Can Induced Currents in Magnetic Fields Create a Chain Reaction?

AI Thread Summary
Inducing a current in a coil using a permanent magnet generates its own magnetic flux field, which can potentially induce a current in a separate closed loop. However, this secondary induced current will be weaker due to inherent power losses in the system. While the idea of multiple coils inducing each other suggests a chain reaction, the laws of physics, particularly Faraday's law, indicate that each subsequent induction will produce diminishing returns. The interaction between the primary and secondary fields does not negate the energy losses that occur in real systems. Ultimately, continuous induction among coils is limited by these losses, preventing an efficient chain reaction.

Will this work in principal?

When a current is induced into a coil, by way of a permanent magnet, the said coil will react in producing its' own flux field. Can the flux field produced further induce a current in, let's say, a separate/independent closed loop?

Thanks

Yea but it would be weak.
 
Thanks waht, I was under the understanding that an equal and opposite force would be produced while the permanent magnet(PM) array is in motion, implying that there was no or very little loss in the secondary flux field produced. Is this correct? Or is a second field produced, of equal strength which would also follow Faradays law? If so the induced force of the third coil that is being induced by the secondary flux strength, independent of the primary windings influence, should also be the same strength or some what less. What am I not concidering here? It stands to reason that one can not continue with coils inducing coils inducing even more coils etc. Logic says there is going to be a power loss.

Thanks again for your response.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
