Effect of magnetic field on stationary charge

Consider a long infinite current carrying wire in N-S direction. Consider a charge +q at a distance of r from wire. Clearly, Lorentz force on charge is 0. But, their is a relative motion between ch …

Current electricity: the drift velocity

Electrons are accelerated for very small time (the relaxation time) ,then they collide with other electrons in metal. The relaxation time is nearly same and constant for each such collision. During th …

Has such experiment been performed before?

Consider a charge of 1C kept a distance of $6*10^8$ m from a detector. I find electric field due to this charge at detector. Then, I suddenly earth that charge and not the time it takes to be detec …

Magnetic field of a current carrying wire reduce/increase exterior magnetic field?

B should remain since Magnetic field is added in upper part and equally subtracted in lower part. Hint: Wire does not experience its own magnetic force. If you let wire to accelerate in $B$ freely …

Electric field around a moving charge

A moving charge has magnetic field around it. Is it just increased electric field in relativistic frame? If yes, does a moving charge has more electric field around it? Update: One shall take conse …

Proton and electron joining [duplicate]

If I have a proton and an electron at rest at some distance apart. Will they form an hydrogen atom when released or they will join together? My intuition says it will form H atom. But I cannot expla …

What is the reason behind the shape of the magnetic field lines in a circular loop?

(source: gsu.edu) Do you know a straight line is a circle with infinite radius. Similarly at centre you get a circle with infinite radius. When wire is bent in form of circle, magnetic field is …

How can we apply Ampère's circuital law in a wire?

How can we apply Ampere's circuital law in a wire to calculate magnetic field around a straight current carrying wire? The length of the wire is not infinite. Using the Biot-Savart law we get $$B = …

Short Circuit Fires

power dissipated is more correctly given by H = I^2 RT. a normal wire or gadget has nearly constant resistance. Before short circuit, a little amount of current flows through it which gives minimal p …
