  2. 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 ...

  3. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    A wire (solid red lines) connects to two touching metal plates (silver) to form a circuit. The whole system sits in a uniform magnetic field, normal to the page. If the abstract path ∂Σ follows the primary path of current flow (marked in red), then the magnetic flux through this path changes dramatically as the plates are rotated, yet the ...

  4. Electromagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetism

    The electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It is the dominant force in the interactions of atoms and molecules. Electromagnetism can be thought of as a combination of electrostatics and magnetism, which are distinct but closely intertwined phenomena. Electromagnetic forces occur between any two charged particles.

  5. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    Eddy currents in conductors of non-zero resistivity generate heat as well as electromagnetic forces. The heat can be used for induction heating. The electromagnetic forces can be used for levitation, creating movement, or to give a strong braking effect. Eddy currents can also have undesirable effects, for instance power loss in transformers.

  6. 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.

  7. Solid-state physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_physics

    Solid-state physics is the study of rigid matter, or solids, through methods such as solid-state chemistry, quantum mechanics, crystallography, electromagnetism, and metallurgy. It is the largest branch of condensed matter physics. Solid-state physics studies how the large-scale properties of solid materials result from their atomic-scale ...

  8. Inductive coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_coupling

    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. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia
