    Magnetic induction by hammering

    Magnetism may be induced in iron rods by orienting them with the geomagnetic field and hammering (thus realigning their magnetic domains), according to Gilbert and others. If the rod has not been properly oriented towards the geomagnetic field, however, there must be a corresponding failure to...

    What is the derivation of Maxwell's 4th equation for a static electric field?

    In my derivation of Maxwell's 4th equation from the empirical Biot Savart law, for a static electric field, I have that the curl of B is equal to the magnetic permeability times the current density. Now, the source coordinates (i. the circuit) are given by R_1 ( R is a vector). The field...

    Writing the Magnetic Induction Eq. for a Rotating Magnetic Field

    Hello everybody, I have a question about the magnetic induction equation. I am interested in the non ideal case, i.e. when there is a non negligible diffusivity, however as regards my question I think that this is not relevant. I first ask the question and then give additional explanations...

    Magnetic Induction In terms of Creating Charge

    Hi, I'm an industrial designer and I was wondering if there is a way to charge a battery through magnetic induction. I have heard that the way some stop lights work is there are coils below the road, and when the steel body of a car goes over it, it creates a change in charge in those coils...

    Is the magnetic induction line closed

    It is said that every magnetic induction line is closed.but recently I happended to find one which isn't. Consider the magnetic field generated by a ring form circuit, the magnetic induction line which I have found is not closed is the one that go through the center of the circuit,which is...

    Magnetic Induction: Exploring Voltage Peaks, Flux & Magnet Orientation

    [b]1. In lab, we used a 400-turn coil test apparatus, mounted on an adjustable stand so a bar magnet could be dropped through it from different distances above it. In addition to the apparatus, we also used a voltage sensor and the Pasco interface used to display a graph of the induced voltage...
