Faraday Definition and 207 Threads

Hi, How do you calculate the current from a faraday disc? I have found calculations for the voltage, but what about the current? I think it is a bit more complicated due to back emf, but if you know what motor you are using (the torque it can generate), then can you work it out? Thanks for any...

Dear all, In textbooks about optics in magneto-optic materials, we often come across a Hermitian permittivity tensor with off-diagonal imaginary components. These components are relevant to the Faraday rotation of plane of polarization of light through the material. Now my question is: Is the...

Hello everyone , as for starters I would like to ask two questions. As I've been reading about the homopolar generator I have the basic understanding of all the workings yet here are my questions. Since the rotatig disc produces a current within while rotating in an axial magnetic field...

I'm trying to calculate the Faraday 2-form with two vectors as an input. The problem is I don't know how to interpret my results. The Faraday 2-form is given by, F=1/2Fαβdxα∧dxβ And I'm told to calculate F(u,v) where u=uαdα and v=vαdα I expanded out Fαβ with the determinant given by the wedge...

The Faraday paradox is a hard one to get ones head around and I was wondering if there is a similar scenario, involving an E field where there is / or is not an induced emf?

Suppose there is an uniform magnetic field along z-direction. Now someone turns off the field. Then there will be an induced electric field. Can anybody draw this induced electric field lines? I know the electric field will curl around. But where will be the centre of that curl. Do the electric...

Hi guys, so we currently ran an experiment where we calculated the verdet constant when laser light passed through a glass rod then through an analyzer to a photodetector. The experiment worked great for us but I wanted to know if anyone has ever calculated the verdet constant for any other...

Hello everyone. I am trying to use a Faraday cup constructed by myself to measure the electrostatic charge presence in particles of a fluidized bed reactor. I am trying to test if it works properly but I am having some problems. I am tried to apply a voltage of 1.5 V till I obtain that...

The faraday constant is prayed: $$\\ 1\; \text{F} = \frac{96 500\;\text{C}}{1\;\text{mol}}$$ (approximately...) I'm wrong if I say that the faraday constant is: $$\\ 1\; \text{F} = \frac{96 500\;\text{C}}{1\;\text{mol e}}$$ ?

if I build a faraday cage just to protect device from lightning or other electrostatic source (not electromagnetic pulse), and I need that as light as possible... I will build it using a mesh to make it light.. now, how large the mesh' holes is allowed ? is there any calculation for this...

Although it is usually stated and taught that Maxwell developed pretty faithfully Faraday's views and experimental work into a mathematically solid theory, it is probably not widely known this is actually only partially correct, as Maxwell in fact changed much of Faraday's original theoretical...

The purpose of the lab was to measure, and also calculate, the induced current in a disconnected coil, due to a second coil connected to a power supply. Involved magnetic fields and electric fields (I think. For the purposes of this lab, the magnetic permittivity is 1.26*10-6, the number...

Hi all I'm trying to replicate the effect of a 45° Faraday rotator using a series of waveplates instead. I've encountered some difficulties using the jones matrix notation, due to the differencies of the matrix formulas between the books I'm referring to. The main book I'm using is...

Hi guys, The other day I found myself asking the question below and couldn't quite manage to re-align my own personal experience with E&M theory. I am sure it will just be a gap in my knowledge base of E&M. The Question: If you are contained within a metal mesh cage which acts as a...

Hi guys, I know Faraday effect is the rotation of the plane polarization of light when the light passes through a transparent medium and a magnetic field is applied in the direction of the propagation. What actually causes it at the quantum level? Is it Zeeman effect or something similar...

Is there a force in this case: For the sake of simplicity, a spherical Faraday cage. A smaller charged sphere inside. If we move the small sphere close to the wall of the cage, will there be a force of attraction between the wall of the cage and the small charged sphere?

Hi! I have a question regarding the Faraday cage. I know how a Faraday cage works and understand the principles that make it work and why (potential difference, flux, gauss' theorem...) but I have a question. Why some Faraday cages work eventhough they have holes in their surface. For...

HI Assume we have a point charge in the center of a shell, now the inside inner wall will get an opposite charge and the outer side of the shell will have the same charge as the point charge. Since we have a charge on the out side, how isn't there any fields outside ?? how are we...

I was wondering how protective a Faraday Cage actually is, can it be overcome by sending more amperage onto the exterior or does that not matter? Also what would cause a Faraday cage to be ineffective, like would a cord powering the device inside render the cage useless? Thanks for your help!

Hi, I am a biologist and I do a lot of experiments on cellular electrophysiology. I keep my preamplifier and the biological subject inside a Faraday cage, and it works well. In some experiments I need to deliver a drug to the cell so I have to enter the cage briefly, with my hand only, and...

So I tried out a small, fun experiment of putting my cell phone in the microwave (not turning it on, of course) to see if the WIFI Hotspot capabilities were hindered by the Faraday cage that insulates the microwaves. I had heard that microwave cages will hinder If not completely block 802.11...

Hi, A parallel plate capacitor is charged from fixed voltage, after I cut voltage source. Now, what's happened if I place a Faraday cage inside capacitor (without touch capacitor) ? Capacity changed ? So energy of capacitor changed ?

I was looking for a mathematical explanation of a Faraday cage. In particular I was seeking something that relates hole size to the reflected and transmitted waves, using electromagnetic theory. This might also relate to a wire grid polarizer. Would anyone be able to help me?

what does calibrating a faraday cup mean??

A bar-shaped magnet is released along the axis of a long tube of copper. Describe the motion of the magnet and the energy exchanges involved. Neglect air resistance.

A changing magnetic field induces a field, G: ∇×G = -∂B/∂t (1) Now my book then says, since ∇×G≠0 while ∇×E=0 and ∇\cdotG=0 while ∇\cdotE ≠0 we might as well see G and E as the same field, and thus see G as an induced electric field. I can understand that, I just don't understand how one...
