Position of the electric field induced by a magnetic field

I've been told that a cylindrical time-varying magnetic field induces a non-conservative electric field shaped like circles centred at the axis of the cylindrical magnetic field. I suppose it's an ...

Static toroidal magnetic field rotating inside toroidal winding

what would happen if I took a toroidal core, generated a static toroidal magnetic field in the core and then rotated the core around it's symmetry axis within a larger stationary toroidal winding ...

Incongruent expressions for $E$- and $B$-fields based on approach

I am having two issues with Maxwell's equations in the following problem: A thin conducting disc has radius a thickness b and electrical resistivity ρ. It is placed in a uniform time-dependent ...

Motional EMF inside material with resistance

A square loop is cut out of a thick sheet of material with each side of resistance R. It is then placed so that the top portion is in a uniform magnetic field B, and is allowed to fall under gravity. ...

Is this analogy of Induced emf correct?

I have searched PSE (and many other sites on internet) for the theoretical reason of induced emf. All I got was that the phenomenon of Induced EMF is experimental fact and can only be mathematically ...

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 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 ...

Sources of Eddy current and hysteresis in linear materials

Following is an excerpt about transformer on load from Kothari and Nagrath, Electrical Machines. The value of exciting current $i_0$ has to be such that the required MMF is established so as to ...

How does proximity of a grounded conductor effect an electric / inductive field (and practical application)

My apologies - I'm missing a couple years of learning to be able to ask this question well, to know the right terminology. Suppose a grounded conductor, such as a 12mm copper water pipe. The grounded ...

Can ionized air be used as a conductive medium for eddy brakes?

Sort of a conceptual engineering question, apologies if I am missing something, my background is in mechanical engr. Essentially, I was inspired by the classic experiment of dropping a magnet in a ...

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 ...

Is there a circulating $E$ field when a single straight wire cuts a magnetic field?

I am a little confused as to the difference between the Lorentz force and Faraday’s induced emf, specifically in the case of a straight wire moving through a uniform B field. I know the answer is that ...

How is a current induced in this translating wire?

I am familiar with the principles of electromagnetic induction, but I am stuck on the scenario below: a long straight wire is translating in a uniform magnetic field. According to my book, this causes ...
