    Find maximum current in a coil using oscilloscopes and Faraday's Law?

    The experiment consists of a large field coil (connected to a current source) surrounding a coplanar and coaxial small detector coil in the center of the field coil connected to the oscilloscope. 1. Matching Current v. Time Graphs to Oscilloscope Graphs Example of one pair of graphs (I'll...

    How exactly do inductors work in an LC circuit?

    I understand Faraday's law and about induced electric fields created by a changing magnetic fields, etc. But what causes the current to oscillate in an LC circuit, with no battery? If you picture that there is current going into an inductor, and that current is decreasing over time, then you...

    Current induced on a coil by a changing magnetic flux in another coil

    I will first calculate the magnetic flux of the coil in motion. $$\frac {d\phi}{dt} = -\frac {dB_{loop}}{dt}A = -\frac{d}{dt}(\frac{\mu_o}{4\pi}\frac {2\pi NR^2I}{(R^2+z^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}})A$$differentiating in terms of ##z##, we get $$\frac {d\phi}{dt} =(\frac{\mu_o}{4\pi}\frac {6\pi^2...

    How do I apply Maxwell's equations?

    For example, if I have a magnetic field perpendicular to some surface and I change this magnetic field with constant speed, how do I calculate the Electric field at any point on this surface, since ∫E⋅ds=k, where k is some constant, could be done with many different vector fields.

    Justifying Ampere's Law and Faradays Law with an experiment

    Homework Statement Given Ampere's Law and Faraday's Law (in differential or integral form fwiw) explain why it is easier to design an experiment to show that a changing magnetic field creates an electric field than it is to show a changing electric field creates a magnetic field. Justify your...

    Can anyone explain this anomaly?

    Homework Statement Hi, so during an experiment, I spun a magnet inside a coil of wire in order to induce an emf, and measure the input power and output power. One of the things I found was that the slower the magnet spun (ie the smaller the input voltage to the motor) the larger the induced...

    What causes EMF induced in Faradays law when only B changes

    I am having trouble with deducing the origin of Maxwell's Laws, especially Faraday's Law. Obviously some of the laws has to be originated by experiments and the rest should be mere deductions. I would guess that Lorentz force law is the empirical information where we just named some terms as...

    Induced EMF due to changing current in straight wire

    I see a lot of problems on constant current inducing a current in another wire due to its associated magnetic field, but not so much a single wire's induced electric field. If the current along an infinitely long wire is flowing out of the page and inducing a counter-clockwise spinning magnetic...

    Equation for the EMF generated by a spinning magnet?

    I have found an equation which gives the EMF generated in a coil when a magnet is spun near it, the equation is given as: E = FNAω × 10-8 volts. Where F is the field of the sample perpendicular to the axis of roation, N is the number of turns, A is the effective area of the coil and ω is the...

    Conceptual difficulty with faradays law

    As i understand, the induced current in a wire equals -d(∫∫B⋅dS)/dt What is S? I know it has to be an open surface for the flux integral to be non-zero, but over what surface do i do the integral?

    Flaw in the integral form of faradays law with large loops

    The situation is as such. you have a magnetic passing through a loop(loop 1)of wire as some time t, say you also have a larger loop of say one light year in radius surrounding loop 1, call this loop 2. at some time t the magnetic field is shut off. when this happens would loop 2 instantaneously...

    Area perpendicular to a magnetic field from Faradays Law

    Hello Everyone, I have a question concerning the "Area perpendicular to the magnetic field". If the field was produced by a permanent magnet, would the "Area perpendicular to the magnetic field" be the same size as the Area of the permanent magnet?

    How Does Faraday's Law Explain EMF Induction Outside a Solenoid?

    Today we did an experiment with a solenoid through which we varied the current. Around this solenoid, was a different circuit (not coupled to the coil-circuit) where we measured the potential across a resistor. By varying the current my teacher showed how the potential over the resistor would...

    Why Does Faraday's Law Appear Differently in Various Units?

    This is maddening and i cannot find a concise explanation anywhere despite the simplicity of this question. I keep coming across faradays law expressed as \text{curl}\left(\mathbf{E}\right) = -\frac{1}{C^2} \frac{\partial\mathbf{B}}{\partial t} Im only used to working in SI units so all i...
