Electromagnetic induction of two wires

AI Thread Summary
Two parallel wires, one carrying current and generating a magnetic field, are discussed in relation to electromagnetic induction. The primary wire creates a magnetic field B at a distance r, and the question revolves around calculating the induced electromotive force (E) in a shorter secondary wire. It is clarified that a loop of wire is necessary for induction to occur, raising questions about the physical setup and context of the inquiry. The discussion also references how external factors, like lightning, can induce voltage in conductive materials. Understanding the configuration of the wires is essential for accurate calculations of the induced voltage.

I have two wires in parallel at a distance r apart. They are unequal in length. The current carrying primary generates a magnetic field B at distance r. What is the area related to the secondary through which B passes? Is it correct to assume the thickness times the length of the secondary? All I want to do is calculate the value of E, induced in the secondary.

Welcome to the PF.

You need a loop of wire for the secondary to induce any voltage and current in it. What is the physical setup exactly? What is the context of the question? Can you post pictures or drawings of the setup?
 
I have read in an article, a while ago, that a lightning bolt induces voltage spikes in conductive objects i.e. lampposts plumbing systems, electrical power networks, etc.
 

Thread 'Reflections at the source point of a transmission line'

I was using the Smith chart to determine the input impedance of a transmission line that has a reflection from the load. One can do this if one knows the characteristic impedance Zo, the degree of mismatch of the load ZL and the length of the transmission line in wavelengths. However, my question is: Consider the input impedance of a wave which appears back at the source after reflection from the load and has traveled for some fraction of a wavelength. The impedance of this wave as it...
