Faraday Definition and 213 Threads

Hello I am building a Faraday cage, I cannot find any decent information on the designing one. I plan to use it to shield a precision resistor network and 8 1/2 digit DVM in order to measure Low Frequency noise of a HV power supply. I need to know what dictates the size of the "holes" in...

I'm looking to find an expression for the Faraday rotation of a wave in a magnetized plasma, propagating parallel to a magnetic field. It's more math help than physics help I need here though. I know that I'll have to start with the dispersion relations for a right and left circularly polarized...

Here is a a simply description: When a container filled with mustard seeds(small sphere) is vibrated vertically with a frequency between 1 - 10 Hz,we see Faraday heaping occurs. I want to know how do I design a experiment to investigate this phenomenon? We have problems in...

Ok I'm trying to calculate the Dual Faraday Tensor, but I'm having trouble with the notation I think... *F^{ab} = \frac{1}{2}E^{abcd}F_{cd} where E is the levi-civita symbol. I'm correct in that E^(1234) = 1 for (1234,3412,2341,4123) -1 for (4321,3214,2143,1432) 0 otherwise...

The EMF for the Faraday disc is calculated as \epsilon = \int_0^R \textbf{v} \times \textbf{B} \cdot d\textbf{l} the integration is between the disc axis (0) and its edge (R is the disc radius). As for uniformly rotating disc \boldmath v = \omega \times r and B-field is orthogonal to the...

Hello everyone, I need help designing a Faraday Generator suit. It's basically a bunch of small Faraday generators (the kind used in flashlights), sewn into the fabric of outer clothing and connecting to batteries to charge them. The problem is that I have no idea what it will take to make...

Hey there, I was wondering whether the following scenario is possible: Say I have a Faraday Cage which contains electricity on the inside, could I use a magnet on the outside to create electricity on a conductor on the inside? If no, are there possible variations to this scenario which...

Hello, I have constructed a Faraday box with alluminium sheets having holes on them. The problem is that the mains supply field is not canceled within this box. The box is about 50cmx50cm and hosts a number of electrodes and an electrical drive that moves these system of electrodes. I...

I'm working on a project that has a 13.56 MHz RF power source. The thing is, the EM waves emitted by this power source cause problems with the diagnostic equipment of the actual experiment (various capacitive and inductive sensors). So, I am planning to build a faraday cage to shield the...

Most places I've read say it's because the car forms a Faraday cage, but a few say that is incorrect and that it's actually from the skin effect. The notable case of the latter explanation is from the Boston Museum of Science: http://www.mos.org/sln/toe/cage.html This guy, Dr. Davis from the...

I'm working in a tracking solution based on RFiD, that consists on tags without any type of battery or power source. When the antenna generates the signal in the correct frequency, an induction process occur in the tag, generating a response to the antenna (containing the tag's id number)...

Hello. So I need a little bit of help with this. I am trying to 'make' a theoretical generator, that is powered by a wind station. There are so many variables that I either need to make up or find, such as coil thickness, length etc. So I was wondering whether anyone could help me? Can someone...

When this guy gets inside the Faraday cage and they hit it with like 200,000 volts from a Tesla coil , when he is inside the cage he can touch the inside and not get shocked , so basically the charge flows on the outside , is this because the electric field from all around the circle pushes...

Apologies for the atrocious attempt at a drawing: So my professor said that if you close the switch, the upper lightbulb (n° 2) will go out. How exactly do you know this? Well of course, if you replace the changing magnetic field that is inducing an emf with a battery somewhere close to...

Hi everyone! I was thinking..then I decided to post this thought to ask your opinion about that. We have this capacitor made by different layers, starting from the top we have: electrode, dielectric material (let's assume 10um thick, permittivity k=600), conductive layer (good liquid...

The non-conservative nature of an induced E-field due to a changing magnetic flux has always interested me. In the case of a constant magnetic field and a circuit with a changing surface, the changing magnetic flux can actually be written as a line integral of v x B (*), with v the speed of the...

Hello, a full contraction of the faraday tensor with itself can be shown to be F_{\mu\nu}F^{\nu\mu}=2(E^{2}-c^{2}B^{2}) I have done this by calculating 16 terms in the sum i.e. F11F11 + F12F21, and get this answer, but this is very tedious. Is there a faster way to show this that I...

Homework Statement I used a Faraday Rotator to measure the Verdet constant of SF-59 glass at 650 nm wavelength. In this setup, the glass sample was placed inside a solenoid, and a diode laser was aligned to enter the solenoid and go through the sample. The angle of rotation of an analyzer...

Hi everybody. Some expert advice needed here. I am working into an experiment that consists of putting a wave emitter device (a wi-fi router for example) in a faraday cage so those waves don't spread outside the cage (or I get some attenuation at least). I have some questions: - First of...

Hi, I read several literatures on quantum cryptography plug and play system. I found out that Faraday mirror was used to compensate polarization fluctuations. Photons are reflected orthogonally by Faraday mirror and their polarization changes will then be autocompensated, provided they follow...

Well we can use a Faraday Cage to keep magnetic fields from entering a certain area, but I was wondering if the same method could work for containing magnetic fields. I know we use metal cores to concentrate magnetic fields, but is there a way to actually trap them?

Homework Statement I ave a research to do on Faraday effect. I found an explanation were they said that a linearly-polarized beam of light may be considered as the superposition of equal amounts of right- and left-circularly polarized beams. The right- and left-circularly polarized beams or...

Couple of months ago Deany100 posted a note on microwave radiation which he suspected was his neighbour tracking his movements. I've got a similar problem, a home bathed in emf picked up by a device (15 pounds sterling) that doesn't tell me what the frequency is. Great disbelief from everyone...

I have a few questions and verifying statements regarding the concept as well as practical building of Faraday Cages. 1. A Faraday cage's mesh must have a grid with a spacing less than that of the wavelength that is intended to be stopped. 2. Why is it that foil and mylar also work as...
