Is it realistic?
Yeah, bitch! Magnets! scene from Breaking Bad
. Source. The interest of the magnetic hysteresis graph is that it serves as an important characterization of a :This curve will also tell you how many turns of the coil will be needed to reach the required field.
- its area gives you the hysteresis loss of the transformer, which is a major cause of efficiency loss of the component
- some key points of the curve give important characterizations of the core/material:
- Saturation magnetisation
- magnetization strength without field
- how much field you need to demagnetize it
Theoretical magnetic hysteresis plot
. Source. 1989. 1989 and they were making such awesome materials. It is hard to understand why university still exists given this.
Shows how you can obtain the magnetic hysteresis curve with an AC source plus an oscilloscope in XY mode. youtu.be/pXukVix5Pcw?t=193 clearly shows the measurement circuit.
2020, thanks COVID-19. Like other UNSW Physics YouTube channel videos, the experimental setup could be made clearer with diagrams.
But this video does have one merit: it shows that the hysteresis plot can be obtained directly with the oscilloscope XY mode by using an AC source. The Y axis is just a measure of the total magnetic field induced by the primary coil + the magnetization of the material itself.
The first application of mobile phones was in motor vehicles Updated 2025-04-18 +Created 2024-06-26
Early models were heavy and not practical for people to carry them, so the main niche they initially filled was being carried in motor vehicles, notably trucks where drivers are commercially driving all day long.
It also helps in the case of trucks that you only need to cover a one-dimensional region of the main roads.
Easy-to-Build Electromagnet lifts over 50 lbs by Dorian McIntire
. Source. Fun, but zero reproducibility.Solenoids are simpler to build as they don't require insulated wire as in modern electrical cable because as the electromagnetic coils don't touch one another.
As such it is perhaps the reason why some early electromagnetism experiments were carried out with solenoids, which André-Marie Ampère named in 1823.
But the downside of this is that the magnetic field they can generate is less strong.
Electromagnets allow us to create controllable magnetic fields, i.e.: they act as magnets that we can turn on and off as we please but controlling an input voltage.
Compare them to permanent magnet: on a magnet, you always have a fixed generated magnetic field. But with an electromagnet you can control the field, and even turn it off entirely.
This type of "useful looking thing that can be controlled by a voltage" tends to be of huge importance in electrical engineering, the transistor being another example.

These were the earlier attempts at decision making systems that could replace intellectual jobs.
Their main problem is that it is very costly to acquire data, which is kind of the main issue that large language models address with their ability to consume natural language input.

LEDs are broadband by nature, since the spontaneous emission broadly speaking reflects the overlap of the Fermi distribution and the density of states
