Can $F=qvB$ be applied to a solenoid and a parallel moving magnet?

If you take a scenario like this, Charge gathers at either end, and if you could somehow form a complete circuit without there being a canceling effect, there would be a current flowing. This makes ...

Magnitude of induced Electric field

Let us suppose there is a uniform magnetic field present in all space, pointed into the screen. If this magnetic field varies with time, Electric fields will be produced that in turn produce fields ...

Do magnets attract magnetic materials by inducing magnetism in them?

Here are 2 concise excerpts from a book I have been reading:- 1.A permanent magnet produces its own magnetic field. An induced magnet is a material that becomes a magnet when it is placed in a ...

Lenz' law and magnetic moment

Lenz Law says that the induced current will circulate in a direction such that it produces a magnetic field that is opposite to the change of applied magnetic field. For example, if the loop is a ...

Disc permanent magnet as homopolar generator

It is known that Faraday disk generator produces voltage even when the magnet is rotating along with conducting disk. Does that mean that only rotating, axially magnetized magnet could be used to ...

Why is a current induced as a wire perpendicularly traverses a uniform magnetic field?

The magnitude of an induced E.M.F, according to Faraday's law, is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linkage. As the field is uniform, the field strength, or magnetic flux density, ...

Ed Leedskalnin's "Perpetual Motion Holder" (PMH)

Edward Leedskalnin (Coral Castle) describes a perpetual motion holder in his writings. I've built one and pretty much know how it works (I think). It is NOT a perpetual motion device by any means, ...

Derivation of Faraday's law using Lorentz force?

For a stationary loop of wire with a time varying magnetic field $\vec{B}(t)$ through it. Is it possible to derive Faraday's law, using only the Lorentz force $$\vec{F}=q \vec v\times \vec B \tag {1}$...

Why isn't Magnetic force doing any work on the rod?

Consider the situation given below : The rod (of length $l$ and of some resistance "r") connecting the two rails is given a velocity $v$ in the direction shown. Now since this motion ...

Force exerted by one current carrying wire loop on another [closed]

I am training for my physics exam and I stumbled upon this question: We are given two current carrying wire loops with radii $R_1 \ll R_2 $ who are coaxial. The distance between them is $X$. Both ...

Torque on a rotating sphere in a uniform magnetic field

Consider a uniform magnetic field. We know that if we have a conductive loop rotating in this magnetic field then we get a current running through that loop due to Faraday's Law, which in turn exerts ...
