  2. 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 .

  3. IISER Aptitude Test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IISER_Aptitude_Test

    IAT consists of 60 questions: 15 questions each from Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics. Total time for answering the test is 3 hours. Questions are of multiple choice type with only one correct answer. Each correct answer is awarded 4 marks. Each incorrect answer leads to the deduction of 1 mark. Unanswered questions are awarded 0 mark.

  4. Hering's Paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hering's_Paradox

    The correct answer to this question is "Yes, it does", and it is one of the pitfalls concerning the application of Faraday's Law. For some people it is contraintuitive to assume that a Lorentz force is exerted to a charge although there is no relative motion between the magnet and the charge.

  5. Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

    There are various mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field that are used in the study of electromagnetism, one of the four fundamental interactions of nature. In this article, several approaches are discussed, although the equations are in terms of electric and magnetic fields, potentials, and charges with currents, generally ...

  7. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    Eddy currents in conductors of non-zero resistivity generate heat as well as electromagnetic forces. The heat can be used for induction heating. The electromagnetic forces can be used for levitation, creating movement, or to give a strong braking effect. Eddy currents can also have undesirable effects, for instance power loss in transformers.

  8. Jefimenko's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefimenko's_equations

    In electromagnetism, Jefimenko's equations (named after Oleg D. Jefimenko) give the electric field and magnetic field due to a distribution of electric charges and electric current in space, that takes into account the propagation delay (retarded time) of the fields due to the finite speed of light and relativistic effects.

  9. Faraday paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_paradox

    The paradox appears a bit different from the lines of flux viewpoint: in Faraday's model of electromagnetic induction, a magnetic field consisted of imaginary lines of magnetic flux, similar to the lines that appear when iron filings are sprinkled on paper and held near a magnet. The EMF is proposed to be proportional to the rate of cutting ...
