AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on simulating the DC magnetic field of a current loop using elliptical integrals, with concerns about inaccuracies when shifting the loop's position along the z-axis. A participant mentions evaluating a similar integral and achieving consistent results with the Biot-Savart law. An error in the original code was identified, which led to the resolution of symmetry issues in the simulation. The mathematical expressions and results were shared for further analysis. The conversation highlights the importance of accurate coding in simulations involving complex integrals.

Hello,

I'm wondering if my approach to a problem is correct as when I try to simulate the DC magnetic field of a current loop using elliptical integrals, I obtain results that appear incorrect when shifting the current loop's location from the origin of the z axis.

I have attached the mathematical expressions along with my results.

I was unable to view the "link" on my computer. I think I wound up evaluating a similar integral in a write-up I did where I showed the Biot-Savart integral from some surface currents gives the exact same result as the pole method. I only evaluated the integral in the plane of the endface of a cylinder of semi-infinite length: See: https://www.overleaf.com/read/kdhnbkpypxfk
 
Thanks for the reply Charles,

There was an error in my code.

I have achieved symmetry.

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
