  2. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    On the far side of the figure, the return current flows from the rotating arm through the far side of the rim to the bottom brush. The B-field induced by this return current opposes the applied B-field, tending to decrease the flux through that side of the circuit, opposing the increase in flux due to rotation. On the near side of the figure ...

  3. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    Faraday's law is a single equation describing two different phenomena: the motional emf generated by a magnetic force on a moving wire (see the Lorentz force), and the transformer emf generated by an electric force due to a changing magnetic field (described by the Maxwell–Faraday equation).

  4. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    This induced voltage created by the changing current has the effect of opposing the change in current. 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 ]

  5. Lorentz force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_force

    Given a loop of wire in a magnetic field, Faraday's law of induction states the induced electromotive force (EMF) in the wire is: = where = (,) is the magnetic flux through the loop, B is the magnetic field, Σ(t) is a surface bounded by the closed contour ∂Σ(t), at time t, dA is an infinitesimal vector area element of Σ(t) (magnitude is ...

  6. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    In 1834, Emil Lenz stated Lenz's law, which says that the direction of induced current flow in an object will be such that its magnetic field will oppose the change of magnetic flux that caused the current flow. Eddy currents produce a secondary field that cancels a part of the external field and causes some of the external flux to avoid the ...

    Each day, two Connect blocks roll off the line, as the factory continues to ramp up production. The factory needs 147 workers to fully operate a shift, up from120 now. "We're still scaling up," he ...

  8. Ground loop (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_loop_(electricity)

    Ground loop current induced by stray AC magnetic fields (B, green) Ground loop currents can be induced by stray AC magnetic fields [5] [7] (B, green) which are always present around AC electrical wiring. The ground loop constitutes a conductive wire loop which may have a large area of several square meters.

  9. Inductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductor

    The polarity (direction) of the induced voltage is given by Lenz's law, which states that the induced voltage will be such as to oppose the change in current. [7] For example, if the current through an inductor is increasing, the induced potential difference will be positive at the current's entrance point and negative at the exit point ...
