Calculating Eddy Current Power Loss in Solenoid System | Copper Plate Experiment

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the power loss due to eddy currents in the copper plates between two solenoids, one must consider the induced EMF and the resistance of the copper plates. The relevant equations involve Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction and the formula for power loss in resistive materials. The decrease in induced EMF in the second solenoid can be correlated with the strength of the eddy currents generated in the copper plates. It's essential to focus on the relationship between the induced EMF, the frequency of the magnetic field, and the geometry of the copper plates. Understanding these principles will help accurately quantify the eddy current power loss in the solenoid system.

I have an experiment in which I have two solenoids where one induces an EMF in the other. I then introduce copper plates between the two coils and measure the decrease in induced EMF in the second solenoid. How could I calculate the power loss due to eddy currents induced in one of the copper plates? What equation(s) would I need to use? I can't find any source online so please help! I am not talking about power loss due to heat, i am talking about power lost in the system of the two solenoids.

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Two capacitors, etc.'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
