AI Thread Summary

A current to voltage converter is essential at the output of photo detector circuits to transform the generated photocurrent into a measurable voltage signal. This conversion allows for easier monitoring and analysis of the signal, as voltage can be more conveniently processed and interpreted in electronic systems. Without this conversion, the weak photocurrent produced by the detector would be difficult to measure accurately. The discussion emphasizes the importance of this conversion for effective signal processing in various applications. Overall, a current to voltage converter is crucial for optimizing the performance of photo detector circuits.

Welcome to the PF.

What are your thoughts on this? How else would you convert the photocurrent to something that can be monitored...?

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...
