  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. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

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

  4. Lenz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    The current induced in a circuit due to a change in a magnetic field is directed to oppose the change in flux and to exert a mechanical force which opposes the motion. Lenz's law is contained in the rigorous treatment of Faraday's law of induction (the magnitude of EMF induced in a coil is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux ...

  5. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    Because the induced voltage is greatest when the current is increasing, the voltage and current waveforms are out of phase; the voltage peaks occur earlier in each cycle than the current peaks. The phase difference between the current and the induced voltage is ϕ = 1 2 π {\displaystyle \phi ={\tfrac {1}{2}}\pi } radians or 90 degrees, showing ...

  6. Electromotive force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromotive_force

    For a circuit using a battery source, the emf is due solely to the chemical forces in the battery. For a circuit using an electric generator, the emf is due solely to a time-varying magnetic forces within the generator. Both a 1 volt emf and a 1 volt potential difference correspond to 1 joule per coulomb of charge.

  7. Inductive coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_coupling

    Coupling may be intentional or unintentional. Unintentional inductive coupling can cause signals from one circuit to be induced into a nearby circuit, this is called cross-talk, and is a form of electromagnetic interference. k is the coupling coefficient, Le1 and Le2 is the leakage inductance, M1 (M2) is the mutual inductance

  9. Electrostatic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_induction

    These induced surface charges create an opposing electric field that exactly cancels the field of the external charge throughout the interior of the metal. Therefore electrostatic induction ensures that the electric field everywhere inside a conductive object is zero. A remaining question is how large the induced charges are.
