Exploring the Possibilities of Induced Currents in Magnetic Fields

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of induction in a coil and its ability to produce its own flux field. It is then questioned whether this flux field can further induce a current in a separate closed loop. The speaker believes that there would be a weak induced current and wonders if this is due to an equal and opposite force being produced or a second field of equal strength following Faraday's law. The potential for power loss is also brought up.

Will this work in principal?

When a current is induced into a coil, by way of a permanent magnet, the said coil will react in producing its' own flux field. Can the flux field produced further induce a current in, let's say, a separate/independent closed loop?

Thanks

Yea but it would be weak.

Thanks waht, I was under the understanding that an equal and opposite force would be produced while the permanent magnet(PM) array is in motion, implying that there was no or very little loss in the secondary flux field produced. Is this correct? Or is a second field produced, of equal strength which would also follow Faradays law? If so the induced force of the third coil that is being induced by the secondary flux strength, independent of the primary windings influence, should also be the same strength or some what less. What am I not concidering here? It stands to reason that one can not continue with coils inducing coils inducing even more coils etc. Logic says there is going to be a power loss.

Thanks again for your response.

Related to Exploring the Possibilities of Induced Currents in Magnetic Fields

1. What is induced current?

Induced current refers to the flow of electric charge that is created in a conductor when it is exposed to changing magnetic fields.

2. How is induced current created?

Induced current is created through the process of electromagnetic induction, where a changing magnetic field induces a voltage in a conductor, causing electric current to flow.

3. What factors affect the magnitude of induced current?

The magnitude of induced current is affected by the strength of the magnetic field, the speed at which the magnetic field changes, and the properties of the conductor, such as its length and material.

4. What are some real-world applications of induced current?

Induced current has various applications, such as in generators, motors, transformers, and electromagnetic sensors. It is also used in wireless charging technology and power transmission systems.

5. How does induced current relate to Faraday's law of induction?

Induced current is a result of Faraday's law of induction, which states that an electric current will be induced in a conductor when it is exposed to a changing magnetic field. The magnitude of the induced current is directly proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic field.
