AI Thread Summary
For high school-level resources on electromagnetism, Wikipedia is recommended as a concise source that provides good introductions to key concepts. Important topics include inductors, Lenz's Law, back electromotive force (emf), and the behavior of RL circuits. The discussion emphasizes the need for brief explanations of concepts like energy storage, time constants, and exponential charge/discharge. This approach allows for a quick understanding of the material in a limited timeframe. Utilizing Wikipedia can effectively support rapid learning of these fundamental topics.

Hello all
I need help, please recommend a good source for electromagnetism for a high school student, but it should be a bit brief and gives a good understanding of the topic. I am supposed to go over merely those concepts in a matter of hours.

- Inductor

- Lenz's Law

- Back emf

- Inductor charging and discharging

- Energy storage

- RL circuit

- time constant

- Exponential charge/discharge

Have you tried reading about those topics at wikipedia? That should give you pretty good introductions to the concepts. :smile:
 
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.
