How Do Coils Interact to Induce EMF in Electromagnetic Fields?

AI Thread Summary
Coils interact to induce EMF in electromagnetic fields primarily through changes in current. A stationary magnetic field does not induce current in a second coil unless there is a change in current in the first coil. While a magnetic field can influence the spins of electrons, it does not cause them to move as a whole, resulting in negligible effects unless the second coil is ferromagnetic. The discussion highlights that current induction requires a dynamic change rather than a constant flow. Ultimately, the interaction between coils and magnetic fields is governed by the principles of electromagnetism.

I guess it does not produce any field in 2nd coil because there's no change in current in coil right?So there won't be any emf ..
but coil 2 has magnetic field passing through it which results in current in coil(by forcing movement of electrons of coil 2 SINCE ELECTRONS ARE ALREADY IN MOTION INSIDE ATOMS)
So what finally happens?

hi aditya23456! :smile:

do you mean a straight wire?

yes, the magnetic field will have the same effect as a stationary magnet … it will align or precess the spins of the electrons, resulting in extremely weak para- or dia-magnetism, and no discernible effect, except if coil 2 is ferromagnetic :wink:

(i guess that's why electric wire isn't made of iron)
 


but as per prinicple, current is induced in wire only if current changes right..but why can't current be induced when there's no change in current since just current flowing is now with our above principle :/
Hi btw :)
 
a stationary magnetic field can make a loop of current (like a spinning electron) rotate, but it can't make it move as a whole …

the forces cancel out

the magnetic field from your wire won't make the electrons move, it will only affect their spins
 
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...
