I'm new to the forum, so hello! How can i calculate the magnetic field strength of the pulse of an air core coil, the number of turns is 20 & the height of the coil is 20mm, not single or multi layered just random wound. The pulse is 10V & 1Amp, the Inductance is 200uH. Not sure how to go...

I have a component made of some sort of stamped steel which has a significant magnetic field (upto 2000mGa) which I need to use near a sensitive magnetic sensor. The field is high enough to saturate the sensor so I can't calibrate it out. Does anyone have any idea about degaussing? I tried...

Could anyone please help me? If I have a piece of aluminium Angle that is 30mm x 30mm by 3mm thick and 1m long, if I were to substitue this with a piece that is the same thickness and length but 60mm x 60mm what increase in strength would I see? If instead of increasing the size what would...

Hi all, I've been looking at a few trusses lately and was wondering what the main factors are that influence the overall strength of a truss bridge? I have an idea that the more members taking loads, the stronger the truss, hence members should be at sharper angles. Of course i could be dead...

Installed a D-Link DIR-655 Router for my wireless network. The network consist of 3 desktop computers, 3 laptops, and 1 Blu-ray (netflix setup). The only problem is that one laptop has a signal strength that varies from (the high) that I have seen, 38Mbps down to 1Mbps. The trend seems to...

We've heard of the water pipe analogy for electric circuit. It says that the current produces magnetic field and that the "pipe" is irrelevant - only the amp-turns are relevant. So I was wondering, is it possible to increase the amp-turns of a electromagnet by rotating it in the same direction...

I am trying to calculate the "short beam strength (\sigma_{sbs})" of Liquid Nails (a wood adhesive). I did a strength test of two square beams held together by the Liquid Nails and recorded the data. I also have data of a strength test of one of the wooden beams by itself. How would I go...

Lets say I have a point charge X placed on a region between a +Q test charge and +2Q point charge where electric field strength is zero. Since E=-dV/dR, does it mean V=0 or constant? Can the point charge move if i place it there? Well let's just ignore gravitational field/force here.

Physics mega-novice (i.e. moron) here, so I'm probably not thinking correctly about these things. Just curious which item below is close to what's generally understood about light and black holes. Maybe none are nowhere near being close, I would not be surprised. Concept #1 A gravitational...

Hello, I read chapter 7.1 of "An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory" by Peskin and Schröder and have two questions. They derive the two point function for the interacting case. On page 213 they manipulate the matrix element, after insertion of the complete set of eigenstates. <\Omega...

It's common to hear people say that gravity is a "weak force" and that it is "32 times weaker than the weak nuclear force." But what does that even mean, if it has any meaning at all. The gravity on a particle is proportional to its mass. The electric force on an object is proportional to its...

I have a suspension arm that I am rebuilding, the main reason is to make it adjustable in length, and the other is to replace the ball joint. The original equipment is a standard automotive ball joint, greased and the shaft is 1 piece with the ball. The new setup would use a 5/8 spherical...

I know how to do it one way, which is write down the chemical formula, balance it, and from the molarity of the products/reactants you calculate your H3O or OH concentrations and go on, but it seems to take forever. This is worse when I need to calculate pH for a whole list of different...

I answered a question that my professor asked: "Why is the boiling point of HF much higher than that of HCl even though HCl has a larger molar mass?" The answer had to do with F being more electronegative than Cl and thus making stronger H-bonds. He also said on an aside that it all boils...
