  2. Lenz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    If a change in the magnetic field of current i 1 induces another electric current, i 2, the direction of i 2 is opposite that of the change in i 1. If these currents are in two coaxial circular conductors ℓ 1 and ℓ 2 respectively, and both are initially 0, then the currents i 1 and i 2 must counter-rotate. The opposing currents will repel ...

  3. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    This induced voltage created by the changing current has the effect of opposing the change in current. 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 ]

  4. Shockley–Ramo theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockley–Ramo_theorem

    The Shockley–Ramo theorem is a method for calculating the electric current induced by a charge moving in the vicinity of an electrode.Previously named simply the "Ramo Theorem", the modified name was introduced by D.S. McGregor et al. in 1998 [1] to recognize the contributions of both Shockley and Ramo to understanding the influence of mobile charges in a radiation detector.

  5. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    On the far side of the figure, the return current flows from the rotating arm through the far side of the rim to the bottom brush. 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 ...

  6. Fleming's rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleming's_rules

    Fleming's rules are a pair of visual mnemonics for determining the relative directions of magnetic field, electric current, and velocity of a conductor. [1]There are two rules, one is Fleming's left-hand rule for motors which applies to situations where an electric current induces motion in the conductor in the presence of magnetic fields (Lorentz force).

  7. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    The magnetic Lorentz force v × B drives a current along the conducting radius to the conducting rim, and from there the circuit completes through the lower brush and the axle supporting the disc. This device generates an emf and a current, although the shape of the "circuit" is constant and thus the flux through the circuit does not change ...

  8. 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 ...

  9. Magnetization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetization

    The magnetization field or M-field can be defined according to the following equation: =. Where is the elementary magnetic moment and is the volume element; in other words, the M-field is the distribution of magnetic moments in the region or manifold concerned.
