    Why a steel plate can shield magnetic field?

    If I put a very long steel plate above a coil with DC, the magnetic field above the plate will decrease because of the shielding of the steel plate. However, from the perspective of magnetci domain, some domains will be magnetized to turn to the direction of the magnetic field from the coil...

    How is the thermal conductivity affected by magnetic field?

    Hello, I'm searching for how magnetic field affects the thermal conductivity of the metal (such as steel in solid form). If someone suggests any article about it will be very helpful.

    Magnetic field affecting a circular loop

    If the magnetic field is constant then no change in flux will bring no induced emf nor any induced current. With the loop is in rest position the external magnetic field will exert a force but to calculate that force with the help of magnetic field isn't obvious. If this were a charged loop, the...

    Determine the points where the net magnetic field is zero

    Unsure about this, but here is my attempt: B from the first wire: ##\dfrac {\mu _{0}I}{2\pi r} ## B from the second wire: ##\dfrac {\mu _{0}I}{2\pi r} ## Let the point be (x,y) Can I state that: ##\dfrac {\mu _{0}I}{2\pi y}+\dfrac {\mu _{i}\left( I/3\right) }{2\pi x}=0## Hence the magnetic...

    Torque on a rectangular coil in a uniform magnetic field

    So this was a section taken out from a question which I am trying to do shown below I have drawn a sketch to help me visualise of what is going on I have used Fleming's left hand rule to help me determine what direction the force is facing on each side of the coil. For the last part in...

    About changes in a magnetic field

    Here i tried this way (see picture) Please tell me am i right or wrong. Also they says find the change in magnetic field with time using Faraday's law in a rectangular loop. How can i solve that??

    Why does the current have no ##\phi## component in a toroidal coil?

    These are images from the book Introduction to Electrodynamics by David J. Griffiths . . . My problem is that I'm unable to understand how the current has zero ##\phi## component (I have underlined it in the first image)? I do understand cylindrical coordinates, I know...

    How can magnetic fields be shielded from external sources?

    It seems I don't understand how magnetic shielding supposed to work. I tried shielding a wire, using some ferrites, but it doesn't work. I assumed the magnetic field will concentrate in the magnetic material, bypassing the meter magnetic loop, so less will be measured by the meter. I thought the...

    Find the mass of this ion moving in a magnetic field

    I had started off by equating the magnetic force to the centripetal force, to find the mass of a single ion. Then calculated the mass of what 1 mole of that ion would weigh to identify what the ion is Hence the answer would be nitrogen (option C) as 1 mole of nitrogen weighs 14g Would this...

    Magnetic field vector using F = qV * B

    Hi, I'm trying to find the magnetic field B using F = qV * B. I have F = (3i + j + 2k) N V = (-i +3j) * 10^6 m/s q = -2 *10^6 C Bx = 0 I don't know how to resolve a 3 dimensional vector equation. B = F/qV makes not sense for me.

    Determine the magnetic field inside and outside the cable using Ampere's law

    My attempt: I realized after i had tried to solve the problem that the current must be constant in the cables. But no information about where the cables has radius a and b is given so how would I go about to find an expression for the current? Thanks in advance!

    Magnetic field Cancellation in AC wires (How?)

    Magnetic field due to two loops

    My attempt is the magnetic field due to loop1 and loop2 should get added The magnetic field due to loop1 is B1 =(μ0 * Φ * i)/(4*π*r) = (4*π*(2*π)*0.004) /(4 *π*0.015) = 1670nT. I assumed this value should be less than 100nT. What is the reason? The other question is "Loop 2 is to be rotated...

    Engineering Magnetic field near a rectangular bus bar

    An old field theory notebook has given me a formula for a long straight conductor that H = I/2πd which suggests 2.3873T at 0.2mm. Is it a reasonable approximation to use this as a basis for selecting the sensor? Any help much appreciated.

    Can a magnetic field ever cause a translation motion?

    Lorentz Law says that for a charged particle moving with a velocity v in a magnetic field B then the force on it is given by $$ \mathbf{F} = q (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B}) $$ Now, if I say that particle’s velocity and the magnetic field are aligned then according to Lorentz Law there will be...

    Magnetic field outside a solenoid

    In his book on electrodynamics, Griffith talks about the magnetic field outside a solenoid. Firstly instead of dealing with a typical solenoid with closely wound loops, he instead works with a cylinder with a surface current that has no z-component. To get the angular component of the B-field...

    How to find the magnetic field and magnetic force due to a solenoid loop

    I'm not so sure how to begin with this problem. I was thinking of usign superposition. I think that the field on the conductor due to the parallel segments of the coil is zero, since Ampere's Law tells us that the field outside the solenoid is zero, right? For the perpendicular segments, I used...

    Did I find the correct ratio in this magnetic field question?

    I used the two equations i listed by using B1=B2 and by doing that i ended up finding that N1/N2=λ. However i am not sure if that's the correct answer as λ is just a variable and not an actual number. Do you think it has to be an actual number or is it not really necessary?
