A Lagrangian For A System Of Two Dyons, Rainer Georg Thierauf Jan 1988

A Lagrangian For A System Of Two Dyons, Rainer Georg Thierauf

Dissertations and Theses

Maxwell's equations for the electromagnetic field are symmetrized by introducing magnetic charges into the formalism of electrodynamics. The symmetrized equations are solved for the fields and potentials of point particles. Those potentials, some of which are found to be singular along a line, are used to formulate the Lagrangian for a system of two dyons (particles with both electric and magnetic charge). The equations of motion are derived from the Lagrangian. It is shown that the dimensionality constants k and k * , which we r e introduced to define the units of the electromagnetic fields, have to be equal …


Copper Electrodeposition In A Magnetic Field, Hiroshi Takeo Jun 1985

Copper Electrodeposition In A Magnetic Field, Hiroshi Takeo

Dissertations and Theses

The effect of a magnetic field on copper electrodeposition was investigated. Copper was electrodeposited onto square copper cathodes 1 sq cm in area from an aqueous solution (0.5 M CuSO4, 0.5 M H2SO4. A glass cell was placed between the pole pieces of an electromagnet, and the magnetic fields applied were in the range from 0 to 12.5 kG. The current density was in the range from 80 mA/sq cm to 880 mA/sq cm. In each of the experiments, cell current, cell voltage, and cell temperature were monitored with a microcomputer. The weight …
