==Historical Background==
 
[[Image:AmpereDiagram.jpg|thumbnail|500px|Diagram of original Ampere experiment]]
 
The form of Ampere's force law commonly given was derived by Maxwell and is one of several expressions consistent with the original experiments of [[André-Marie Ampère|Ampere]] and [[Gauss]]. The x-component of the force between two linear currents I and I’, as depicted in the diagram to the right, was given by Ampere in 1825 and Gauss in 1833 as follows:<ref>{{cite book|last=O'Rahilly|first=Alfred|title=Electromagnetic Theory|year=1965|publisher=Dover|pages=104}}</ref>
 
:<math>  dF_x = k I I' ds' \int ds \frac {\cos(xds) \cos(rds') - \cos(rx)\cos(dsds')} {r^2}. </math>
 
Following Ampere, a number of scientists, including [[Wilhelm Eduard Weber|Wilhelm Weber]], [[Rudolf Clausius]], [[James Clerk Maxwell]], [[Bernhard Riemann]] and [[Walter Ritz]], developed this expression to find a fundamental expression of the force. Through differentiation, it can be shown that:
 
:<math>  \frac{\cos(xds) \cos(rds')} {r^2} = -\cos(rx) \frac{(\cos\epsilon - 3 \cos\phi \cos\phi')} {r^2} </math>.
 
and also the identity:
 
:<math>  \frac{\cos(rx) \cos(dsds')} {r^2} = \frac{\cos(rx) \cos\epsilon} {r^2} </math>.
 
With these expressions, Ampere's force law can be expressed as:
 
:<math>  dF_x = k I I' ds'\int ds' \cos(rx) \frac{2\cos\epsilon - 3\cos\phi \cos\phi'} {r^2} </math>.
 
Using the identities:
 
:<math>  \frac{\partial r} {\partial s} = \cos\phi,  \frac{\partial r} {\partial s'} = -\cos\phi'    </math>.
 
and
 
:<math>  \frac{\partial^2 r} {\partial s \partial s'} = \frac{-\cos\epsilon + \cos\phi \cos\phi'} {r} </math>.
 
Ampere's results can be expressed in the form:
 
:<math>  d^2 F = \frac{k I I' ds ds'} {r^2} \left( \frac{\partial r}{\partial s} \frac{\partial r}{\partial s'} - 2r \frac{\partial^2 r}{\partial s \partial s'}\right)  </math>.
 
As Maxwell noted, terms can be added to this expression, which are derivatives of a function Q(r) and, when integrated, cancel each other out. Thus, Maxwell gave "the most general form consistent with the experimental facts" for the force on ds arising from the action of ds':<ref>{{cite book|last=Maxwell|first=James Clerk|title=Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism|year=1904|publisher=Oxford|pages=173}}</ref>
 
:<math>  d^2 F_x = k I I' ds ds' \left[ \left( \frac{1} {r^2} \left( \frac{\partial r}{\partial s} \frac{\partial r}{\partial s'} - 2r \frac{\partial^2 r}{\partial s \partial s'}\right) + r \frac{\partial^2 Q}{\partial s \partial s'}\right) \cos(rx) + \frac{\partial Q} {\partial s'} \cos(xds) - \frac{\partial Q} {\partial s} \cos(xds') \right]  </math>.
 
Q is a function of r, according to Maxwell, which "cannot be determined, without assumptions of some kind, from experiments in which the active current forms a closed circuit." Taking the function Q(r) to be of the form:
 
:<math>  Q = - \frac{(1+k)} {2r} </math>
 
We obtain the general expression for the force exerted on ds by ds:
 
:<math>  \mathbf{d^2F} = -\frac{k I I'} {2r^2} \left[ (3-k)\hat{\mathbf{r_1}} (\mathbf{dsds'}) - 3(1-k) \hat{\mathbf{r_1}} (\mathbf{\hat{r_1} ds}) (\mathbf{\hat{r_1} ds'}) - (1+k)\mathbf{ds} (\mathbf{\hat{r_1} ds'})-(1+k) \mathbf{d's} (\mathbf{\hat{r_1} ds}) \right] </math>.
 
