    Deriving expression for magnetic field at point P due to current

    So I think I do understand how to do this, but the thing is my answers are always incorrect. Will need some guidance/help on this. ##B =\frac{\mu_{0}I}{4\pi}\int\frac{dysin\theta}{r^2} ## ##y = Rtan\phi## ##dy = Rsec^2\phi d\phi## ##B = \frac{\mu_{0}I}{4\pi}\int\frac{dysin\theta}{r^2} =...

    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?

    Measuring Magnetic Field Strength of a Cylindrical Magnet

    Hello, Today I am wondering if anyone can help me quantify the strength of the magnetic field created by a permanent cylindrical magnet. I have been able to find equations online for the strength of the field within the z axis, (ie. the longitudinal length) but I would like to know the strength...

    Magnetic Forces & Moving Wires: The Right Hand Rule

    OK so a wire with a current creates a b field in accordance with the right hand rule. Now moving charge will feel a force (if its moving in the correct direction) while stationary charges will not feel a magnetic force. What I am curious about is if we move the wire itself, will a stationary...

    Engineering Magnetic Field Question (saturating an iron plate)

    I know that the field inside sample is a combination of the demagnetizing field and whatever applied field you may have. So these two fields together influence how big a field you need in order to magnetize the sample.

    Find the speed of a copper loop falling in a magnetic field

    Hi all, so I had this problem and on the exam and I got a solution but I had an mass-term in there which wasn't given. I used Farraday's Law of Induction to get the Voltage induced. Then I used ##rho* \frac{A}{4a} ## for the resistance and divided the Voltage by that to get the current. I then...

    Why Does Adding a Coil Decrease Current in a Circuit?

    Hello, so today I in my electrical machines class the teacher said that if we add a coil on a cicuit the total current will be less compared with a circuit with no coil included. Also if we replace a coil with (for example) 100 spirals with another with 300 spirals, the total current going...
