  2. Faraday paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_paradox

    The Faraday paradox or Faraday's paradox is any experiment in which Michael Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction appears to predict an incorrect result. The paradoxes fall into two classes: Faraday's law appears to predict that there will be zero electromotive force (EMF) but there is a non-zero EMF.

  3. Hering's Paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hering's_Paradox

    In the following, Hering's paradox is first shown experimentally in a video and -- in a similar way as suggested by Grabinski -- it is shown, that when carefully treated with full mathematical consistency, the experiment does not contradict Faraday's Law of Induction. Finally, the typical pitfalls of applying Faraday's Law are mentioned.

  4. List of paradoxes - Wikipedia

    Faraday paradox (electrochemistry): Diluted nitric acid will corrode steel, while concentrated nitric acid will not. Levinthal paradox : The length of time that it takes for a protein chain to find its folded state is many orders of magnitude shorter than it would be if it freely searched all possible configurations.

  5. For the Glory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_the_Glory

    For the Glory was created by Crystal Empire Games, a development studio created in June 2008 after the announcement of the Europa Engine Licensing Program by Paradox Interactive. Many Crystal Empire Games team members were active in the Paradox Interactive community for years, contributing mods and tools dedicated to the company's games. [ 2 ]

  6. Faraday paradox (electrochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_paradox...

    The Faraday paradox was a once inexplicable aspect of the reaction between nitric acid and steel. Around 1830, the English scientist Michael Faraday found that diluted nitric acid would attack steel, but concentrated nitric acid would not. [1] The attempt to explain this discovery led to advances in electrochemistry.

    That means the paradox of different descriptions may be only semantic. A description that uses scalar and vector potentials φ and A instead of B and E avoids the semantical trap. A Lorentz-invariant four vector A α = (φ / c, A) replaces E and B [5] and provides a frame-independent description (albeit less visceral than the E– B ...

  8. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    Faraday explained electromagnetic induction using a concept he called lines of force. However, scientists at the time widely rejected his theoretical ideas, mainly because they were not formulated mathematically. [9] An exception was James Clerk Maxwell, who used Faraday's ideas as the basis of his quantitative electromagnetic theory.

  9. The Electric Boy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Electric_Boy

    Faraday can be seen as an "electric boy" because of his electrical discoveries. Also, "The Electric Boy" was an experimental demonstration of static electricity popular in the eighteenth-century. A young man was suspended from the ceiling using insulating silk cords, and electrified, causing his body to act as a magnet .
