  2. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    The B-field induced by this return current opposes the applied B-field, tending to decrease the flux through that side of the circuit, opposing the increase in flux due to rotation. On the near side of the figure, the return current flows from the rotating arm through the near side of the rim to the bottom brush.

  3. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    Indeed, a galvanometer's needle measured a transient current (which he called a "wave of electricity") on the right side's wire when he connected or disconnected the left side's wire to a battery. [10]: 182–183 This induction was due to the change in magnetic flux that occurred when the battery was connected and disconnected. [7]

  4. Electromotive force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromotive_force

    The light-induced charge separation eventually creates a forward current through the cell's internal resistance in the direction opposite the light-induced current . In addition, the induced voltage tends to forward bias the junction, which at high enough voltages will cause a recombination current I D {\displaystyle I_{D}} in the diode ...

  5. Inductive charging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_charging

    In 1977, John E. Trombly was awarded a patent for an "Electromagnetically coupled battery charger." The patent describes an application to charge headlamp batteries for miners (US 4031449). The first application of inductive charging used in the United States was performed by J.G. Bolger, F.A. Kirsten, and S. Ng in 1978.

  6. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    In electromagnetism, an eddy current (also called Foucault's current) is a loop of electric current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field in the conductor according to Faraday's law of induction or by the relative motion of a conductor in a magnetic field. Eddy currents flow in closed loops within conductors, in planes ...

  7. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    Using a galvanometer, he observed a transient current flow in the second coil of wire each time that a battery was connected or disconnected from the first coil. [10] This current was induced by the change in magnetic flux that occurred when the battery was connected and disconnected. [11]

  8. Lenz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    The current induced in a circuit due to a change in a magnetic field is directed to oppose the change in flux and to exert a mechanical force which opposes the motion. Lenz's law is contained in the rigorous treatment of Faraday's law of induction (the magnitude of EMF induced in a coil is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux ...

  9. Sources of electrical energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sources_of_electrical_energy

    The electric field sends the electron to the p-type material, and the hole to the n-type material. If an external current path is provided, electrical energy will be available to do work. The electron flow provides the current, and the cell's electric field creates the voltage. With both current and voltage the silicon cell has power.
