Are you referring to the induced emf that would accompany a *changing* magnetic field?

So then can you say whether or not this tetherball will be accelerating or not?

I've already mentioned that the electron cannot be accelerated because there is no work done in the direction of motion. F produced by the magnetic field B will always be perpendicular to the particle (let's just say it's a positron for clarity of discussion). I'm going to be assuming that the...

I'm not quite sure how your comment on the charge is relevant? The opposing forces you're talking about which I assume to be instances of Faraday's/Lenz's Laws apply to fluxes varying in time. Let's consider a situation where you instantaneously increased the [uniform] B field so that the...

Hey all, In one of my textbooks, there is a passage in the thermodynamics section that states that: For a closed cycle where the system returns to its initial state, the work done is the area enclosed by the curve (when looking at a Pressure-Volume graph). Shouldn't the work done by...

Hey all, I was wondering if one of you could help me out with a debacle I'm having. I'm having trouble reconciling what exactly happens between an orbiting tetherball and the separate scenario of a orbiting particulate charge. With the particulate charge: you can, given the velocity and...
