Faraday's law Definition and 265 Threads

1. I have encountered a problem on power extraction in Faraday's Law application. Consider I live out in the country and I suddenly realized that a power line of current I=I0cos(2pi*60t) [A] is situated 20m from my farm. A copper wire of diameter 4.1mm, 200 m in length was found in the garage...

Can anyone verify that I'm thinking about this situation correctly: among cyclists, there exists a thing called a roller trainer, which allows cyclists (or anyone who wants a workout) to train indoors (eg when it's too cold out). It looks like this...

(As magnitudes) Faraday's law states that induced emf in a conducting loop by a changing flux, say x, is: emf = dx/dt Now if we have a circuit with the loop in series with wires (which are then tied together), how do I picture the voltages/currents in this circuit? I mean, the actual...

faraday's law states that if there is a change in the magnetic flux inside a conductor, a potential is induced across the ends. Is the opposite also valid, i.e. if I have a current carrying conductor with a constant potential applied across the ends, will there be a change in the magnetic flux...

Faraday's law is ∫ E dl = - ∂Ф/∂t if we take sqaure root on both sides, √∫ E dl = √- ∂Ф/∂t √∫ E dl = i √ ∂Ф/∂t Now the r.h.s has "i" in it. Does this mean anything? Having "i" in a equation means anything? I have seen "i" in schrodinger equation and dirac equation. As like those...

My question is about the system in the picture. There is an upwards force which acts on the ring. My problem is that I don't see how it comes about. I mean, suppose that at time t, the current through the coil flows counterclockwise and is increasing. So there is an increasing, upward pointing...

Homework Statement Hi guys, I've recenlty done Faraday's law of induction in my AS physics class. I am really not understanding why it works. I get the Maths that's fine (PS were not doing integrals etc, were only doing the maths which invlove say given areas etc), but I don't see why its so...

The answer to this question (attached gif) is supposed to be "E". I can get bL^2/R if I just compute the flux and differentiate to compute the induced voltage and current, but how does one figure out that it goes counter-clockwise. Also I'm at a loss to explain why whatever effects the field...

Hi, I'm having some troubles with Faraday's law of induction: \mathcal{E} = - {{d\Phi_B} \over dt} I don't understand the meaning of the minus. I do understand that, according to the law of Lenz, the induced current is directed such that it counters the change in magnetic flux. But I...

I got a master degree in physics and I still found that this is difficult to expalin Faraday's law of induction within the context of special relativity. Most of the textbooks I found only shows that Maxwell equations are consistent with Lorentz transformation. Those books do not really derived...

Faraday's Law: Conservation?? Hi there There seems to be a few related posts on this topic but I can't make sense of them. In the integral form, I think that Faraday's Law says that round-trip path integral of electric field is equal to the negative temporal rate of change of magnetic...

Ok so we are studying Faradays law right now and am a little confused. I will try and state my understanding of it, please correct of wrong. If we have a change in magnetic flux in a certain area in space there is an induced current. This current must obvoiusly come from an electric field...

I don't really understand how Faraday's Law can be one of Maxwell's equations if it doesn't seem all that fundamental to me. An induced emf/voltage is created by the rate of change of magnetic flux with respect to time in a closed loop. Well obviously if a voltage is induced it means an...
