Hey, is it possible to have a cylindrical ring (made of permanent magnet) and a magnetic sphere sitting inside it and staying in one place without touching the inner sides of the ring and not falling through? The object doesn't necessarily have to be a sphere. If it would work with any other...

So I know that in general, for the ring of ##n \times n## matrices, if ##AB = 0##, then it is not necessarily true that ##A=0## or ##B=0##. However, in other rings, for example the integers ##\mathbb{Z}##, I know that this statement is true. So what property is the ring of matrices lacking such...

<Mentor's note: Moved from a technical forum and thus no template.> A ring's kinetic energy is integral of 0.5v2 dm. Distance X is rΘ, and Θ is defined as distance traveled/radius, so X is r*distance traveled / r. Velocity V is X divided by time, so V is r*distance traveled / rt, and I define...

Hi. This is from a high school textbook, in a chapter about eddy currents and Lenz's law. In a), a magnetic field is turned on, in b) it's turned off, which both induces a current in a suspended aluminium ring: I think the direction of the current is wrong in both pictures. Any opinions?

Hi. According to Lenz's law, a conducting ring responds to an increasing external magnetic field with a repelling field and to a decreasing external magnetic field with an attracting one. Thomson's experiment uses an AC coil, so its field strength changes between increasing and decreasing a...
