B Dimensional Spin Inspection

AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the relationship between the dimensions of spin and other physical quantities, such as action and angular momentum, suggesting a connection to electromagnetic dimensions. Specifically, it notes that in the MKS system, spin can be expressed in units of ohm·coulomb², independent of mechanical units. The role of the photon, which possesses spin and is an electromagnetic phenomenon, is questioned for its potential to unify disparate concepts in physics. Additionally, the conversation touches on the definitions of units in the SI system, linking them to fundamental constants like h and e. Overall, the exploration raises intriguing questions about the implications of these dimensional relationships in physics.

TL;DR Summary
We learn that the dimensions of spin coincide with the dimensions of other magnitudes, for example action and angular momentum. They also coincide with a purely electromagnetic jeep dimensional form.

$$\left[spin\right] = \left[ electric \ resistance \right] \ \left[electric \ charge \right]^2$$
In the MKS system, the spin admits the the following units. $$ohm \cdot coulomb^2$$ It is say, without reference to units linked to mechanics.

The photon is an electromagnetic phenomenon that has spin. Could that have any importance? Could it lead to a way of uniting concepts that we do not usually think about?

In SI system unit ohm is defined by h and e, and unit coulomb is defined by e. I am not sure that your electromagnetic dimensional form is meaningful. Photon has mometum and angular momentum. Spin anglurar momentum of photon is nothing new to me.

You should be able to do that with any mechanical units. This isn’t unique to spin
 
Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (Second part)'
I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...
Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'
Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.
