I wanted a simple but smooth electromagnetic field model of an RF cavity for use in particle tracking. I didn't want to design the whole cavity yet, so assumed a particular on-axis field function and then used Maxwell's equations to give a power series in radius. (I loosely based this on a similar note for magnet fields that I wrote in 2013).

End of my #Electromagnetism course (for engineers) for this semester!

🫠

I just hated the subject when it was first given to me in 2017, and now it became my favourite one.

Here is a short list (10 in total) of what I think are the fundamental small experiments one can easily do at the desk to show the foundation of EM in action .

📄 New publication: "Field measurements of environmental dose rate for trapped charge dating"

Field measurements at or close to the sampling position used for dating are the most direct ways of estimating environmental dose rates. They usually happen in undisturbed settings under natural conditions, avoiding extensive post-processing or modelling. Over the last decades, the trapped charge dating community has pr (...)

Very proud of this test, first time ever I make it work: it shows in a nutshell the wireless transmission of a small power via #Faraday induction effect, from one coil to a secondary coil which is connected to a voltmeter.

Both coils have >1e4 windings.

First, I let the primary coil have an intermittent current, but nothing happens on the secondary. After I insert a ferromagnet instead, the transmitted tension to the secondary goes to a few +-0.1V.

New #Electromagnetism experiment in the class today: THE fundamental one, i.e. Faraday's discovery of the induction law (~1831) in which a variation of the magnetic field flux across a coil generates a voltage, which the voltmeter can measure (a super tiny one here, i.e. 0.01V or so).

Faraday's induction is no less than the foundation of our technology, from the generation of electricity, to its transformation, to wireless anything. You can even cook with it!

Another #Electromagnetism lecture, another live experiment: this one is creating the "tomato battery", i.e. using cherry tomatoes to create zinc-copper galvanic cells and power a small electric watch (which needs about 1.5V to work).
the students realise that a single cell is not enough, and a series of two is needed to get enough voltage.

That's the vegan version of the original experiments by Galvani, in which dead frogs were involved..

In my #Electromagnetism lectures yesterday: trying to show the concept of discharge and breaking of a dielectric medium using a "plasma ball".
The innermost part is elevated to a ~10kiloVolt potential by an upward transformation, which is enough to produce plasma sparks in this rarefied medium.
(btw this thing is cool but I tend to break it once a year, which causes a sharp whistle when the mixture of rare gases leaks out - probably radon, krypton & argon)

Here is the "experiment" of today in the #Electromagnetism class: a tiny replica of the Leiden jar which is a far ancestor of the battery, consisting of a distribution of chargers trapped in in a glass container, which acts as a capacitor when the inner and outer conducting layers are reconnected again.

I used a voltmeter to detect the tiny residual voltage (0.4mV) produced across the bottle after the charging process.
