Terminal velocity of a bar magnet in a long conducting tube (quantitative)
If a bar magnet is dropped into a copper (conducting) tube, it reaches a terminal velocity. I'm trying to derive this terminal velocity.
We know from Lenz's law that $e=\frac{-d\phi}{dt}$.
I'm facing ...

What actually happens when light goes into a waveguide?
I have only dealt with a rudimentary theoretical treatment of how light propagates inside a waveguide, such as those available in Griffiths.
One thing bugging me is that I still do not know how ...

Flux change through a loop
I'm having difficulties understanding this thing. It would be lovable if someone could show me its derivations and prove it:
In a conducting loop, there is a relationship between the total displaced ...

I am trying to derive an expression for the magnetic field of charged particles travelling at significant fractions of speed of light [closed]
I tried using lorentz transformation , which gives me correct answer for speed of light c but when i try to input any other values nearby c it becomes a constant
B = 10-7 . q/r² ( (v - u)/ 1- uv/c²)

Permittivity real and imaginary parts with similar value possible?
Here's the context; I'm studying biological tissues that are supposed to behave like dielectrics. Using the modified cole-cole equation for theoretical predictions:
$$\tilde{\varepsilon}_r (\omega )= \...

Transformers: How does current in primary coil change?
I was doing a question on transformers and found this really confusing question:
A 100% efficient transformer converts a 240V input voltage to a 12V
output voltage. The output power of the ...

Derivation of covariant derivative
I'm currently doing Introductory QFT and was confused about the origin of the additional terms in the covariant derivate. My understanding is as follows:
If we begin with the Dirac Lagrangian ...

Why electric field increase near the cable connected in AC 220V socket even current is zero?
If I put low frequency electric field meter near the connected cable in AC 220V socket, he show 1200 V/m even if device is turn OFF(zero current), if disconnect cable from socket, field drop to 8 V/m.

Assessing Error Step Size in Continuous Charge Distributions
For obtaining the electric field for bodies at the macroscopic scale, the discontinuities in the charge distributions are ignored. A continuous function for the charge distribution is considered.
But ...

Magnetic field for a cylindrical shell in which current flows
If we have a cylindrical shell along the z-axis, with current density $\vec j= j_0 \vec e_z$ and small radius $R_i$ and big radius $R_a$. I tried to find the magnetic field inside by using Ampere's ...

Force acting on an infinite wire with current inside a magnetic medium
I've recently stumbled on an electromagnetics problem that I don't quite understand.
There is an infinite wire carrying current I that is placed inside a medium with magnetic permittivity μ1. At a ...

Coulomb Gauge misunderstanding
If we have $\vec A(\vec r,t)$ and $\phi (\vec r,t)$ and we make the following gauge transformations:
$$\vec A(\vec r,t)'= \vec A(\vec r,t) + \nabla f(\vec r,t)$$
$$\phi(\vec r,t)'=\phi(\vec r,t) - \...

Opacity/transparency of conductive meshes to charged particles (electrons/ions)
When using a conductive (metal) mesh, effectively a metallic woven fabric, in vacuum applications as a "grid" for charged particle optics, how does one calculate (or at least estimate) the opacity or ...
