  2. Lenz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    Lenz's law states that the direction of the electric current induced in a conductor by a changing magnetic field is such that the magnetic field created by the induced current opposes changes in the initial magnetic field. It is named after physicist Heinrich Lenz, who formulated it in 1834. [1]

  3. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    By Lenz's law, an eddy current creates a magnetic field that opposes the change in the magnetic field that created it, and thus eddy currents react back on the source of the magnetic field. For example, a nearby conductive surface will exert a drag force on a moving magnet that opposes its motion, due to eddy currents induced in the surface by ...

  4. Lorentz force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_force

    In physics, specifically in electromagnetism, the Lorentz force law is the combination of electric and magnetic force on a point charge due to electromagnetic fields. The Lorentz force , on the other hand, is a physical effect that occurs in the vicinity of electrically neutral, current-carrying conductors causing moving electrical charges to ...

  5. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    This is stated by Lenz's law, and the voltage is called back EMF. Inductance is defined as the ratio of the induced voltage to the rate of change of current causing it. [ 1 ] It is a proportionality constant that depends on the geometry of circuit conductors (e.g., cross-section area and length) and the magnetic permeability of the conductor ...

  6. Counter-electromotive force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-electromotive_force

    That is, the back-EMF is also due to inductance and Faraday's law, but occurs even when the motor current is not changing, and arises from the geometric considerations of an armature spinning in a magnetic field. This voltage is in series with and opposes the original applied voltage and is called "back-electromotive force" (by Lenz's law).

  8. Electrodynamic suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodynamic_suspension

    Unlike configurations of simple permanent magnets, electrodynamic levitation can be made stable. Electrodynamic levitation with metallic conductors exhibits a form of diamagnetism, and relative permeabilities of around 0.7 can be achieved (depending on the frequency and conductor configuration). Given the details of the applicable hysteresis ...
