Charging by Inductance: Replacing Electroscope with Capacitor

AI Thread Summary
Moving a positively charged rod near a grounded electroscope could create alternating current (AC) between the Earth and the electroscope. Replacing the electroscope with a capacitor allows for continuous charging and discharging, facilitating a more dynamic circuit. This setup could enhance the understanding of inductive charging principles. The movement of the charged rod would induce electron movement, resulting in a current flow. Overall, this concept presents an intriguing exploration of inductive charging mechanisms.

What would happen if the ground was kept in place and the positively charged rod was constantly moved to and away from the electroscope? Would we not have ac current between the Earth and the electroscope?

Replace The electroscope with a capacitor where one side is continuously charged and discharged and the other side goes to earth. Could be an interesting little circuit.

Any comments?

Sure, electrons would move in the electroscope and then back out in a current.

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...
