Magnetic ball falling inside conducting tube

AI Thread Summary
A magnetic ball with a specific magnetization is falling through a conducting tube, and the problem involves understanding the physics behind its motion. The ball is not rotating and is influenced by its magnetization, which is oriented downward. The individual is unsure how to approach the mathematical aspects of the problem, despite having a general understanding of the physics. They found a relevant paper that discusses similar concepts using monopole approximations but are uncertain about applying a dipole approximation for their spherical case. The discussion highlights the need for clarity on how to express magnetic flux in this context.

Homework Statement


I have a magnetic ball with magnetization M, mass m and radius R that starts to fall from rest through conducting tube of radius a little big larger than R, thickness \Delta and conductivity \sigma. The ball is not rotating, it said that magnetization is oriented vertically down.

Homework Equations


Professor send me this problem, usually I know how to solve the problems that he sends me, but his one I don't know even how to start.

They here use approximation with two monopoles but in my case I have a sphere and I think I sound me approximation with a one dipole but I don't know how to write flux then?

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
