What happens if a current flows through a wire wrapped around a magnetised material?

A cylinder of radius $a$ has a uniform magnetisation along its axis, which results in zero bound volume current density and a bound surface current density $M\hat{\phi}$. A coil with $N$ turns and ...

How to get the magnetic field strength in space near a solenoid

I am trying to find the magnetic field strength along the axis of a solenoid. If I know the strength of the field at the center of the solenoid, and I know the distance from the center of the ...

How is EMF still induced in an incomplete/open circuit?

I understand that current can't flow through a coil if it is not complete, but surely this means that if a magnet is dropped through the coil, no EMF would be induced either, since work is done when a ...

Magnetic flux inside solenoid

Suppose that I have a small coil that is moved at a steady rate into a solenoid. The solenoid already has a current passing through (basically, it is an electromagnet). The small coil starts beyond ...

Does a magnetized sphere contain energy

I believe this question is similar to "does a permanent magnet contain energy", which I understand to be no, but I just want to be sure. Say we have uniformly magnetized sphere with magnetization $M_0\...

How can we derive the polarity of the induced voltage in an inductor?

As we know, the voltage-current relation of a two-terminal constant-inductance inductor is: $v_L(t) = L \, \dfrac{\mathrm di_L(t)}{\mathrm dt} \tag 1$ I've managed to prove that equation without ...

Why does electrical impedance have as many parameters as it has?

The impedance of a circuit is written: $$ Z(R,L,C,f) = R + j ( 2 \pi f L - \frac{1}{2 \pi f C} ). $$ What is the line of thinking that frequency, resistance, capacitance, and inductance are the only ...

Why in a solenoid, do the magnetic field lines resemble that of a bar magnet?

Each loop in the solenoid will have its own magnetic field wrapped around it. In that case it won't resemble the magnetic lines formed by a bar magnet...; but we see that it is the same. Why is that?

Why is the magnetic flux proportional to the current (Inductance)?

I'm trying to understand the reasoning behing this formula, or how to get there, if possible, using Maxwell's equations: $$\Phi_i = L_i I_i + M_{ij} I_j$$ From the wikipedia page of inductance I got ...

Contradiction using amperes law to calculate magnetic field $B$

I am trying to study the influence on the magnetic field B generated by a solenoid in two different cases the solenoid is wound around an open iron core the solenoid is wound around a closed iron ...

How to demonstrate the inductance of an inductor?

I have some troubles to demonstrate this formula. Actually my problem is about how the length of the coil is integrated in the formula... I could understand, that the electromotive force $V_L$ is ...
