  2. Lenz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    The net work on q 1 thereby generates a magnetic field whose strength (in units of magnetic flux density (1 tesla = 1 volt-second per square meter)) is proportional to the speed increase of q 1. This magnetic field can interact with a neighboring charge q 2, passing on this momentum to it, and in return, q 1 loses momentum.

  3. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    Energy is needed to generate a magnetic field both to work against the electric field that a changing magnetic field creates and to change the magnetization of any material within the magnetic field. For non-dispersive materials, this same energy is released when the magnetic field is destroyed so that the energy can be modeled as being stored ...

  4. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    The Maxwell–Faraday equation (listed as one of Maxwell's equations) describes the fact that a spatially varying (and also possibly time-varying, depending on how a magnetic field varies in time) electric field always accompanies a time-varying magnetic field, while Faraday's law states that emf (electromagnetic work done on a unit charge when ...

  5. Magnetic Thermodynamic Systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_Thermodynamic_Systems

    In order to incorporate magnetic systems into the first law of thermodynamics, it is necessary to formulate the concept of magnetic work. The magnetic contribution to the quasi-static work done by an arbitrary magnetic system is [1] = where is the magnetic field and is the magnetic flux density. [3]

  6. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    When the electric current in a loop of wire changes, the changing current creates a changing magnetic field. A second wire in reach of this magnetic field will experience this change in magnetic field as a change in its coupled magnetic flux, . Therefore, an electromotive force is set up in the second loop called the induced emf or transformer emf.

  7. Electromagnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnet

    Magnetic field generated by passing a current through a coil. An electric current flowing in a wire creates a magnetic field around the wire, due to Ampere's law (see drawing of wire with magnetic field). To concentrate the magnetic field in an electromagnet, the wire is wound into a coil with many turns of wire lying side-by-side. [2]

  8. Magnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetism

    An electromagnet attracts paper clips when current is applied, creating a magnetic field. The electromagnet loses them when current and magnetic field are removed. An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. [17] The magnetic field disappears when the current is turned off.

  9. Electromagnetic forming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_forming

    A pinched aluminium can, produced from a pulsed magnetic field created by rapidly discharging 2 kilojoules from a high-voltage capacitor bank into a 3-turn coil of heavy gauge wire. Electromagnetic forming ( EM forming or magneforming ) is a type of high-velocity, cold forming process for electrically conductive metals, most commonly copper and ...
