Changing Magnetic Field Causes Induced Electric Field

AI Thread Summary
A changing magnetic field induces an electric field due to electromagnetic induction, as described by Faraday's law. This phenomenon occurs because a varying magnetic field creates a difference in magnetic flux, leading to an induced electromotive force (EMF) in a conductor. The induced current in a wire or loop is directly related to the induced electric field, as both are manifestations of the same underlying electromagnetic principles. Maxwell's equations provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the interrelationship between electric and magnetic fields. Understanding this relationship is crucial for grasping the fundamentals of electromagnetism.

Homework Statement


This is not really a question, just a concept I am trying to understand. I understand changing magnetic field induces an electric field - but how does it do this?


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I figure since the changing magnetic field would induce a current in the wire (or loop), the current has a relationship with the induced electric field? I can't seem to figure out what the relationship is though, any ideas? Thanks!

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
