Magnetic field due to current
A spinning electron creates a magnetic field.But what about an electron inside a current carrying wire electron is spinning around its axis and revolving in loop,both simultaneously.So,what if both the situations contradict (both magnetic fields are in opposite direction ).net M.F. should be zero then. I mean what is the fate of electron in a current carrying wire with respect to its spin?

Electric potential due to a dipole
If a point lies at a distance x from the midpoint of the dipole the electric potential is?
Asked Sai Mohan
Answer:
If the distance x is along the equatorial plane (a plane passing through the midpoint and perpendicular to the axis), the potential will be zero.
Please clarify what did you mean.

Current Electricity – Drift Velocity based numerical
Two different wires X and Y of same diameter but different materials are joined together in series across a battery . If the number density of electrons in X is twice that in Y . Find ratio of drift velocity of electrons in two wires .
Asked Kavita
Answer:
In series combination, the current is the same.
I = nAev
=> n1v1 = n2 v2
=> v1:v2 =n2:n1

What are plasmons?
A plasmon is a quantum of plasma oscillation, just like photon is a quantum of light radiation.
Plasmon is a quasiparticle resulting from the quantization of plasma oscillations.
Plasmons play a large role in the optical properties of metals. Light of frequency below the plasma frequency is reflected, because the electrons in the metal screen the electric field of the light. Light of frequency above the plasma frequency is transmitted, because the electrons cannot respond fast enough to screen it. In most metals, the plasma frequency is in the ultraviolet, making them shiny (reflective) in the visible range.
Surface plasmons
Surface plasmons are those plasmons that are confined to surfaces and that interact strongly with light resulting in a polariton

Why there is no magnetic field around a disconnected copper wire
Moving electrons produce magnetic field right? Electrons on earth are moving at an average of 27.83m/s due to earths rotation plus 30m/s due to earths revolution and may be more due to sun’s revolution and our galaxy’s revolution.
since there is no absolute motion, how can we tell if electrons are moving?
If the electrons are moving, anyway, why is there no magnetic field around a disconnected copper wire?

Why protons and electrons do not collapse and cancel?
According to Physics opposite charges always attract But in an atom the distance between nucleus and electrons are small then why electrons didnt combined with protons? protons and electrons have opposite charges.But why they didnt combined each other?
Asked Gowtham
KS Samy answers:
the minimum distance between nucleus and orbital electron have minimum energy, as well as large distance it as more energy.”
