Can anyone provide resources for beginners on electromagnetic induction?

AI Thread Summary
Resources for beginners on electromagnetic induction are sought for a bobsled project, with a specific interest in magnetic induction. The discussion highlights the need for study materials and references, with a suggestion to explore physics textbooks. Clarification is sought regarding the connection between induction and the bobsled, hinting at a potential maglev application. The use of slotted aluminum sheet metal is mentioned, along with a caution about the required power levels. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding electromagnetic induction for practical applications.

Well it looks like I need to find out as much as I can about Magnetic Induction. Does anyone have a link/ reference to a beginners understanding, study material so that I can start my Bob Sled project? In the mean time I'll search the physics textbooks on this site.

Thanks for all your help so far guys

What on Earth does induction have to do with a bobsled? Are you making a maglev or something? :confused:
 
Yes, I'm currently looking at using slotted aluminum sheet metal.
 
You need some awfully powerful current for that. Be careful.

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
