Perpendicular-Axis Theorem01:16

Perpendicular-Axis Theorem

3.9K
The perpendicular-axis theorem states that the moment of inertia of a planar object about an axis perpendicular to its plane is equal to the sum of the moments of inertia about two mutually perpendicular concurrent axes lying in the plane of the body.
Consider a circular disc of mass M and radius R lying along an x-y plane. The origin lies at the center of the disc, and the z-axis is perpendicular to the disc's plane. All three axes coincide at the disc's center. The moment of inertia of this...

Equipotential Surfaces and Field Lines01:29

Equipotential Surfaces and Field Lines

4.5K
Electric potential can be pictorially represented as a three-dimensional surface. On such a surface, the electric potential is constant everywhere. The equipotential surface is always perpendicular to the electric field lines, and while it is three-dimensional, it can be treated as an equipotential line in a two-dimensional case. These equipotential lines are also always perpendicular to electric field lines. The term equipotential is often used as a noun, referring to an equipotential line or...

Kirchhoff's Rules01:21

Kirchhoff's Rules

5.3K
Gustav Kirchhoff (1824–1887) devised two rules known as Kirchhoff's rules to analyze complex circuits, which cannot be analyzed with series-parallel techniques. These rules can be used to analyze any circuit, simple or complex.
Kirchhoff's first rule is called the junction rule. A junction, also known as a node, is a connection of three or more wires. The rule states that the sum of all currents entering a junction must equal the sum of all currents leaving the junction.

Biot-Savart Law01:19

Biot-Savart Law

7.9K
The Biot-Savart law gives the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field produced by a current. This empirical law was named in honor of two scientists, Jean-Baptiste Biot and Félix Savart, who investigated the interaction between a straight, current-carrying wire and a permanent magnet.
A current-carrying wire creates a magnetic field in its vicinity. Consider an infinitesimal current element dl in a wire. The direction of vector dl is along the direction of the current. The total magnetic...

Gauss's Law: Spherical Symmetry01:26

Gauss's Law: Spherical Symmetry

8.6K
A charge distribution has spherical symmetry if the density of charge depends only on the distance from a point in space and not on the direction. In other words, if the system is rotated, it doesn't look different. For instance, if a sphere of radius R is uniformly charged with charge density ρ0, then the distribution has spherical symmetry. On the other hand, if a sphere of radius R is charged so that the top half of the sphere has a uniform charge density ρ1 and the bottom half has a...

Coriolis Force01:23

Coriolis Force

5.1K
An accelerating particle experiences a force equal to the mass multiplied by the acceleration in an inertial frame of reference. Consider a particle in a non-inertial frame of reference, such as a sliding ball on a rotating table. The acceleration of the ball in this rotating reference frame is different than in the intertial frame, which modifies its equation of motion. The fictitious forces acting additionally on a rotating frame of reference alter Newton's Second Law expression.
