2. Moving magnet and conductor problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_magnet_and...

   Conductor moving in a magnetic field. The moving magnet and conductor problem is a famous thought experiment, originating in the 19th century, concerning the intersection of classical electromagnetism and special relativity. In it, the current in a conductor moving with constant velocity, v, with respect to a magnet is calculated in the frame ...

3. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

   Faraday's law of induction. Faraday's experiment showing induction between coils of wire: The liquid battery (right) provides a current which flows through the small coil (A), creating a magnetic field. When the coils are stationary, no current is induced. But when the small coil is moved in or out of the large coil (B), the magnetic flux ...

4. Einstein's thought experiments - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein's_thought_experiments

   For if the magnet is in motion and the conductor is at rest, there arises in the surroundings of the magnet an electric field endowed with a certain energy value that produces a current in the places where parts of the conductor are located. But if the magnet is at rest and the conductor is in motion, no electric field arises in the ...

5. Arago's rotations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arago's_rotations

   Arago's rotations is an observable magnetic phenomenon that involves the interactions between a magnetized needle and a moving metal disk. The effect was discovered by François Arago in 1824. At the time of their discovery, Arago's rotations were surprising effects that were difficult to explain. In 1831, Michael Faraday introduced the theory ...

6. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

   Electromagnetic or magnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force (emf) across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field. Michael Faraday is generally credited with the discovery of induction in 1831, and James Clerk Maxwell mathematically described it as Faraday's law of induction. Lenz's law describes the direction ...

7. Tests of special relativity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_special_relativity

   Moving magnet and conductor problem (only relative motion is relevant), the Fizeau experiment and the aberration of light (both implying modified velocity addition and no complete aether drag). The result is special relativity theory, which is based on the constancy of the speed of light in all inertial frames of reference and the principle of ...

8. 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 ...

9. Faraday paradox - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_paradox

   The Faraday paradox or Faraday's paradox is any experiment in which Michael Faraday 's law of electromagnetic induction appears to predict an incorrect result. The paradoxes fall into two classes: Faraday's law appears to predict that there will be zero electromotive force (EMF) but there is a non-zero EMF. Faraday's law appears to predict that ...
