears to be a paradox, and then to explain why there is no paradox... Like a kind of free-style question... But this seems unlikely.

Thread 'Direction of the magnetic field of an oscillating charge'

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
