Electromagnetism theory questions

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding the principles of electromagnetism, specifically regarding induced magnetic fields and electron flow in various scenarios. Participants seek help with determining the polarity of induced magnetic fields and the direction of electron flow in a generator setup, as well as in a conductor moving through a magnetic field. There are also questions about the behavior of a positively charged sphere between metal plates and its interaction with a horseshoe magnet. Some links provided for reference are broken or missing content, leading to frustration among users. The conversation emphasizes the importance of studying Faraday's Law to grasp these concepts effectively.

Homework Statement


1. http://http://tinypic.com/r/2r386q1/6

Determine the polarity of the induced magnetic field and direction of electron flow for each. Indicate which end of the generator becomes a negative terminal.

I don't know how to do the last two that you see e and f 2. In the following diagram, a metaliic conductor is moved along a set of conducting rails across a magnetic field. Which end of the conductor becomes the negative terminal? In which direction does convetional current flow in the circut?

http://tinypic.com/r/hwijxj/63. A positively charged sphere is suspended between two large metal plates as shown in the diagram. A wire is placed between the poles of a horseshow magnet and connected to the metal plates. When the wire is drawn horizontally to the right the charged ball is observed to swing toward the right hand metal plate.

a) Determine the direction of the induced electron flow in the wire in the horseshoe magnet.
b) Is the top pole of hte magnet a north or south pole explain?

The Attempt at a Solution



Im completely at a loss at these theoritcally quesitons if anyone can please help me, i have a test tomorrow and i am desperate to learn, i have made some attempts but my logic on these things seem flawed and are just mere guesses.- won't work so the link is posted

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
