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 n̂, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.
Electrohydrodynamics deals with interaction of electromagnetic fields with weakly conductive fluids [486] and ferrohydrodynamics deals with interaction of electromagnetic fields with magnetic fluids. Today magnetohydrodynamics and its related fields have many applications in plasma physics , electrical engineering , mechanical engineering ...
Eddy currents in conductors of non-zero resistivity generate heat as well as electromagnetic forces. The heat can be used for induction heating. The electromagnetic forces can be used for levitation, creating movement, or to give a strong braking effect. Eddy currents can also have undesirable effects, for instance power loss in transformers.
The effect on the circuit itself, of changing the electric current, is known as self-induction; the effect on another circuit is known as mutual induction. For a given circuit, the electromagnetically induced emf is determined purely by the rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit according to Faraday's law of induction.
Using an electroscope to show electrostatic induction. The device has leaves/needle that become charged when introducing a charged rod to it. The leaves bend the leave/needle, and the stronger the static introduced, the more bending occurs. However, the induction effect can also be used to put a net charge on an object.
In physics, specifically electromagnetism, the magnetic flux through a surface is the surface integral of the normal component of the magnetic field B over that surface. It is usually denoted Φ or Φ B.
The AC frequencies used in induction cookers are much higher than standard mains frequency ‒ typically around 25–50 kHz. In electromagnetism , skin effect is the tendency of an alternating electric current (AC) to become distributed within a conductor such that the current density is largest near the surface of the conductor and decreases ...
where is the speed of light; denotes the time components of the electromagnetic tensor; is the determinant of metric tensor; = = is an orthonormal element of the two-dimensional surface surrounding the charge ; indices ,, =,, and do not match each other.