Integrating around s' eliminates k and the original expression given by Ampere and Gauss is obtained. Thus, as far as the original Ampere experiments are concerned, the value of k has no significance. Ampere took k=-1; Gauss took k=+1, as did Grassmann and Clausius, although Clausius omitted the S component. In the non-ethereal electron theories, Weber took k=-1 and Riemann took k=+1. Ritz left k undetermined in his theory. If we take k = -1, we obtain the Ampere expression:
 
:<math>  \mathbf{d^2F} = -\frac{k I I'} {r^3} \left[ 2 \mathbf{r} (\mathbf{dsds'}) - 3\mathbf{r} (\mathbf{r ds}) (\mathbf{r ds'}) \right] </math>
 
If we take k=+1, we obtain
 
:<math>  \mathbf{d^2F} = -\frac{k I I'} {r^3} \left[ \mathbf{r} (\mathbf{dsds'}) - \mathbf{ds (r ds')} -\mathbf{ds'(r ds)} \right] </math>
 
Using the vector identity for the triple cross product, we may express this result as
 
:<math>  \mathbf{d^2F} = \frac{k I I'} {r^3} \left[ \left(\mathbf{ds}\times\mathbf{ds'}\times\mathbf{r}\right)+ \mathbf{ds'(r ds)} \right] </math>
 
When integrated around ds' the second term is zero, and thus we find the form of Ampere's force law given by Maxwell:
 
:<math>  \mathbf{F} = k I I' \int \int \frac{\mathbf{ds}\times(\mathbf{ds'}\times\mathbf{r})} {|r|^3} </math>
 
==Derivation of parallel straight wire case from general formula==
 
[[Image:Ampere Force-2nd.PNG|thumbnail|300px|Another depiction of the Lorentz force law, showing both the force F<sub>12</sub> on wire 1 due to magnetic field of wire 2, and the equal and opposite force F<sub>21</sub> on wire 2 due to magnetic field of wire 1.]]
 
Start from the general formula:
:<math>  \vec{F}_{12} = \frac {\mu_0} {4 \pi} \int_{L_1} \int_{L_2} \frac {I_1 d \vec{\ell}_1\ \mathbf{ \times} \ (I_2 d  \vec{\ell}_2 \ \mathbf{ \times } \ \hat{\mathbf{r}}_{21} )} {|r|^2}</math>,
Assume wire 2 is along the x-axis, and wire 1 is at y=D, z=0, parallel to the x-axis. Let <math>x_1,x_2</math> be the x-coordinate of the differential element of wire 1 and wire 2, respectively. In other words, the differential element of wire 1 is at <math>(x_1,D,0)</math> and the differential element of wire 2 is at <math>(x_2,0,0)</math>. By properties of line integrals, <math>d\vec{\ell}_1=(dx_1,0,0)</math> and <math>d\vec{\ell}_2=(dx_2,0,0)</math>. Also,
:<math> \hat{\mathbf{r}}_{21} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+D^2}}(x_1-x_2,D,0)</math>
and
:<math> |r| = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+D^2}</math>
Therefore the integral is
:<math>  \vec{F}_{12} = \frac {\mu_0 I_1 I_2} {4 \pi} \int_{L_1} \int_{L_2} \frac {(dx_1,0,0)\ \mathbf{ \times} \ \left[ (dx_2,0,0) \ \mathbf{ \times } \ (x_1-x_2,D,0) \right ] } {|(x_1-x_2)^2+D^2|^{3/2}}</math>.
Evaluating the cross-product:
:<math>  \vec{F}_{12} = \frac {\mu_0 I_1 I_2} {4 \pi} \int_{L_1} \int_{L_2} dx_1 dx_2 \frac {(0,-D,0)} {|(x_1-x_2)^2+D^2|^{3/2}}</math>.
Next, we integrate <math>x_2</math> from <math>-\infty</math> to <math>+\infty</math>:
:<math>  \vec{F}_{12} = \frac {\mu_0 I_1 I_2} {4 \pi}\frac{2}{D}(0,-1,0) \int_{L_1} dx_1 </math>.
If wire 1 is also infinite, the integral diverges, because the ''total'' attractive force between two infinite parallel wires is infinity. In fact, we want to know the attractive force ''per unit length'' of wire 1. Therefore, assume wire 1 has a large but finite length <math>L_1</math>. Then the force vector felt by wire 1 is:
:<math>  \vec{F}_{12} = \frac {\mu_0 I_1 I_2} {4 \pi}\frac{2}{D}(0,-1,0) L_1 </math>.
As expected, the force that the wire feels is proportional to its length. The force per unit length is:
:<math>  \frac{\vec{F}_{12}}{L_1} = \frac {\mu_0 I_1 I_2} {2 \pi D}(0,-1,0) </math>.
The direction of the force is along the y-axis, representing wire 1 getting pulled towards wire 2 if the currents are parallel, as expected. The magnitude of the force per unit length agrees with the expression for <math>F_m</math> shown above.

