    When is the flux through a coil from a bar magnet zero?

    Suppose I have a finite sized cylindrical bar magnet of radius $a$ and length $b$. It is coaxial with the $x$ axis and moving from $-\infty$ to $\infty.$ A circular closed wire of radius $r>a$ is in the $y-z$ plane with center at the origin. When the bar center of the bar magnet passes through...

    Flux due to a charge located at the corner of a cube

    The correct answer is B, but I am not sure why. I have a few confusions regarding this problem. First of all, I had thought that we cannot use Gauss' Law to determine the flux through a SIDE of a cube since Gauss' Law only works for SURFACES. How can we determine how an electric field pierces a...

    Outward flux of a vector field

    My idea is to evaluate it using gauss theorem/divergence theorem. so the divergence would be ## divF = (\cos (2x)2+2y+2-2z ( y+\cos (2x)+3) ) ## is it correct? In this way i'ma able to compute a triple integral on the volume given by the domain ## D = \left\{ (x, y, z) ∈ R^3 : x^2 + y^2 +...

    Why does a change of magnetic flux induce an EMF?

    How and why does a changing magnetic flux induce an emf? Why doesn't a static one also produce one? How are the electric and magnetic forces related? Why do you move a wire through a magnetic field so that the wire, the motion, and the magnetic field are all mutually orthogonal in order to...

    This is for an experiment to deflect a 28 SWG wire between two magnets, 3cm apart, by passing a current through it (example attached). The force on the wire is obviously F = BIL, but the wire will be passing at 1.5cm from each magnet so there will be some significant fall off of B and I can't...

    Flux of Electric Field through a cone

    Since there is no charge inside the cone, the total flux through its surface is zero, hence Ø(lateral surface)+∅(base surface)=0. But ∅(base surface)=E.πR².cosΩ, because electric Field is homogenous. But by the figure, Ω is just arctg(h/R). So Ø(lateral surface)=-E.π.R².R/√(R²+h²). This is not...
