    I find this an excellent thought experiment, and I have no immediate response. I will mull it over and get back to you if I uncover a response.
    You can confirm the result I describe experimentally very easily with either a large current or a sensitive setup, so your question is excellent.

      Doc Schuster Thanks for your quick reply! I got very confused with the right hand rule of velocity/B/Force for positive charges and its variant with the left hand and the one of intensity/B/force... but after watching this video and others of yours i have finally understood it, greetings from Spain!

    • @DocSchuster
      @DocSchuster  10 років тому +1

      wiza3337 Yay, Spain! Thanks for watching. BTW, you'll find that (barring the Hall Effect or other more complicated experiments, you can't discover whether electrons are going one way or mobile positive charges are going the other way. Lots of symmetry here.

  • @brianmenendez
    @brianmenendez 10 років тому +4

    strange, if you have two electrons stationary , they repel each other (static force), but if you take these same two electrons and shoot them down a parallel path, they then attract each other (two parallel line currents in same direction).
    if two static electrons are placed north and south on the earth, shouldn't the electrons attract each other since the are both travelling parallel due to the direction of the earth's rotation (parallel line currents) ?

    • @DocSchuster
      @DocSchuster  10 років тому

      brian menendez Ultimately, the question is about how big their attraction is. The attraction because of the parallel currents is only noticeable because the wires that hold the currents are neutral. As such, Coulombic repulsion does not need to be overcome. If you propose that solitary electrons need to be going fast enough to actually be net attracted, you can derive special relativity!!! Woot!

    • @brianmenendez
      @brianmenendez 10 років тому +1

      Doc Schuster
      what about Birkland currents in space that don't have any wires as a medium,

    • @DocSchuster
      @DocSchuster  10 років тому

      brian menendez I just learned about Birkeland currents this morning (thanks!), but it seems like they are in a plasma. I would imagine that there are positive charges up in there that are not moving nearly as fast. As I study the sketches of the currents on Wikipedia, they seem to move apart. This is probably because they follow B field lines, but it also may indicate that they are not particularly attracted. Fun question.

    THanks

  • @JoeDeglman
    @JoeDeglman 5 років тому

    Ampere's Law is The Bernoulli principle in a fluid medium. Aka gravity comes from vortices around an axis of flow through a fluid medium. The venturi effect draws the wires together into the low pressure region between the wires, just like elliptical galaxies form between two current carrying galaxies.

  • @amalbubble7812
    @amalbubble7812 11 років тому

    I have a doubt: Suppose there is a space ship which is traveling very fast. Then inside the space ship would two identical charges(like two electrons) attract each other, because they would seem like current going in the same direction. It seems to me that an electron attracting another electron would be ridiculous for the person sitting in the space ship. taking that speed of space ship is enough so that force of attraction becomes greater than electrostatic force of repulsion.

  • @farahroslend

    Wait, is it because the current I2 is the one causing the magnetic flux and this flux it cut by the other wire, 1, to cause a magnetic force on wire1? And that r is used because it gives the magnetic flux density of wire 2, at only the region where the wire 1 cuts the flux?

    Why do we use B2 to find the force on I1? Is it because the I2 wire exerts a force on the I1 ire? If so, then why do we use I1 to find the force on 1? Why not use I2, since it's the I2 wire that's causing the magnetic flux?

  • @johncompter694
    @johncompter694 10 років тому +3

    Good presentation, but the force rises up to about 25% more when the wires are touching each other. Just apply an integration integration of JxB over the cross section of the wire studied. So assume that the wires are infinitely thin otherwise you have to solve a rather complex integration.
