  2. Lenz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    This means that the direction of the back EMF of an induced field opposes the changing current that is its cause. D.J. Griffiths summarized it as follows: Nature abhors a change in flux. [7] 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.

  3. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    Electromagnetic induction was discovered by Michael Faraday, published in 1831. [3] [4] It was discovered independently by Joseph Henry in 1832. [5] [6] In Faraday's first experimental demonstration, on August 29, 1831, [7] he wrapped two wires around opposite sides of an iron ring or "torus" (an arrangement similar to a modern toroidal ...

  4. Electrostatic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_induction

    Induction causes a separation of the charges inside the electroscope's metal rod, so that the top terminal gains a net charge of opposite polarity to that of the object, while the gold leaves gain a charge of the same polarity. Since both leaves have the same charge, they repel each other and spread apart.

  5. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    Electromagnetic induction was first described by Michael Faraday in 1831. [8] [9] In Faraday's experiment, he wrapped two wires around opposite sides of an iron ring. He expected that, when current started to flow in one wire, a sort of wave would travel through the ring and cause some electrical effect on the opposite side.

  6. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    Faraday's law of induction (or simply Faraday's law) is a law of electromagnetism predicting how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force (emf). This phenomenon, known as electromagnetic induction , is the fundamental operating principle of transformers , inductors , and many types of electric ...

  7. Inverse Faraday effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_Faraday_effect

    The vector product of left- and right-handed polarization waves should induce magnetization of opposite signs. The pulsed laser developed by Maiman in 1960 facilitated the entire field of non-linear optics for which Bloembergen was awarded the Nobel prize in 1981and which enabled the first experimental confirmation of the Inverse Faraday ...

  8. Inductive effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_effect

    In Organic chemistry, the inductive effect in a molecule is a local change in the electron density due to electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups elsewhere in the molecule, resulting in a permanent dipole in a bond. [1]

  9. Inducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inducer

    Index inducer or just inducer predictably induce metabolism via a given pathway and are commonly used in prospective clinical drug-drug interaction studies. [4] Strong, moderate, and weak inducers are drugs that decreases the AUC of sensitive index substrates of a given metabolic pathway by ≥80%, ≥50% to <80%, and ≥20% to <50% ...
