    On the magnetic dipole radiation in Griffith's book

    In 11.1.3 of Griffith's "Introduction to Electrodynamics 4Ed" appears magnetic dipole radiation, which results in the equation above. According to the resultant equation, there is no magnetic field in the axis of the wire loop because theta=0. However, I think the magnetic flux density is at...

    I Magnetic Flux - Misleading Definition or what?

    Magnetic flux density(B) is defined as, magnetic force per unit pole strength and flux is defined as magnetic field passing normally through given surface. I think, I am clear about these definitions, and quantitative meaning they carry. I usually find, in some texts, the definitions as in image...

    Charge passing through a magnetic field of uniform magnetic flux density

    My reasoning: The magnetic force on charge q is Fm = qv x B B does not change |v|. Therefore, |Fm| is constant at time t > 0 and Fm is always perpendicular to the direction of movement of charge q. Fm behaves as a centripetal force, and thus the charge moves along the circumference of a...
