    How Do You Calculate Current from a Faraday Disc?

    Hi, How do you calculate the current from a faraday disc? I have found calculations for the voltage, but what about the current? I think it is a bit more complicated due to back emf, but if you know what motor you are using (the torque it can generate), then can you work it out? Thanks for any...

    Faraday rotation and permittivity tensor

    Dear all, In textbooks about optics in magneto-optic materials, we often come across a Hermitian permittivity tensor with off-diagonal imaginary components. These components are relevant to the Faraday rotation of plane of polarization of light through the material. Now my question is: Is the...

    Faraday disc paradox; is there an equivalent situation with E fields?

    The Faraday paradox is a hard one to get ones head around and I was wondering if there is a similar scenario, involving an E field where there is / or is not an induced emf?

    Can anyone draw the Field Lines of Faraday induced electric field

    Suppose there is an uniform magnetic field along z-direction. Now someone turns off the field. Then there will be an induced electric field. Can anybody draw this induced electric field lines? I know the electric field will curl around. But where will be the centre of that curl. Do the electric...

    Exploring the Faraday Constant: Understanding its Definition and Importance

    The faraday constant is prayed: $$\\ 1\; \text{F} = \frac{96 500\;\text{C}}{1\;\text{mol}}$$ (approximately...) I'm wrong if I say that the faraday constant is: $$\\ 1\; \text{F} = \frac{96 500\;\text{C}}{1\;\text{mol e}}$$ ?

    Did Maxwell truly follow Faraday's views in his theory?

    Although it is usually stated and taught that Maxwell developed pretty faithfully Faraday's views and experimental work into a mathematically solid theory, it is probably not widely known this is actually only partially correct, as Maxwell in fact changed much of Faraday's original theoretical...

    Force between walls of faraday cage and charge inside

    Is there a force in this case: For the sake of simplicity, a spherical Faraday cage. A smaller charged sphere inside. If we move the small sphere close to the wall of the cage, will there be a force of attraction between the wall of the cage and the small charged sphere?

    Is the Faraday Cage invulnerable?

    I was wondering how protective a Faraday Cage actually is, can it be overcome by sending more amperage onto the exterior or does that not matter? Also what would cause a Faraday cage to be ineffective, like would a cord powering the device inside render the cage useless? Thanks for your help!

    Is a faraday Field an electric field?

    A changing magnetic field induces a field, G: ∇×G = -∂B/∂t (1) Now my book then says, since ∇×G≠0 while ∇×E=0 and ∇\cdotG=0 while ∇\cdotE ≠0 we might as well see G and E as the same field, and thus see G as an induced electric field. I can understand that, I just don't understand how one...