29 yr old Orthopaedic Surgeon Grippo from Saint-Paul, spends time with interests including model railways, top property developers in singapore developers in singapore and dolls. Finished a cruise ship experience that included passing by Runic Stones and Church. 30 year-old Entertainer or Range Artist Wesley from Drumheller, really loves vehicle, property developers properties for sale in singapore singapore and horse racing. Finds inspiration by traveling to Works of Antoni Gaudí. Earlier than you determine whether or not stainless steel cookware is value shopping for, lets first talk about what stainless steel cookware is. Chrome steel is made from an alloy, or a mix of metals. Mostly, fundamental iron with chromium, nickel or some other minor metals. The chromium supplies rust protection and provides your cookware sturdiness. The nickel provides rust safety as effectively, and provides a refined look. Most effectively made chrome steel cookware has copper or aluminum added to the underside of the pan or pot. This is finished to increases the ability of the pot or pan to conduct heat.
One of the best stainless-steel cookware is the principle category, however nonetheless it is divided into several subcategories based mostly on the quality and the price range. It may be confusing to decide on the very best stainless-steel cookware out of the categories that may meet your requirements. That is where we took a step forward to explain you all the knowledge that will likely be helpful so that you can understand how to decide on the best chrome steel cookware. The best stainless-steel cookware set is manufactured from low-cost to expensive and quality constructed pots and pans.
You will find magnetic stainless steel within the layer on the outside of some high quality pieces of stainless-steel. That is to make it compatible with induction stovetops, which involve using a rapidly charging electromagnetic subject to warmth cookware. High-high quality stainless steel, like All-Clad , uses three layers of steel—the austenite layer of metal on the within, ferrite steel on the outside, and a layer of aluminum sandwiched between the two for optimum heat conductivity (metal alone doesn't conduct warmth evenly). Lesser-high quality stainless-steel is usually only one layer of austenitic chrome steel.
Aesthetically talking, chrome steel is a wise alternative when you favor to show or hang pots or pans. The clean, crisp look of all chrome steel kitchenware can remodel a mishmash of cookware into a complicated décor statement. Chrome steel kettles, such because the Cuisinart Tea Kettle will combine individual kitchenware right into a cohesive and nice entity. Take into account buying stainless-steel utensils as well. Already acquired a gorgeous stainless steel cookware assortment? The Cuisinart Chef’s Collection stainless pot rack could be the crowning glory for a kitchen, liberating up space and making these pots and pans readily accessible. Get the stainless-steel cookware of your culinary goals at Macy’s!
Arduous-anodized aluminum cookware is among the most popular forms of material, despite the fact that many people do not fairly perceive the development. Hard-anodized aluminum is plain aluminum that has been processed in a series of chemical baths charged with an electrical present. The result's a fabric that has the same superior warmth conductivity as aluminum however is non-reactive with acidic meals, similar to tomatoes, and twice as hard as chrome steel. Two drawbacks to laborious-anodized cookware are that it's not dishwasher-secure and, because it isn't magnetic, it will not work with induction range tops.
The enamel over metal method creates a piece that has the heat distribution of carbon steel and a non-reactive, low-stick surface. In the event you loved this information and you desire to acquire details about best stainless steel cookware i implore you to pay a visit to our page. Such pots are a lot lighter than most different pots of comparable dimension, are cheaper to make than chrome steel pots, and would not have the rust and reactivity problems with forged iron or carbon steel. quotation needed Enamel over metal is right for large stockpots and for different giant pans used mostly for water-primarily based cooking. Because of its mild weight and simple cleanup, enamel over metal can also be standard for cookware used while tenting. Clad aluminium or copper edit
Unique specialty cookware items served a la carte to compliment any cookware set are constructed of a sturdy Stainless Steel with a brushed exterior finish. Designed with an impression bonded, aluminum disk encapsulated base which distributes warmth quickly and evenly to permit exact temperature management. Handles are riveted for durability and efficiency. The New Specialty Cookware is compatible for all vary sorts together with induction. Along with the multi use function, another unique characteristic is bottom to top interior quantity markings in each quarts and metric measurement; and each bit comes with a tempered glass lid, oven safe to 350°F.
Whether or not you are a cooking enthusiasts, knowledgeable chef or simply cooking for your family you know the importance of getting a totally stocked kitchen. Not solely do you want the fitting elements, but you also need the right instruments to get the job performed. In any sort of fundamental cooking coaching lesson, you will be taught that chrome steel is your new finest pal when it comes to kitchen cookware. What additionally, you will study is that quality cooking tools does not normally come at a reduced price. Because of this, you will need to take good care of your cookware! Listed here are some fundamentals for stainless steel care.
To combat the uneven heating downside, most stainless steel pans are laminations of aluminum or copper on the underside to spread the warmth around, and stainless-steel contained in the pan to provide a cooking floor that's impervious to whatever you might put inside. In my experience, this chrome steel floor continues to be too sticky to fry on, and when you ever burn it you get a permanent hassle spot. But, sometimes a stainless-steel cooking surface turns out to be useful when you can't use aluminum (see below) so I keep some round. Choose one thing with a fairly thick aluminum layer on the underside.
Well, until you’re a metals professional and go examine the factory where the steel is made to see whether or not their manufacturing course of creates a pure austenite without corrosive supplies shaped, you’re not going to know for sure whether or not the craftsmanship of your stainless is of the very best quality. I think your greatest wager is to simply buy high-quality chrome steel from the start, from a brand with a reputation for good quality. But, I believe I have found out one way that you would be able to decide if the stainless cookware you already have is probably reactive.

