Electricity and the operation of induction motors

AI Thread Summary
Electricity passing through a conductor generates a magnetic field, which is fundamental to the operation of induction motors. Induction motors rely on the flow of electrons to function and are commonly used in various domestic appliances. The discussion clarifies that energy transmitted through the green earthing wire is primarily a safety feature, with minimal energy loss to the ground, affirming the principle of energy conservation. Misunderstandings regarding energy conservation and the role of the earthing wire are addressed, emphasizing that no current flows through it under normal conditions. Overall, the conversation highlights the interconnectedness of electricity, magnetism, and electron motion in electrical systems.

How electricity passing through a conductor produces magnetic field around it. How an induction motor works. The energy or electricity which passes trough green earthing wire is transmitted into the ground. Why this energy is not conserved and can be used in future. All these three things are connected to the motion of electrons. Can this phenomena can be explained. How induction motors are used in various domestic gadgets. How inverter works. All this is connected to the flow of electrons only.

There are different ways to answer this question, but it depends largely on your background.

Are you familiar with the Biot Savart law or Maxwell's equations? Are you familiar with Coulomb's law and special relativity?

This is not correct. In a functioning circuit very little energy goes into the ground. Energy is conserved.
 
Well, each question has a different explanation. It would be better if you created separate threads for each question.

Yes. That is called electric current.

Could you elaborate this? Energy is always conserved. That's one of the fundamental governing laws of the universe.
 
No current flows through the 'green' Earth wire in normal circumstances. It is a safety feature and , like a lifeboat on a cruise ship, you hope that it will never be needed. You should find out what the function of the Earth wire is before you feel able to talk about its role in conservation of energy.

Just because electric current flows through a conductor doesn't mean electrical power is being dissipated by that conductor. Try a problem with I2R through the conductors and through the load.
 
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...
