Infinite charged sheet kicked into motion - Electric field direction?

In volume two of the Feynman Lectures on Physics, Chapter 18, here: http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/II_18.html There is a scenario in which an infinitely extending charged sheet is suddenly ...

Induce electric field in an incomplete circular conducting loop

I was solving a numerical example(image1) of 'Griffiths book of electrodynamics' And in this solution it is given that if there is a changing magnetic field is there there would be induce induce ...

Work done in a moving conducting bar and in a Faraday disk

I deeply apologize for my ignorance, but I am asking this since I still can't seem to grasp what my teachers relayed to me a few days ago about two exercises that I solved in an intrinsically wrong ...

Is the induced electric field generated due to the separation of charges in a moving wire in a magnetic field non-conservative?

As the title suggests, whenever there is a moving wire in a magnetic field of constant magnitude, an induced voltage is produced. Now, due to the separation of charges, which is a result of the ...

What is the induced electric field in a moving conducting material in a magnetic field?

I've been taught that the induced EMF in a conductor is the rate of change of flux in it, but Maxwell's equation $$ \nabla\times\vec{E} = -\dfrac{\partial\vec{B}}{\partial t}, $$ only states so for ...

Does making a magnet move require more energy than a non-magnet?

I know that electric fields store energy, with their energy in an infinetesimal volume being proportional to $E^2$ at that point. I also know that a moving magnet creates an electric field (...

Electric field of moving charge

Does the electric field of a moving charge (constant velocity) change with time? Or it remains the same? I know that changing electric fields produce a magnetic field, but in a straight, current-...

Why does a changing magnetic field produce a current?

A changing magnetic field induces a current in a conductor. For example, if we move a bar magnet near a conductor loop, a current gets induced in it. Faraday's law states that The E.M.F. $\...

How do Electric and magnetic fields generate each other (mathematically)?

Regarding electromagnetism, a changing magnetic flux$(\phi_B)$ produces emf by-$$EMF= -\frac{d \phi_B}{dt}\tag1$$ This emf creates a current which again creates a magnetic field given by-(bio-savart ...

Induced Electric field due to magnetic field in Faraday experiment

Regarding this experiment where a magnet is moved in and out of a coil -(see the picture) what i considered to be true is that when there is a changing magnetic flux through the coil(due to changing ...

Inducing electric field vs Inducing magnetic field

Is it easier to induce an electric field using a changing magnetic field or the other way around? The question is from my high school booklet, and I am pretty sure it was to be answered on an ...

Does the Change in Area Not Affect EMF Calculation in a Time-Varying Magnetic Field?

I had this Question as a Homework : Given a conducting frame of width $𝐿$. A mobile conductor is mounted on the knitting needle that moves on the closing one at speed $\vec{𝒗} = 𝑣\hat{x}$ while ...

Faraday's Law - When do we know when it is a motional EMF or an induced electric field?

So from what I know, Faraday's law states that when there is a change in magnetic flux, an EMF is induced. This can be explained with motional EMF where when the magnet moves towards the conducting ...

How current is induced when there is a change in external magnetic field?

If still charges in a wire loop do not respond to a(or have their own) magnetic field, then how is current is generated by changing a magnetic field? And why only a changing magnetic field? What ...

Explaining Faraday's Law With Lorentz Transformations of $E$ and $B$ Fields

I've searched around for this but haven't come across a totally satisfying explanation yet. I'm trying to build a relatively simple model of how the Lorentz Transformations of the $E$ and $B$ fields ...
