Electrons speed and magnetic fields

AI Thread Summary
Increasing the speed of electrons does lead to an increase in the strength of the magnetic field they generate. This relationship is explained by the Biot-Savart Law, which states that electrical current is directly related to the velocity of charge carriers. As the velocity increases, so does the magnetic field strength. A formal calculation involving the induced electric and magnetic fields of an electron in circular motion can further illustrate this principle. Understanding this relationship is crucial in the study of electromagnetism.

Hi! I am new user to this forums and on the start I have one question:
"If I increase the speed of the electrons, will the magnetic field strength of the electrons increase?

Thank you.

Your answer will be found in the Biot-Savart Law. The electrical current-part, denoted by I, is directly related to the velocity of the charge carriers. Just remember the definition of current and you will conclude that your answer must be YES !

For a more formal approach, try calculating the induced E-and B-fields of a single electron that makes a circular motion. You will see that B = (1/c2) v x E !

Ok, thank you very much.
 
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...
