  2. Lenz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    Aluminium ring moved by electromagnetic induction, thus demonstrating Lenz's law. Experiment showing Lenz's law with two aluminium rings on a scales-like device set up on a pivot so as to freely move in the horizontal plane. One ring is fully enclosed, while the other has an opening, not forming a complete circle.

  3. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    the constant is the permeability of free space, commonly called , divided by ; in the absence of magnetically reactive insulation the value 200 is exact when using the classical definition of μ 0 = 4π × 10 −7 H/m, and correct to 7 decimal places when using the 2019-redefined SI value of μ 0 = 1.256 637 062 12 (19) × 10 −6 H/m.

  4. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    Lenz's law describes the direction of the induced field. Faraday's law was later generalized to become the Maxwell–Faraday equation, one of the four Maxwell equations in his theory of electromagnetism .

  5. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    Faraday's law of induction (or simply Faraday's law) is a law of electromagnetism predicting how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force (emf). This phenomenon, known as electromagnetic induction , is the fundamental operating principle of transformers , inductors , and many types of electric ...

  6. Inductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductor

    When the current flowing through the coil changes, the time-varying magnetic field induces an electromotive force (emf) in the conductor, described by Faraday's law of induction. According to Lenz's law, the induced voltage has a polarity (direction) which opposes the change in current that created it. As a result, inductors oppose any changes ...

  7. Counter-electromotive force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-electromotive_force

    That is, the back-EMF is also due to inductance and Faraday's law, but occurs even when the motor current is not changing, and arises from the geometric considerations of an armature spinning in a magnetic field. This voltage is in series with and opposes the original applied voltage and is called "back-electromotive force" (by Lenz's law).

  8. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    By Lenz's law, an eddy current creates a magnetic field that opposes the change in the magnetic field that created it, and thus eddy currents react back on the source of the magnetic field. For example, a nearby conductive surface will exert a drag force on a moving magnet that opposes its motion, due to eddy currents induced in the surface by ...
