Hello guru's,
I've been trying to figure out a way to incorporate an electric field source in the Helmholtz equation, and have been accumulating lots of question marks in my head. So in case of no static charge,
\nabla^{2} E - \mu (\epsilon\frac{d^{2}}{dt^{2}} + \sigma\frac{d}{dt}) E = 0...

Hi all.
Lets take a look at the Helmholtz free energy. It is defined as the amount of energy one has to put into create a system once the spontaneous energy transfer to the system from the environment is accounted for.
Now let's look at it once we have created the...

The coils in a set of Helmholtz coils have 186 turns and a radius of 15.9 cm. The current is set at 2.2 A. Express your answers in units of "T" for Tesla.
a) Calculate the magnetic field along the axis at the center of the two coils (x = 0).
b) What is the magnetic...
What is the reasoning behind defining the helmholtz free energy as F = -kT ln Z?
I always wanted to know why it was just defined as the above. Is it as a form of convenience because the macroscopic theromodynamic observables of a system at constant temperature (ie the canonical ensemble) are...

The picture shows (there's supposed to be a pic) a Helmholtz coil consisting of two circular coaxial coils, each of 200 turns and radius R = 25.0 cm, separated by a distance s = R. The two coils carry equal currents i = 12.2 mA in the same direction. Find the magnitude...
"Helmholtz equation" Neumann and divergence
Hello, I'm trying to solve the following elliptic problem :

Where S(x,y) and B(x,y) are 3 component vectors.
I have \nabla\cdot S = 0 and I want B such that \nabla\cdot B = 0 everywhere.
I'm using finite differences on a...

Hello...
I'm having trouble getting my head around something. I'm not exactly sure what is meant by the Helmholtz free energy (F) decreasing in a system that's in thermal equilibrium with it's environment. Under what circumstances does it decrease...

I am currently working on a research project, and need an equation or method to find the magnetic field strength produced by any number of helmholtz coils, and not just on the central axis, but at any position in the space around them. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks
Greetings,
I have recently come across the Helmholtz differential equation.
Is there already a thread here that discusses the mathematic techniques (differential equation techniques) used to solve it?
If not can we discuss how one can solve the equation?
I'm familiar but rusty with...
Possible Helmholtz equation?

How do I take the first and second derivatives of the helmholtz equation? The equation is as follows:

Dear all,
I know that I can create a uniform field using the design of a Helmholtz coil with an air-core. However, if I use a ferrous core like iron, will I still be able to create a uniform field under the same conditions? Also, how is the equation for the magnetic field, B, changed when...

Im trying to solve Helmholtz equation
\nabla ^2u(r,\phi,z) + k^2u(r,\phi,z) = 0
in a hollow cylinder with length L and a < r < b
and the boundary conditions:
u(a,\phi,z) = F(\phi,z)
u(b,\phi,z) = G(\phi,z)
u(r,\phi,0) = P(\phi,z)
u(r,\phi,L) = Q(\phi,z)...
I'm trying to track down a quantitative proof that the most uniform magnetic field between two Helmholtz coils occurs for a separation equal to their radii.
So far I've just been playing around with the Biot-Savart law and proving that B is identical at several trial points along the axis...

hey I am pretty sure that if the right amount of current passes through the pair of coils in a helmholtz arrangement, the magnetic field it produces can null out any magnetic fluctuation. but how can you calculate the magnetic field it generates?
