Is the Total Radial Force on a Current-Carrying Hoop Zero?
In summary, the conversation discussed the concept of "total radial force" in the context of stresses in solenoids. The participants debated whether this was a useful quantity or if it could be better described through other terms such as pressure or stress. In the end, it was agreed that the term "total radial force" could be helpful for comparative purposes, but may not be necessary for calculations. The distinction between "total" and "net" was also discussed, with the conclusion that in this context, they are not synonyms.
