  2. Lenz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    Aluminium ring moved by electromagnetic induction, thus demonstrating Lenz's law. Experiment showing Lenz's law with two aluminium rings on a scales-like device set up on a pivot so as to freely move in the horizontal plane. One ring is fully enclosed, while the other has an opening, not forming a complete circle.

  3. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    Michael Faraday is generally credited with the discovery of induction in 1831, and James Clerk Maxwell mathematically described it as Faraday's law of induction. Lenz's law describes the direction of the induced field.

  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. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    Faraday's law of induction (or simply Faraday's law) is a law of electromagnetism predicting how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force (emf). This phenomenon, known as electromagnetic induction , is the fundamental operating principle of transformers , inductors , and many types of electric ...

  6. Eddy current brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_brake

    A conductive surface moving past a stationary magnet develops circular electric currents called eddy currents induced in it by the magnetic field, as described by Faraday's law of induction. By Lenz's law, the circulating currents create their own magnetic field that opposes the field of the magnet. Thus the moving conductor experiences a drag ...

  7. Transient electromagnetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_electromagnetics

    Two fundamental electromagnetic principles are required to derive the physics behind TEM surveys: Faraday's law of induction and Lenz's Law. A loop of wire is generally energized by a direct current. At some time (t 0) the current is cut off as quickly as possible. Faraday's law dictates that a nearly identical current is induced in the ...

  8. Bethany Joy Lenz Admits She Questioned Her Marriage - AOL

    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. Lenz's law can be derived from Faraday's law of induction by noting the negative sign on the right side of the equation. He also independently discovered Joule's law in 1842; to honor his efforts, Russian physicists refer to it as the "Joule–Lenz law". 1833 – Michael Faraday announces his law of electrochemical equivalents
