Homework Statement Within a certain material, an EM wave with = 1 mm is attenuated to 10% of its original intensity after propagating 10 cm. Determine the imaginary part of the index of refraction ni Homework Equations 3. The Attempt at a Solution [/B] so...

Homework Statement Consider the figure below, we need to find the charge on Q_0, both charges Q are negative. It is given that the net charge on Q_A is zero. The figure of the problem is attached. The Attempt at a Solution I understand how to get the solution except for one part. I'm just...

Hey All, I'm trying to design a solenoid that would generate about minimum 1.6 A of current in order for me to charge up a 1.5 A 1.5 V battery. I already designed one which is about 10CM in length and unknown number of turns (as I used a drill to wind the coils around it. so I would guess its...

Homework Statement .[/B] Given an infinitely long charged metal cylinder that is rotating with an angular velocity ##\omega## The charge density per unit length is ##\rho##. Find the magnetic field within the cylinder. I'm trying to solve this problem by using Ampere's Law. But couldn't reach...

Assume there is a table with an infinite long wire passing through the centre and few iron pieces lying around the wire on the table. Now I pass current through the wire which creates electro magnetic field due to which all the iron particles get magnetic potential energy. They are attracted...

I have been trying to come up with a good question for my Ib extended essay which is a 4000 words essay about any physics topic of my choice. However, with this topic I need to come up with an experiment to further investigate this topic and write up an analysis and conclusion. I am really...

Hello, I have heard many times that red lighting is good for imaging applications where the effect of ambient light needs to be reduced to a minimum. What is the theory behind this? Why does red light (vs. other colors) reduce the effect of ambient light? Thank you.

Hello PPer's, I have been considering the effect to which electromagnetic radiation emitted from stars might play in the gravitational coalescence of galaxies. Surrounding every galaxy there must be a halo of electromagnetic radiation streaming outwards at the speed of light which diminishes...

When you have a magnet moving up and down a coil. The magnet cuts the field lines. Which generates an AC current in the coil. In my exam, there was a sinusoidal curve showing the generation of AC current. When the curve crossed the x-axis, that point was labelled X. Now at that point was the...

Hi, I want to create a electromagentic brake for AC motor. could you let me know how can I calculate wire lengh and what is the gauge of wire. if you have any calculating table please let me know. Regards, Naveen

I read somewhere that at small atomic levels (quantum levels) the electric force is some 100,000 stronger than the force of gravity. But long range (hundred of millions of miles to light years), gravity is the dominant force holding objects together or close by. Why is this? Could it...
