  2. Lenz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    Lenz's law states that the direction of the electric current induced in a conductor by a changing magnetic field is such that the magnetic field created by the induced current opposes changes in the initial magnetic field. It is named after physicist Heinrich Lenz, who formulated it in 1834. [1]

  3. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    As described by Ampère's circuital law, each of the circular currents in the sheet induces its own magnetic field (marked in blue arrows in the diagram). Another way to understand the drag is to observe that in accordance with Lenz's law, the induced electromotive force must oppose the change in magnetic flux through the sheet. At the leading ...

  4. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    This is stated by Lenz's law, and the voltage is called back EMF. Inductance is defined as the ratio of the induced voltage to the rate of change of current causing it. [ 1 ] It is a proportionality constant that depends on the geometry of circuit conductors (e.g., cross-section area and length) and the magnetic permeability of the conductor ...

  5. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    Heaviside's version (see Maxwell–Faraday equation below) is the form recognized today in the group of equations known as Maxwell's equations. In 1834 Heinrich Lenz formulated the law named after him to describe the "flux through the circuit". Lenz's law gives the direction of the induced emf and current resulting from electromagnetic induction.

  6. 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).

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal nĚ‚, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

    Lenz explained that when One Tree Hill ended after nine seasons (she played Haley James Scott on the show from 2003 to 2012), leaving her friends and husband behind with her baby at her side was a ...

  9. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

    According to Lenz's law, this opposes the external field. Diamagnets are materials with a magnetic permeability less than μ 0 (a relative permeability less than 1). Consequently, diamagnetism is a form of magnetism that is only exhibited by a substance in the presence of an externally applied magnetic field.
