Maxwell Stress Tensor on a Capacitor Plate Given a Dielectric
Given a capacitor with large plates (area $A$) separated by a dielectric with relative permittivity $\varepsilon_r$ and thickness $g$, I believe the Maxwell stress tensor states that the force on each ...

How to derive magnetic moment for integrated circuit level?
Imagine we have a circuit on the xy-plane, with a random geometry (it just need to be closed). I want to calculate the magnetic moment of this setup:
$$\vec{m} = \frac{1}{2} \int_V d^3 x' \vec{x}' \...

About the notation for TEM waves
I just came across this article where the term "$\mathrm{TE}_{101}$ microwave mode" is mentioned. Other than the basics of TEM waves which I learned in Griffiths, this is the first time I ...

What's the coordinate of the Landau tube?
The Hamiltonian of a three-dimensional electron gas in a static magnetic field $\vec{B}$ is :
$$\hat{H}=\frac{(\hat{\vec{p}}+e\hat{\vec{A}})^2}{2m}$$
If choosing $\vec{B}=B\vec{e_z}$ and using Landau ...

How is the index notation for the electromagnetic potentials defined?
I don't understand, how the $\vec{A}$ potential is defined in the covariant formulation of the Maxwell-Equations.
I am using the metric $(+,-,-,-)$.
The electric field (SI-Units) is defined as:
$$
\...

Lenz law - Direction of induced current
I understand the Lenz Law is such that it tells us that the induced current must be in a direction that makes the end of the solenoid facing the magnet behave as a North Pole to repel the magnet’s ...

Motor Effect Experiment
I recently saw an demonstration (image below) where the motor effect was being shown. They used the fact that forces come in pairs (Newton's third law) and so when current goes through the copper rod, ...

How does changing the angular frequency ω of the generator affect the current flowing in the circuit and the power transferred to the electric motor?
When an electric motor is used with an electric generator, the situation can be viewed as an RLC circuit where the generator is an AC power source. The source produces a sinusoidal AC voltage with an ...

Eddy current brake with superconductor
There are eddy current brakes used with metal plates to stop trains. It converts kinetic energy of the metal plate to heat via eddy current on it. So what if we have a superconducting metal plate and ...
