Hi, I have a question concerning the attached diagram:
The question which accompanied the diagram is: Why does the aluminium rod (the one that lies across the other two) slow down when a current is produced?
The official answer is: "A current is produced in the rod which experiences a force...
How does one calculate the reflection coefficient for light at an air to silver interface at optical frequencies (\omega = {4 *10^{15} s^{-1}})

This is a problem that's been puzzling me for a while now, so hopefully somebody knows the answers to some of these questions. Can an electromagnetic field cause water molecules to move? Can changes in the intensity or location of an intense electromagnetic field cause water molecules to, even...
I'm very confused
Electromagnetism confuses me.
In a circuit the movement of electric charges creates a magnetic force.
(the type of magnetic force that is associated with magnets)
Why does the movement of electric charges produce a magnetic force?
The combination of a electric field...
An ion with a change of 1.6*10^-19 enters a 0.075 T magnetic field. If the ion follows a circular path of radius 0.083m, what is the momentum of the ion?
I tried manipulating Fc = Fmagnet into Momentum = QBr, but that didn't work... any ideas?
Thanks!
When I was a student, I remember that I disliked a lot these finger exercises.
I soon realized that these were totally useless, and I solved everything without any finger rule.
But since, I have forgotten how I did ! I only remember that I concentrated on currents, nothing else.

What are the "classical Textbooks" for quantum mechanics and electromagnetism?
hi,
I want to use my vacations to study quantum mechanics and eletromagnetism.
Are there any "classical textbook" for these 2 subjects, like "Goldstein classical mechanics" for mechanics?
Thanks,
Twukwu.
Hello,
I'm wondering, which force is stronger, SNF or EM, how was it proven that specific force is stronger than the other, and are there actually any cases where the weaker force is actually the stronger one.
Thanks for all the help
Could someone explain the wording (and possibly see if I'm going the right way about it) of this question to me.

I'm completely clueless with these statements. I watched a video on this, but all it said is that it was "complex" which didn't explain it much. If someone would possibly help me that would be great.. and appreciated! Thank you.

Hi,
Are there ways to use/reduce electromagnetic theory to understand circuit theory better? ie use circuit theory as a special case of em theory? if so can you suggest books which do it this way?

I have two questions.
The first concerns a charged disk. Consider the center of the surface of the charged disk, O. Mathematically, the value of E at O comes out to be a non-zero finite value. However i am having difficulty linking this with the physical sense. The disk can be thought to be...
Hi again guys. I've got a test charge place a certain distance away from a large flat uniformly charged non-conducting surface. I'm told what the force charge is from this distance. Then the test charge is moved, and I'm supposed to say what the force on the test charge is now. I tried doing it...
1. A simple generator has a 200-loop square coil 25.0cm on a side. How fast must it turn in a 0.550T field to produce a 120V peak output?
area=(0.25)^2
=6.25x10^-2
E=-N(BA)/t
t=-(300)(6.25x10^-2)(0-0.550T)/120V
t=8.6x10^-2 s
do you need to times it by 4 to get the time for one...

Theories in physics are often said to follow one another . This statement is both true and false . The development of a new theory does not necessarily invalidate the old theory , but often results in making the latter a particular or limiting case of the former . For instance Newtonian...
A simple question:
The force carrying particle for electromagnetism is the photon.
Is the photon traveling from the N-pole of a magnet different from the photon traveling from the S-pole of a magnet?
If not, how do the fields/photons know whether to attract or repel?
