Whats reverse electromagnetic force?

AI Thread Summary
Reverse electromagnetic force, often referred to as back EMF, occurs in coils or transformers when an alternating current (AC) is applied. The primary coil generates an AC current that creates a magnetic flux, which induces a current in the secondary coil. This induced current generates its own magnetic flux that opposes the primary flux, resulting in a reduction of input impedance in the primary. This phenomenon is crucial for understanding how transformers operate and reflects the load impedance back to the primary side. The explanation clarifies the concept effectively.

hi

can you please tell me what is reverse electromagnetic force?

thankz!

I believe that you are referring to "back EMF" that is generated in a coil or transformer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer

When you put an AC voltage across the primary of a transformer, that generates an AC (lagging) current in the primary. That AC current generates an AC magnetic flux, which couples to the secondary coil. That changing flux induces a current in the secondary coil, which generates its own flux in the core, and that secondary flux opposes the primary flux. So any current flowing in the secondary causes a reduction of input impedance in the primary (the so-called Back EMF, or reverse voltage due to the reflected load impedance).

Does that help?
 
ya that helps!
thankz!
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
