    Coil Induction
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on how sound waves affect the electrical signals generated in microphones. In dynamic microphones, the varying current is directly related to the intensity of the acoustic wave, without any DC power involved. In contrast, condenser microphones may use a DC supply for polarization or rely on a permanent charge, but the acoustic intensity still influences the output current and voltage. Additionally, the power output ratio is influenced by the size of the electromagnetic field and the induction coil. Overall, the acoustic intensity plays a crucial role in determining the electrical response of both microphone types.

Hi guys, quick query (at least I think it's quick!).

I know that, in a microphone, when a waveform passes through the electromagnetic field it resonates the diaphragm and in turn moves the induction coil set in the middle, creating a VARYING current...

My question is:

Is the varying current/electrical signal that is generated from the sound vibrating on the diaphragm varied depending on the sound power and/or pressure of the waveform? or limited to the DC powering the microphone itself?

ALSO...


Is the power output ratio dependent on how large the EMF field and induction coil is as well?

Thanks very much guys, I hope I'm not talking jibberish! ha ha.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
In a dynamic mic, the current/voltage varies with the intensity of the acoustic wave. In a dynamic type of mic, there is no dc powering the element.

In a condenser mic, there is either a dc supply used to polarize the condenser element, or no dc supply is used as there is a permanent charge on the diaphragm. Again, the acoustic intensity determines the mic element current/voltage.

Did I help at all?

Yes, you have! perfectly.

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...
It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
