Can Induced Currents in Magnetic Fields Create a Chain Reaction?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the principle of induced currents in magnetic fields and the potential for a chain reaction of current induction through multiple coils. When a current is induced in a coil by a permanent magnet, it generates its own magnetic flux, which can induce a current in a separate closed loop. However, the strength of this induced current diminishes due to power losses, as each subsequent coil experiences a reduction in the induced magnetic field strength, adhering to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction
  • Knowledge of magnetic flux and its properties
  • Familiarity with coil configurations and their interactions
  • Basic principles of electrical circuits and current flow
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of magnetic field strength on induced currents
  • Explore the concept of power loss in electromagnetic induction
  • Learn about coil configurations for maximizing induced currents
  • Investigate applications of induced currents in practical systems
USEFUL FOR

Electromagnetic engineers, physics students, and hobbyists interested in the principles of electromagnetism and current induction in electrical systems.

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 what, 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.
