  • We've all played with magnets before watching them attract or repel via magnetic force. In this video, I make the bold claim that magnetic force doesn't actually exist. It's an illusion.

And why do they say that electric and magnetic waves are perpendicular to each other if they're actually one in the same?

    • @ScienceAsylum

      Working with and thinking about a "magnetic field" is just easier than reality. We do the same thing with the Coriolis effect and the Centrifugal force. Neither of those things are real, but they're easier to work with. Reality can be down-right impossible to deal with sometimes. When it comes to light waves (electric and magnetic waves), those are waves in the values of the "fields" ...and "fields" are /completely/ made up, so don't try to read into that too much. A deep understanding of light requires quantum physics, but a deep understanding usually unnecessary to make predictions about what light will do... so we use forces and fields instead because they're easier.

      The main problem is, that most of you confuse static fields with electromagnetic induction. Electromagnet is NOT a pernament magnet - and they have slightly different properties. In the case of static fields, magnetic and electric forces are NOT just different aspects of a single force - they are 2 completely different forces, produced in different ways and affecting different materials. If you don't believe me, then check, if a compass needle will be affected by static electric charge - I've checked it by myself and it didn't. But static charge will affect a needle, which is made of tin foil (which won't be affected by magnetic fields).
      Both electrostatic and magnetostatic fields have such properties, as dimensional size and magnitude, so both fields are physically real. Magnetic domains can be observed under microscope, while electrons have mass - both are absolutely objective...

      as a chemist working on molecular magnets, i can assure you no one really "gets" magnetism at the fundamental level.
      no theory actually explains the fundamental root of magnetism, all of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory is pure mathematics and some conventions. Like the direction of magnetic moment, or angular momentum, totally arbitrarily chosen.
      Spin itself is also not fundamentally known, all we know is that electrons carry instrinsic angular momentum, how is this actually happening? No one knows.
      Some cannot be known.

      @firdacz 8 років тому +1

      And could you give me the explanation (why is the wire trully neutral and the electrons not denser thanks to length contraction) or point me somewhere where I can get more info? Thx

    • @ScienceAsylum
      @ScienceAsylum  8 років тому +8

      [Property 1] Charge is conserved (doesn't change in a closed system).
      [Property 2] Charge is invariant (the same in all frames of reference).
      Let's say our system is a wire and a battery. At first, they're not connected, so no current is flowing. At this time, both the wire and the battery are neutral (no net charge). After we connect the wire to the battery, the current begins to flow quickly reaching a steady drift speed. The wire-battery system was neutral before and, by conservation of charge, must be neutral after. Even though the electrons are now moving, they will redistribute themselves to maintain zero net charge.
      If we shift to the reference frame where the electrons are sitting still and the nuclei are moving, a similar thing happens. Originally, both look like they're moving, so they're both Lorentz contracted (and still no net charge because charge is invariant). When you connect the battery, the electrons are brought to rest creating a charge density in that section of wire. That's a problem since charge is conserved. The net charge for the whole circuit must remain zero, so the other side of the circuit must have the opposite charge density to balance it out.
      The reason the diagram is misleading when you ask question like this is because the diagram doesn't show the entire system. That little section of wire has a charge density, but the entire circuit's charge density is not uniform.

    • @firdacz
      @firdacz 8 років тому +6

      Thx. I have already realized the other half - if electrons are stationary in the "upper" wire, they have to move at almost the double speed of the protons/atoms int he "lower" wire. That makes negative charge there, because those electrons in "lower" wire are shrinked (closer than protons/atoms are).
      I was wondering about the wire's frame. I will try to reword your explanation: "The wire-battery system was neutral before and, by conservation of charge, must be neutral after." So, electrons cannot pop into existence from nowhere, so they will maintain their distance even if accelerated by the battery. The battery creates a pressure in one direction, like a water pump. Some "energy" of that pump have to fight the length contraction produced by relativistic effect - can we say that? It produces "lower pressure", but that gets equalized eventually (making the wire neutral again, same "pressure" everywhere).
      P.S.: Lower pressure on one side of the battery and higher pressure on the other side. That travels through the wire to eventually cancel out.... correct?

    I never thought of the impact of length contraction on the observation of charge neutrality of a live wire. Interestingly, the length contraction argument applies in the wire rest frame as well. It must be that the electrons in the current naturally space space themselves out in a way that exactly compensates for the length contraction an observer in the wire's rest frame would measure in order to preserve charge neutrality in the wire rest frame. Thus, only in the rest frame of the wire (or in an inertial frame moving perpendicularly to the wire) does the wire appear to be charge neutral. In any other inertial frame, the length contractions of the wire and the electron current would be different. This would result in observations of non-neutral linear charge densities... Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing!

      "difference between magnetic and electromagnetic force".... these are one in the same, you cant have moving charges or electricity without magnetism, they go together, thus the term electromagnetism. See how both are combined into one word/thing? Thats for a reason, like space-time as being one entity. Research underlying subjects before you blindly fall into flawed ideas as cold facts.

They are both technically “debris”, but they are separated by term so there’s no confusion. Like the James Webb telescope: They have said it will definitely be hit with “debris” (an article said this), it was misleading because there isn’t any man made debris at the L2 point. They were referring to the micrometeorites that would hit it.

      @alwayscurious413 6 років тому

      I'm going for a yes on this one. My reckoning is that if we could stop everything from moving everywhere and we had a stationary electric charge, then it would have a stationary electric field surrounding it? There would be nothing magnetic going on because nothing is moving? As an analogy to this I say that I can point my finger into the air and hold it there and people can see my stationary finger pointing ; If I make a rotation motion with my finger then I immediately can define clockwise to an observer and similarly I must thereby define anticlockwise too this is a kin to there being no such thing as a magnetic monopole. I'm trying to avoid relativity if I can too as I don't think it should be needed to resolve any of this?

      I don't want to scare you but what if fields were real?
      Think about it: when you read my words, you catch the idea I want to express to you. Then this idea is an information I transfered to you. Is there something that can be identified as an idea? Not the letters, not the screen, something that *is* the idea? No, nothing. Does the idea exists? Of course it is, but what it is, we don't know.
      What about fields? Couldn't they be informations, ideas, too?
      As you see, information doesn't need any physical things to be. But it needs something to catch it and to make it become real (like our brain)...And it needs something to create it at first.
      Now, you have these questions: who create these informations which create our universe? where are these informations? Are they located? And how does something (what?) access it?
      Abstraction is a beautiful tool, but it can lose you because nothing is real in an abstract world.
      Is our whole universe just an abstraction?
      So many questions... but interesting ones, isn't it?

    Hmm... that's interesting! So, a beam of electrons moving in a vacuum won't produce a magnetic field, and so that would mean that electrical current is not just defined as moving charges but relative motion between charges! If the protons in the wire are hypothetically turned into anti-protons, the magnetic field would be reversed. Thanks, Nick!

    • @ScienceAsylum
      @ScienceAsylum  8 років тому +1

      That's not exactly what I said. One charge moving in a vacuum is not an electric current... but a bunch of them in a stream do. It's just that ALL motion is relative to SOMETHING. If you had an empty universe with just a stream of electrons in it, saying "they're moving" would have no meaning. For "motion" to have meaning, there must be something else around... and for electric current, that's usually positive nuclei.

      Particle accelerators smash protons together. The faster they make those protons go before they hit each other, the more energy they have. With more energy available, higher energy particles can be made (most of which are combinations of unstable quarks, so they don't last very long).
