  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

    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 ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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

  6. Inductive charging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_charging

    The AC utility frequency of 50 or 60 hertz is often used, [4] or in the case of Qi-compliant devices, frequencies in the range of 87 to 205 kHz are typical. [5] High power inductive charging generally refers to inductive charging of batteries at power levels above 1 kilowatt.

  7. Ground loop (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_loop_(electricity)

    The induced alternating current flowing through the resistance of the cable ground conductor will cause a small AC voltage drop across the cable ground. This is added to the signal applied to the input of the next stage. In audio equipment, the 50 or 60 Hz interference may be heard as a hum in the speakers. In a video system it may cause ...

  8. AC power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power

    In a simple alternating current (AC) circuit consisting of a source and a linear time-invariant load, both the current and voltage are sinusoidal at the same frequency. [3] If the load is purely resistive, the two quantities reverse their polarity at the same time. Hence, the instantaneous power, given by the product of voltage and current, is ...
