Since ONLY circling electric currents of one sort or another can create, and/or definitely detect, so called magnetic lines of force, why shouldn't I...
Physics Monkey Do I have to have a graduate degree in physics in order to be allowed to maintain that a DC loop current contains at least 2...
Physics Monkey: You remind me of my mother when she saw me, as a boy, eyeing a large clock we had, with concentrated interested. She said, quite...

Thank you for some thoughtful, if hasty, input Physics Monkey. Physics Monkey said: "I'm sure I could, Ophiolite, but I just don't have time to...
Thanks Ophiolite. I could have said that, but the previous posters would just think I was being grouchy. Coming from a person with 1,596 posts here,...

Did anyone ever check with Einstein's grandmother on that? We'd all love physics to be explained to us that way. Just think of the saving on...
What both the loop currents and the straight currents have in common is they both have inductive fields which the working physicist and electrical...
One usually says that a circular current in a loop of wire has a magnetic field. But one can also say that a magnet, or it equivalent, has a circular...
Refer to standard diagrams of magnetic fields. Fairfield
If "electr" means electron. Yes, of course it does. My definition of a magnet is in paragraph 2 of this thread starter. Fairfield
It appears to me that you are comparing the attraction between two current carrying wires to the attraction between two magnets, or to two same...
Exactly so. The only logical excuse for a magnetic field to be called a magnetic field is because it is caused by a magnet or its equivalent....
A magnetic field is a magnetic field (requiring a magnet, or its equivalent). and a current carrying wire's field is a wire's field with only one...
I am not denying that there is a field around a current carrying wire which can induce a current in an adjacent wire with change or motion. But it is...
In studying magnetism, It is clear to me that a problem arises from misconstruing what a compass needle really is indicating when it is placed near a...
