Optimum magnet layout for tripping a coil sensor
"Small magnets" will not trip such sensors at all, because those measure the self inductance of the coil. Tripping is done by either increasing inductance from a big ferromagnetic car body, or from l …

When is the force null between parallel conducting wires?
Hmmmm...,
the same formula is for the impedance of a Lecher line!
Z = 1/pi sqrt(µ0/eps0) ln(d/r)
Sometimes the formula is given with arcosh(d/2r) instead of ln(d/r),
I assume that is a variant mo …

The feeling of fuzz on the display surface of a Cathode Ray Tube Television
Your guess is basicly right.
On the backside of the phosphor in a CRT there is a layer of aluminium, which reflects the
light emitted backward to the front, blocks positive ions from damaging the p …

Why does a magnetic field go anticlockwise of the direction of current?
Because
somebody decided to have clocks running clockwise,
and all clockmakers since then followed suite.

How much iron ware to make a Faraday cage
Of cours one need a Faraday cage on that boat.
Just a "lightning rod" would be equivalent to
a stroke passing You at the distance to the rod.
The field in the vicinity can kill You!.
On a boat, Yo …

Why is copper diamagnetic?
What is missing here ist the relation to physical/chemical
status of that "copper".
What are You talking about? Copper metal? Copper
atoms as vapour? Copper ions I or II in aqueous
solution?
As a …

Magnetic fields and gravitational waves. How far do they reach?
In this thread one point was not discussed yet,
as far as I read:
That "wire" (which everybody will assume to be straight)
is misleading. A wire with a battery makes a electric
ciruit! "Circuit" ha …

Why do car keys have longer range when held next to your head?
It works with a lot of body parts. It will work with a piece of
wire too. This keys work at about 433 Mhz, a resonant Lamda/4 antenna
is about 18 cm. Obviously the whole key is shorter, the antanna …

PNMR, Pulsed Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Experiment
1st all electrons in "normal" matter occur in pairs with opposite spins, thus cancelling each other.
Exeptions like stable radicals or O2, which has a triplet ground state, interact with the nuclear …

Is a superconductor perfectly opaque?
At the frequencies (=energy) of visible light, there is no superconductivity.
The band gap due to Cooper pairs is much smaller.
Radiation at higher frequencies (energies) breaks Cooper pairs, creatin …

What would it take to cause lightning to jump between the Moon and the Earth?
The maximum
Voltage before a current flow will occur from moon to earth
is not that Schwinger limit! It is simply the value
when field strength at the moons surface (smaller radius than earth)
