Is the Induced Flux Opposite to the External Magnetic Field?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between induced electromotive force (emf) and changing magnetic flux, as described by the equation epsilon = -dΦ/dt. It emphasizes that the induced current flows in a direction that opposes the external magnetic field, in accordance with Lenz's Law. Participants clarify that a positive change in magnetic flux leads to a negative change in induced flux, indicating an opposing direction. The conversation highlights how changing magnetic flux generates an electric field, which induces a current that further alters the magnetic field. Ultimately, the induced magnetic flux is indeed opposite to that of the external field.

epsilon=-\frac{d \Phi}{dt} where epsilon is the emf. the emf produces a current in the oppostite direction to the loop which gives a magnetic field opposing ther external field B. my notes then say

\frac{d \Phi}{dt}>0 \Rightarrow \frac{d \Phi_{Induced}}{dt}<0 but i don't understand this statement, can someone explain it please?

Changing magnetic flux produces the changing current in the loop. This changing current produces changing magnetic flux which links the loop resulting changing induces magnetic flux in the opposite direction. One is taken as positive and the other is taken as negative.
 


sorry what?

is it basically lenz's law yeah?

the changing magnetic flux causes an electric field round the wire which induces a current round the loop, this current is changing with time and in turn produces a changing magnetic field in the oppostie direction to the original external field and so the induced flux has the opposite sign to the flux of the external field?
 
Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
