AI Thread Summary
A magneto operates by generating voltage through the principle of electromagnetic induction, specifically as described by Faraday's law. When the magnetic field collapses, it creates a significant change in magnetic flux, resulting in a voltage spike. This occurs because a time-varying magnetic field induces an electric field. Understanding this relationship is crucial for grasping how magnetos function in various applications. The discussion highlights the importance of magnetic flux changes in voltage generation.

Hey guys, I was wondering how a magneto works exactly?

I have been reading a lot, but I do not understand why the voltage spikes when the magnetic field collapses. Any help?

The voltage spikes when The B field collapses because we have a big change in magnetic flux. Faradays law. A time varying B field induces an E field.
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
