  2. 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 ...

  3. Lenz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    The direction of an induced current can be determined using the right-hand rule to show which direction of current flow would create a magnetic field that would oppose the direction of changing flux through the loop. [8] In the examples above, if the flux is increasing, the induced field acts in opposition to it.

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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 ]

    [6] [7] [8] Quizlet's blog, written mostly by Andrew in the earlier days of the company, claims it had reached 50,000 registered users in 252 days online. [9] In the following two years, Quizlet reached its 1,000,000th registered user. [10] Until 2011, Quizlet shared staff and financial resources with the Collectors Weekly website. [11]

  7. Geomagnetically induced current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Geomagnetically_induced_current

    A time-varying magnetic field external to the Earth induces telluric currents—electric currents in the conducting ground. These currents create a secondary (internal) magnetic field. As a consequence of Faraday's law of induction, an electric field at the surface of the Earth is induced associated with time variations of the magnetic field ...

  8. Inductive coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_coupling

    A changing current through the first wire creates a changing magnetic field around it by Ampere's circuital law. The changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) voltage in the second wire by Faraday's law of induction. The amount of inductive coupling between two conductors is measured by their mutual inductance.

  9. 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.
