Homework Statement In Solenoid, is emf E= N. d(phi)/dt, or is it simply d(phi)/dt? Some books contain the latter one. It was not a big deal until i gave a thought about it. Since increasing the N, we are actually increasing the value of n, thus increasing B= (mu) .n.I So, by placing N in front...

We're told that all electromagnetic radiation consists of photons. But you never hear them mentioned when discussing low-frequency radio waves. Why not? I get that, due to the low frequencies, the energy of each individual photon would be very small, so there must be lots and lots of them flying...

Homework Statement I only need help with part C and D Homework Equations Curl of B = mu0 J J = J free + J bound H = B/mu0 - M The Attempt at a Solution For C i, I said they're the same because free current is the same at both points. My argument is that because curl of B (at L) = mu0 Jfree...

The equation of motion for a charged particle with mass ##m## and charge ##q## in a static magnetic field is: ##\frac{d}{dt}[m{\dot{\vec{r}}}]=q\ \dot{\vec{r}}\times \vec{B}## From this, we can see that ##\frac{d}{dt}[m\dot{\vec{r}}-q \vec{r}\times \vec{B}]=0## and so the following quantity is...

Dear Members, I was reading a tutorial on ferroelectricity of liquid crystals, underneath is the excrept: "For ferroelectric materials, in addition to the dielectric torque, the electric torque will have a term due to the linear coupling between the spontaneous polarization" Could someone...

Does a rotating conductor generate an electrical potential due to charges "feeling" a centrifugal force?

Can we predict the movement of a magnet in a uniform magnetic field using Maxwell's equations? What if the magnetic field is variable, for example if we have two magnets moving in a reference frame? Thank you for any answers and I wish you a Merry Christmas! :)

So General Relativity explains the force of gravity as mass/energy induced curvature of spacetime. This correctly predicts gravitational time distortion, nonlinear geodesics and gravitational lensing, the anomalous precession of planetary orbits, the schwarzchild metric, and so on. Could the...

As we know, work done by an outside agency in creating some current ''I" in an inductor 'L' is 1/2LI2. Now this result is derived by quasistatic approximation if I am not wrong. Now, I am assuming that in non quasistatic (real) scenarios, the work done by outside agency would be different(If you...