The top wire with current I1 experiences a Lorentz force F12 due to magnetic field B2 created by the bottom wire. (Not shown is the simultaneous process where the bottom wire I2 experiences a magnetic force F21 due to magnetic field B1 created by the top wire.

In magnetostatics, the force of attraction or repulsion between two current-carrying wires (see first figure below) is often called Ampère's force law. The physical origin of this force is that each wire generates a magnetic field, as defined by the Biot-Savart law, and the other wire experiences a magnetic force as a consequence, as defined by the Lorentz force.

Equation

The best-known and simplest example of Ampère's force law, which underlies the definition of the ampere, the SI unit of current, states that the force per unit length between two straight parallel conductors is

,

where kA is the magnetic force constant, r is the separation of the wires, and I1, I2 are the direct currents carried by the wires. This is a good approximation for finite lengths if the distance between the wires is small compared to their lengths, but large compared to their diameters. The value of kA depends upon the system of units chosen, and the value of kA decides how large the unit of current will be. In the SI system,[1] [2]

with μ0 the magnetic constant, defined in SI units as[3][4]

newtons / (ampere)2.

Thus, in vacuum,

the force per meter of length between two parallel conductors – spaced apart by 1 m and each carrying a current of 1 A – is exactly
N/m.

The general formulation of the magnetic force for arbitrary geometries is based on line integrals and combines the Biot-Savart law and Lorentz force in one equation as shown below. [5]

To determine the force between wires in a material medium, the magnetic constant is replaced by the actual permeability of the medium.

Historical Background

Diagram of original Ampere experiment

The form of Ampere's force law commonly given was derived by Maxwell and is one of several expressions consistent with the original experiments of Ampere and Gauss. The x-component of the force between two linear currents I and I’, as depicted in the diagram to the right, was given by Ampere in 1825 and Gauss in 1833 as follows:[8]

Following Ampere, a number of scientists, including Wilhelm Weber, Rudolf Clausius, James Clerk Maxwell, Bernhard Riemann and Walter Ritz, developed this expression to find a fundamental expression of the force. Through differentiation, it can be shown that:

.

and also the identity:

.

With these expressions, Ampere's force law can be expressed as:

.

Using the identities:

and

.

Ampere's results can be expressed in the form:

.

As Maxwell noted, terms can be added to this expression, which are derivatives of a function Q(r) and, when integrated, cancel each other out. Thus, Maxwell gave "the most general form consistent with the experimental facts" for the force on ds arising from the action of ds':[9]

.

Q is a function of r, according to Maxwell, which "cannot be determined, without assumptions of some kind, from experiments in which the active current forms a closed circuit." Taking the function Q(r) to be of the form:

We obtain the general expression for the force exerted on ds by ds:

If we take k=+1, we obtain

Using the vector identity for the triple cross product, we may express this result as

When integrated around ds' the second term is zero, and thus we find the form of Ampere's force law given by Maxwell:

Another depiction of the Lorentz force law, showing both the force F12 on wire 1 due to magnetic field of wire 2, and the equal and opposite force F21 on wire 2 due to magnetic field of wire 1.

Start from the general formula:

,

Assume wire 2 is along the x-axis, and wire 1 is at y=D, z=0, parallel to the x-axis. Let be the x-coordinate of the differential element of wire 1 and wire 2, respectively. In other words, the differential element of wire 1 is at and the differential element of wire 2 is at . By properties of line integrals, and . Also,

and

Therefore the integral is

.

Evaluating the cross-product:

.

Next, we integrate from to :

.

If wire 1 is also infinite, the integral diverges, because the total attractive force between two infinite parallel wires is infinity. In fact, we want to know the attractive force per unit length of wire 1. Therefore, assume wire 1 has a large but finite length . Then the force vector felt by wire 1 is:

.

As expected, the force that the wire feels is proportional to its length. The force per unit length is:

.

The direction of the force is along the y-axis, representing wire 1 getting pulled towards wire 2 if the currents are parallel, as expected. The magnitude of the force per unit length agrees with the expression for shown above.
