Closed access Metadata (CSL-JSON)
DOI 10.12700/aph.15.7.2018.7.3
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article presents calculations and visualization of an electric field of a point charge (equipotential lines) and systems of oppositely charged threads, of magnetic field lines of a thin long and straight current-carrying conductor, magnetic field lines inside a cylindrical conductor with evenly distributed current made using the MATLAB language.Calculations of an electric field and potential of a point charge as a function of a distance are provided as well as a potential of a system of oppositely charged threads, magnetic induction of a thin, long current-carrying conductor as a function of a distance and magnetic induction inside the cylindrical conductor are performed.The graphs of these dependencies are drawn.
