I am an ameteur physicist (i actually have my degree in meteorology), and i have some questions about the EM properties of liquid metals or ferrous liquids when in spherical form. I understand if you are too busy or if i sound off, but if you do have the time to answer a few questions, it would be greatly appreciated.

more specifically wat if you surrounded the sphere with an electrical current like an electromagnet, what kind of forces are produced?
 

Thread 'Mechanism of Energy Conservation in Zero-Amplitude Sum of EM Waveforms'

Assume that this is a case where by sheer coincidence, two sources of coherent single-frequency EM wave pulses with equal duration are both fired in opposing directions, with both carrying the same frequency and amplitude and orientation. These two waves meet head-on while moving in opposing directions, and their phases are precisely offset by 180 degrees so that each trough of one wave meets with the crest of the other. This should be true for both the electric and magnetic components of...
