Fundamental physical concept behind inductance of a long wire above a ground plane

Please explain the underlying physics concept behind the inductance of a long wire above an infinite ideal ground plane. Sometimes the image method is used and sometimes the coupled magnetic flux ...

Why doesn't current flow stop in LC oscillation?

Why doesn't current flow stop in a LC circuit? It is supposed to stop when the magnitude of emf developed across capacitor is the same as the inductor, right?

What logic is being used in Bleaney & Bleaney to prove the reciprocity theorem for mutual inductance?

I'm currently reading Bleaney & Bleaney 3rd Ed. On pg 136 they discuss the case of 2 coils. Their logic is as follows: If a second coil is brought near to a coil carrying a current $I_1$, there ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Why are partial derivatives of Energy and Co-Energy with respect to x opposite numbers?

In a system where the flux linkage $\lambda = \lambda(x, i)$ is a function of dispalcement $x$ and current $i$. Its energy is defined as $$ W = \int_{0}^{\lambda} i(\lambda', x)d\lambda'. $$ Its co-...

Defining magnetic flux in rotating cylinder

Suppose We have a charged rotating cylinder such that the magnetic field inside it is the same as a solenoid of the exact same dimensions. Obviously, the current per-unit length for both will be the ...

Doubt in the mode of action of inductor in the RL circuit

I feel that my initial question was slightly incoherent and not precise. So instead of making addendum to the question which is making it lengthier, I am editing it completely. So, sorry about that. ...

Inductance of wire over a ground plane: does it change with frequency?

Typically inductance is calculated in the framework of DC currents, i.e. magnetostatic conditions. Then, the value of the inductance is adjusted for the case where the current is no longer DC. One ...

Finding the Magnetic Field within a solenoid

So, I have to find the magnetic field within a solenoid such that the field at a point(on axis) is half than that it would be at the centre. Length of the solenoid is 20cm and the current through it ...

Magnetic Field Lines in a Circular Solenoid

We know about magnetic field lines in a circular loop and a solenoid. While studying them, I thought about how the magnetic field lines would be in a solenoid made circular by bending, forming ...

Magnetic force exerted on an air core inductor

I'm trying to work out a weird case of the magnetic force exerted on a current-carrying loop, and could use some help understanding things. suppose you have an air core inductor / coil, which, when a ...

Is the magnetic field outside a solenoid almost null for AC current?

Despite an answer to this thread, I'm not so sure the magnetic flux outside an infinite ideal solenoid is null whenever the current is AC. I've seen no real proof of that, and the Biot-Savart law ...
