  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. 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 ]

    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.

  5. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    The magnetic Lorentz force v × B drives a current along the conducting radius to the conducting rim, and from there the circuit completes through the lower brush and the axle supporting the disc. This device generates an emf and a current, although the shape of the "circuit" is constant and thus the flux through the circuit does not change ...

  6. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    This change in magnetic flux, in turn, induces a circular electromotive force (EMF) in the sheet, in accordance with Faraday's law of induction, exerting a force on the electrons in the sheet, causing a counterclockwise circular current in the sheet. This is an eddy current. Similarly, the part of the sheet moving away from the edge of the ...

  7. Motor constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants

    where is back EMF, is the constant, is the flux, and is the angular velocity. By Lenz's law, a running motor generates a back-EMF proportional to the speed. Once the motor's rotational velocity is such that the back-EMF is equal to the battery voltage (also called DC line voltage), the motor reaches its limit speed.

  8. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    The net electric current I is the surface integral of the electric current density J passing through Σ: =, where dS denotes the differential vector element of surface area S, normal to surface Σ. (Vector area is sometimes denoted by A rather than S , but this conflicts with the notation for magnetic vector potential ).

  9. 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).
