Faraday's Law in the frequency domain

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the application of Faraday's Law in the frequency domain, exploring how it can be expressed in terms of frequency rather than time. Participants examine the implications of oscillating magnetic fields and areas on induced voltage.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant proposes an equation for Faraday's Law in the frequency domain as V = -N*B*A*2f, expressing uncertainty about the derivation.
  • Another participant explains that a Faraday induction voltage can be generated by either an oscillating magnetic field or an oscillating area, providing equations for both scenarios.
  • There is a question about the meaning of 't' in the context of the oscillating magnetic field equation, with a focus on its relation to the sampling period of an antenna.
  • Clarification is provided that 't' represents time, and the output voltage is oscillating in sync with the magnetic field.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying degrees of understanding and confidence in their interpretations of Faraday's Law in the frequency domain, with some uncertainty remaining about the derivations and definitions involved.

Contextual Notes

There are unresolved aspects regarding the assumptions made in the derivations and the definitions of terms used, particularly concerning the relationship between time, frequency, and the oscillating parameters.

I'm trying to figure out what faraday's law is in terms of frequency rather than time.

I think the equation is V = -N*B*A*2f. Where N is the number of turns in the loop, B is the magnetic field, A is the area and f is the frequency. However I am not totally convinced that my derivation is correct.

You can generate a Faraday induction voltage by either an oscillating magnetic field

B(t) = B0 sin(ωt)

or an oscillating area

A(t) =A0 sin(ωt)

An example of the latter is a conductor loop rotating in a dc magnetic field.

So V(t) = -NAωB0 cos(ωt) or -NBωA0 cos(ωt)

Here, ω = 2πf

I am trying to determine the oscilating magnetic field. In that equation what is t? Is that the period over which i am sampling the antenna?

Where ω = 2πf and t is time. The output voltage is an oscillating voltage, just like the magnetic field.

That makes so much sense! Thanks
