Wires Definition and 543 Threads

We connect the charged capacitor to the no-charged capacitor (consider the wires to be ideal R=0), the final energy is less than the initial energy of the system. Where is the lost energy? (see example blew)

Hi, I am not sure if I have calculated the task here correctly: Based on the drawing, I now assumed that the two resistors are connected in parallel. The total resistance can then be calculated as follows ##\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}##. Since the two wires are made of the same...

There are a couple of problems with the same setup. On plugging in the values and solving for the integral, I am not getting the expected values of the force. Is there something wrong in the solution attached?

I want to make my own multi-wire chamber for school, and I wonder what kind of effect different wires will have on the efficiency. After reading many papers containing research for wire chambers, I saw that all of them did tests with wires made of gold plated tungsten wires with a diameter of...

Suppose there's some slow burning pyrotechnic mixture like KNO##_3## with powdered charcoal, and several really thin threads/wires of magnesium metal (or zirconium or magnesium/aluminum alloy) are made go through a pile of that mixture. Now I would guess that because a mixture of finely powdered...

I understand the iron fillings become little magnets all pointing in the same north south direction similar to the spin aligned electrons in the permanent magnet. Similarly, a compass near a wire traces out the magnetic field lines ie North/South. My question is how do I reconcile the fact that...

A standard textbook problem features a constant B field and a conducting loop that increases in area at constant rate. It is easy to work out the induced EMF and the associated electric field magnitude and direction (CW or CCW). The magnitude of the E field is E = B v where v is a velocity...

This is related to a question that I asked here: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/650709/one-way-magnetic-shielding. Please take a look at the check-marked answer. There is a material that can act as a one-way magnetic/electric shield. My question is if this material were to be used...

Consider the inertial reference frame in which the positive ions forming the crystal lattice of some portion of a metallic ring are at rest. In this frame, an inertial force of mra exists. Consider the electrons in this portion of the metallic ring. The inertial force of mra is exerted on the...

Hi all. This is probably a simple question, but I am hoping for some guidance on why a service would be delivered with 4 wires as seen in the image. It appears fairly common around here (northeast U.S.), if not standard, for one of the phase-conductors to be 'double-tapped' and go underground...

Inserting wires in existing empty conduit There is an empty PVC conduit size 1.5748" (40mm) in the main entrance panel. It was built around 8 years ago. There is metal wire (see picture above) inside the conduit to pull the main electrical wires from the inside or outside. Is there any...

I have a bit of a mystery with a circa 1905 solenoid and not sure where to turn, hoping someone here might have some insight. The particulars Circa 1905 solenoid (application is an electromagnet in a self-winding clock) 8 layers of windings of 2 different cotton sheathed copper wires paper in...

There's an isolated capacitor initially carrying nonzero net charge. Then place the capacitor in a circuit connected with ideal wires (no resistance). Where will the excess charge go? Can they stay in wires or on any surfaces of conductors in the circuit? Electric field needs to be 0 everywhere...

Hi, this is my VERY FIRST post so if I've made a bundle of noob mistakes accept my pre-emptive mea culpa. I did read and like the rules. I have seen some stories in Phys.org about nano wires and I immediately thought of the nano wires in Larry Niven Known Space milieu which can cut right through...

Homework Statement:: I am studying on my own, so I don't have a specific homework statement, but want to make sure I am thinking about things correctly. What I am wondering is if you have equivalent wires, let's say both are made of copper, and one wire has three times the voltage of the...

For the first part, since $$ E(r) \propto \frac{1}{r} \hat{r}$$ by the principle of superposition the maximal electric field should be halfway in between the two wires. Then I'm not sure how to go about the second part of the question. I understand that the total potential due to the two wires...

Why do the magnetic fields in-between the wires does not seem to cancel? Even those outside each wire? (the fields do are not in opposite direction). Yet most of the people I have talked to until now says that such magnetic fields do cancel? I am confused...

The correct answer is the second one. I honestly have no idea why this is so. I understand that the right rope has less tension that the left one since it's at a shallower angle from real world experience, but I don't really know why this is so, let alone how the forces compare to gravitational...

A common thrope in SF (Endymion, Battle Angel Alita, even Three Body problem mentioned it), something that is so sharp that it can easily cut through tank armor. Could it possibly work in reality without some sort of stabile superheavy element?

please correct me if I'm wrong. is it for the question b, F/l= 0.50 right? does that mean the resultant magnetic force at X is determine by the force at Y and Z? do I need to consider the direction to solve the equation? first step to know the direction of each conductors I use the right hand...

μThe magnetic field is supposed to be B=μ0i/(2πr). I think that the force would be aimed upwards. Now I tried to divide the wire BC to infinite smaller wires where B is roughly constant in each one of them. What I get is: However this is not correct when I plug the relevant numbers in it...

From what I understand, the force between two current-carrying wires can be calculated as: $$\dfrac {F}{L}=\dfrac {\mu _{0}I_{1}I_{2}}{2\pi R} $$ Doesn't this mean: $$\dfrac {F}{L}=\dfrac {\mu _{0}I_{1}I_{2}}{2\pi 1^{2}}=\dfrac {1}{2}kx^{2} $$ ? $$\dfrac {\left( 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\right)...

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...

I got 4.7*sin(377t) micro-Tesla for each wire, but where are they getting the total B-field equaling 0.78 micro-Tesla? Is it some hidden trigonometry?

This is a servo, there is some sort of a hard white paste keep the 3 wires from moving around and accidentally touching each other. It appears to melt with heat. Does anyone know what it is? My guess is putty. Thanks in advance

I need help with the problem above

I've had a lot of problems that involve a segment of current carrying wire, for example when you have a square loop of wire. I have a formula for "long" wires that is B = μ0 * I/(2 * π * d). Can I use this for shorter wire segments, and if not, what formula can I use?
