Hello, I am currently trying to really come to grips with electromagnetic induction and Faraday's law. The text I'm using is Young and Freedman's University Physics, 12th edition. How can the emf for a conducting loop moving in a magnetic field be given by the closed loop integral of (v...

Hi, I found this site with a calculation for EMF: http://www.6pie.com/faradayslaw.php. I just want to see if I have this right. Magnet Surface: Height (0.05 m) * Width (0.004 m) = Area 0.0002 m2. Coil windings: 6 Rotations per second: 5 NdFeB Magnet in N42 (1.33 Tesla) (I will reduce this...

Homework Statement I have done a few problems with Faraday's law of induction ( closed line integral of E dot dl = -(d/dt)(magnetic flux)). Every time time I have done them, the , albeit simple, problems have used circular wires through which magnetic flux is passing through, and emf is...

I decided to join this forum because we were baffled on the following fact made by a professor. We were hoping to get this cleared up here, since the prof said the math was complicated. Let's assume any arbitrary circuit (forming an area) moving at velocity v through a perpendicular field B...

Hi all, I've been using Faraday's law to find the EMF in a coil of wire in a changing magnetic field. EMF = -N (change in mag flux/change in time) for N loops I'm finding that the EMF is always positive regardless of whether the change in flux is positive or negative. I'm wondering at...

Hello, At approximately 4 min 48 sec. the professor indicates that the surface for the surface integral is closed. This contradicts my albeit limited knowledge in which the magnetic flux through a closed surface is zero (Gauss's law for magnetism). Did he make an error of is my understanding...

Hello, our tutor gave us this equation for Faradays law, but I don't quite understand it's composition. (I have attached a graphic of the equation) Can someone please tell me what the -d and dt represent ? Also, what does the E stand for ? I thought it should be I (current). Thanks kindly for...

Faraday's law is often stated in SI units as \nabla x E(x,y,z,t) = \frac{\partial B(x,y,z,t)}{\partial t} But x, y, z (or some other set of coordinates) are variables not functions and thus have no "t dependence". So it would seem that the "total derivative" of B is the same as the partial...

Hey there everyone. I'm working on a project and I want to incorporate a small version of Faraday's Linear Shake Flashlight. I'm stuck on how to apply Faraday's formula to the variables that I have. The formula wants "flux". How to I calculate the flux of my magnets? I know the pull...

I'm trying to figure out what faraday's law is in terms of frequency rather than time. I think the equation is V = -N*B*A*2f. Where N is the number of turns in the loop, B is the magnetic field, A is the area and f is the frequency. However I am not totally convinced that my derivation is correct.

Hi Guys, This is going to be a bit controversial but that's ok. In an RL circuit, both with and without a battery, Kirchoff's law is invoked in virtually every elementary textbook in the United States and perhaps in the world. It is a mistake! The voltage drop across an inductor is...

Hello; When we use Faraday's Law we can get a negative voltage as a result. What does this mean? I'm guessing it means voltage in the other direction? Thanks.

My textbook said Faradays law EMF = integral of E.dl is only valid if the integration path is stationary. Could someone explain what this means? Does it mean if the conductor changes shape Faraday law is not valid? In motional EMF a conductor moves through a magnetic field and a EMF is...

The version of Faraday's Law which purports to include both motional EMF and transformer EMF for circuits is false. There is no theoretical basis for it. Richard Feynman, in his "Lectures on Physics," pointed out the fact that this so-called law, what he called the "flux rule," does not always...

Hello Say there's a uniform magnetic field changing in time (B=Asin(t) or something), and a ring (pic 1). so obviously by faraday's law there would be current running through the ring caused by the induced emf. Now, say we connect 2 wires from the center of the ring up to the top and to the...

I recently came across this article on wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_paradox#Inapplicability_of_Faraday.27s_law" I don't understand why is it that Faraday's law is inapplicable here. But wouldn't there be a increase in magnetic flux, since the open surface will increase in...

Faraday's law says induced emf = - d(flux)/dt If this is applied to a loop where induced emf causes currents, and thus flux itself, do we have to consider that flux (of course we don't if it's constant)? If the external flux has a nonzero second derivative, then the induced emf is...

ok so Faraday's Law says that \oint_C \vec{E} \cdot \vec{dr} = -\frac{\partial}{\partial t} \int_S \vec{B} \cdot \vec{dA} but we know that \vec{E}=-\nabla \varphi and so \oint_C \vec{E} \cdot \vec{dr} =-\oint_C \nabla \times \nabla \varphi \cdot \vec{dA}=0 by Stokes' Theorem...

This is just a general question, no calculations or homework-like wording involved! It's just a little something that has been bugging me. Faraday's law states emf = change in flux with respect to time. Let's say I'm generating this change in flux with an inductor somewhere in space. (I want...
