What's the trick for perfectly visualizing electromagnetism

>>8603251
understand maxwell's equations
this implies understanding analysis (or at least calculus)

>>8603252
I have the math under my belt but some things not clicking

>>8603251
>>8603260
then understand the relativistic approach, because it is a relativistic theory. you need to understand the lorentz transformation and the forces and the way to maxwell equations.

>>8603260
also try to understand lenz rule.

>>8603251
Right hand rule.

>>8603251
Really good FEA software.

>>8603251
Dabs

>>8603251
Just visualize the curvature of a connection on a U(1)-Torsor over 4d Lorentzian manifold.

>>8603326
Literally this

All good suggestions, thanks everyone.

What's your favorite FEA engine for E&M?>>8603334

>>8604181
I haven't used one, but have seen results online. Don't remember their names tho.

>>8604400
Link?

>>8604181
Ansys

>>8604690
Fantastic, I'm already learning ansys for stress amd thermo... do you have any advice about starting with E&M, or about learning Ansys in general?

> do you have any advice about starting with E&M
Start with E&M
Anyways, it doesn't really matter what kind of FEM analysis package you use. Esentially you got to know theory pretty well and all the pitfalls you can encounter with careless analysis.
There are lots of tutorials. Usually when you have a problem to solve you'll prowl forums and read documentation.

>prowl forums and read documentation
Yes, thats the plan. I'm just always looking for general opinions and specific preferences when it comes to software... But I don't really have many choices anyway, I started with ansys because they offer a free student license. I haven't looked into the E&M yet, only stress and thermo.

Pardon my bump

>>8603251
Knowing how to use software to calculate it for you

>>8603252
If you really can visualize the Curl in Maxwells Equations you truly need a holiday.

>>8603251
I just perfectly visualize grand unified force interactions and take the limit where electromagnetism decouples from the rest

>>8607449
yeah ? i visualize my dick at the moment.

>>8607449
That seems like overkill

the problem is, if you don't take an perfectly symmetric example you get very ugly solutions,
e.g. elliptic integrals for the outside of a ring

>>8607627
How do you solve this problem?
