Faraday's vs Ampere's Laws and current density

AI Thread Summary
Faraday's Law states that a time-varying magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF), which can produce an electric current density in a medium. The relationship between current density (J) and electric field (E) is confirmed by the equation J=sigma*E, where sigma represents conductivity. The discussion includes a practical experiment involving a coil and solenoid setup, where varying frequencies and turns resulted in different induced EMF measurements. The observed induced EMF was significantly higher than initial calculations, prompting a request for recommendations on the experimental setup. The conversation highlights the practical implications of electromagnetic principles in real-world applications.

Greetings all,

I know that Faraday's and Ampere's law are related by M.E., but can I say the following?

By Faraday’s Law, a time varying magnetic field induces an electromotive force, which produces an electric current density in a media.

Up until EMF, that's Faraday's, but is the rest of the sentence true? I would assume yes since J=sigma*E, or E=J/sigma to keep it in line with using Del X E = -jwB, or Del X J/sigma=-jwB.

Just trying to confirm.

Thanks!

The EMF can produce a current if there is a circuit. The current will depend on EMF and resistance. The current density will depend on E and resistivity.
 
On the right side of Del X E you would have the negative of the time derivative of B. The substitution for E looks fine.
 
Thanks to both!
 
hi
i have a coil of three turns and the spacing between the turns is 5 mm. i feed the coil with a signal of 13.24 MHz. and i put a solenoid of 3 mm radius 21 cm away from the coil to induce an emf. the solenoid has 23 number of tuns, 28 mm length. the induced emf is 280 mm V (rms) which is almost 10 times more than what i calculated. when i diconnect the coil from the signal generator, the induced voltage is 128 mmV(rms). the net emf= 152 mmVrms..
when the feeding freequency increased to 13.56 MHz and the solenoids number of turns decreased to 22. induced emf =460 mmV (rms) discennected 213 mmV. net induced emf=247 mV (rms).
can any recomand me any think.
thank you
 
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
