The perpendicular force ( FB ) acting upon a positively charged particle moving with a constant velocity ( v ) gives rise to interesting and practical real-world applications: As the equation shows, the magnitude of this force is greatest when it travels through a magnetic field ( B ) at a 90o angle. As aContinue reading “MAGNETISM AND ELECTROMAGNETISM: Elementary Particle Accelerator Design”

MATHEMATICS: The Unit Circle, Sine, Cosine, and Tangent Functions
Linear momentum ( p ) will be maximally conserved when two particles moving towards one another with a constant velocity ( v ) along a straight line collide: p1i + p2i = p’1f + p’2f Things become somewhat more complicated when some measurable entity is maximized or minimized when it passes through some other entityContinue reading “MATHEMATICS: The Unit Circle, Sine, Cosine, and Tangent Functions”
INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: DC Motors
We have seen how a conducting wire moving with respect to an electric field ( B ) will experience forces upon its electrons. Consider the diagram below: Due to the proper ( perpendicular ) alignment of the loop and magnetic field, the maximum amount of DC current will be produced; however the voltages and currentsContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: DC Motors”
