    Angle Law Sign
AI Thread Summary
Bio Savar's law is utilized to calculate the intensity of the magnetic induction vector, with R representing the distance from the wire to the point of interest. The discussion seeks clarity on determining the sign of angles in this context, specifically identifying which angles are considered positive or negative. Participants are encouraged to explain their calculations and the sources of their formulas. A general rule for angle signs in magnetic fields is requested. Understanding these aspects is essential for accurate application of Bio Savar's law.

Hello everyone. I use Bio Savar's law to determine the intensity of the magnetic induction vector.

I use this formula
formula.PNG

R is distance of wire from point in which I calculate intensity of the magnetic induction.

How can I known which angle is positive and which angle is negative from this two angles.Which is a general rule?

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.

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 ...
