    Charge Induction
AI Thread Summary
Induction involves the increment of charge where the induced charge equals the difference between the source charge and the target body, assuming the body has a lower opposite charge. The process occurs when a charged body is brought near a grounded conductor, causing opposite charges to accumulate due to Coulomb forces. Once the grounding is removed, the conductor retains a distributed electrical charge. The discussion emphasizes the need to consider ideal conditions, such as the absence of energy losses, to validate generalizations about charge induction. Understanding these principles is crucial for addressing practical issues in real-life applications like lossy capacitors.

"Induction is a process of increment of charge such that the charge induced equals to the charge difference between the source charge and the body (which need to be charged) if the body is having an opposite and initial charge lower that that of the charging source."

This is what I concluded...am I right?...If I am, I got some major problems.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
No one can confirm this?...well I find it true...following this for a real-life lossy capacitor, I get problems.
 
Ok, what are the previous generalisations do we have about charge induction?
 
Hi there,

Since you seem to really want to have an answer on this one.

Charge induction is a very simple process which consist bringing a charged body near a grounded conductor. The charged body will, by the Coulomb force, "force" opposite charges to be accumulated in the conductor. Once this is done, the grounding can be cut off, resulting in a conductor having an amount of electrical charges distributed on its surface.

Cheers
 
Of course, I know that, but I made a generalisation and I want to see if its true.

I'm talking about the intensity of induction here under ideal conditions (i.e no E.F losses).

This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...
Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'
Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
