I can`t seem to find any information on how to calculate the magnetic field outside a real finite solenoid. I do not need the field on-axis, but rather perpendicular to the solenoid. Any ideas on how to proceed, or suggestions to literature? Thanks Indian

I would like to invite people who want to study Bohm's theory in this thread. The aim is to *study* the theory, because people who (think they) are confortable with quantum theory (such as me) sometimes don't know much about Bohm's formulation of it (such as me!). As there are some proponents...

What is it that allows longer wavelengths to travel further than shorter wavelengths? Is it because of diffraction properties or is it related to the energy of the wave? Or perhaps a combination of several things...? Thanks. Russ

Nice AP Phyiscs prob. If V (elec. potential) equals a constant throughout a given region of space, what can u say about E (Elec. field strength) in that region? I think its also constant ;) ...but i was woderin if i was right

Not sure if any of you have seen it, but it had me laughing for a while: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~kovar/hall.html Enjoy!

General physics: Someone please explain what a "short circuit" is I am currently reading electricity and although I have read my textbooks well, I still don't understand what a "short circuit" is..thanks :cry:

Hi all, I'm currently doing some work trying to optimize coils (basically a large center hole solenoid) for a series of experiments. Two of the variables I'm going to be able to adjust are wire gauge of the coil and amperage through the coil. Online, I have found 'rule of thumb'...

I usually get them, but this one got me stuck. Here it is: The larger of two numbers exceeds twice the smaller number by 1. Three times the smaller number is 6 more than the larger. Find the two numbers. Well I got it just after I finish writing it. A 5 minute break usually does it...
