Coilgun projectile force calculation

Please excuse me if I am completely wrong because I am a 9th grader but I hopefully am able to explain briefly about my problem. I was trying to create a function to calculate the Force of an iron ...

Are there losses in an ideal transformer?

In a circuit with an AV power source $V$ and a zero-resistance ideal coil, the power from the source. $P_{in} = IV$ is equal to the rate of change in the magnetic energy $U_B$ stored in the coil. The ...

Why is the flux not zero here (Faraday's law)?

I've recently been reading the Griffiths Electrodynamics book, and came across this problem (7.17, 4th edition) and its solution: I don't have any objections for the solution to part a). I have, ...

Is AC voltage across transformer pi shifted?

Suppose the voltage in the primary coil in a capacitor be Vprimary = Vosin(wt) According to my understanding, as the (AC) current in the circuit increases, the Magnetic flux across the secondary ...

Magnetic field strength just outside of a solenoid

From my understanding, the magnetic field inside a solenoid is constant, so at points C and D, the magnetic field strength is the same. Magnetic field strength outside solenoid is minimal and is ...

Current and Magnetic Poles of a Solenoid (Diagram) & Right Hand Thumb Rule

Well, my doubt's pretty elementary. Firstly I wanted to confirm whether both the cases, as illustrated in the picture, are correct. I've darkened the part of each coil that faces us. Using the clock-...

Determining the condcutivity of a material by method of contactless resistance caused by putting a sample rod in the inductor of an RLC circuit

I'm doing an experiment where I'm trying to determine the conductivity of a material by putting a sample rod in the center of a coil which is a part of an RLC circuit with an AC generator. I was told ...

How different is the induced magnetic field of a coil with a solid rod core and a sheet-wrapped one? (Assuming both use the same material)

I'm doing research for a university project and looking for commercial references for Mu metal, I found out that in my country at P2B (particular to business) level, sheets are significantly easier to ...

Does parasitic capacitance contribute to the magnetic flux?

When modeling a real inductor, typically the equivalent circuit is the following one: Source A series resistance and parallel capacitor is added. This model works very well to explain the following ...

Magnetic field in a capacitor in a $LC$ circuit

Consider a simple $LC$ circuit in which the charge on the capacitor varies sinusoidally. Current flows in this circuit, changing the charge on the capacitor and hence changing the electric field ...

How to find magnetic permeability of a mixed core?

Inserting a ferromagnetic rod into the core of an inductor increases its inductance. If the change in inductance is known, the following equation can be used (or so I assume) to find the relative ...

How to calculate impedance in a wire moving through a magnetic field?

I'm trying to build a homemade rail accelerator. I understand that the force on a wire is proportional to the cross product of the magnetic field vector and the current vector. I asked my professor ...

Does the unit "volt-seconds" have any interesting interpretation?

I was contemplating the units of capacitance and inductance in electrical circuit theory and noticed something that bugs me. Although there are many equivalent ways to write the farad (seconds per ohm,...

Electric Field in an Infinite Alternating Current Solenoid

Reading Wangsness's Magnetic Fields book I stumbled upon an explanation I can't understand. It goes like this: There's an alternating current solenoid with radius $a$. We know the magnetic induction ...
