Confusion related to emf in a loop

To calculate the current in a closed loop of resistance R subject to a changing magnetic field which generates an emf $ \epsilon= - \frac {d(\phi)} {dt} $, we use the relation ohm's law in the form. $\...

Why current does not instantly reach maximum value in an $LR$ circuit?

In an $LR$ circuit, I read that when an resistor $R$ and an Inductor $L$ are connected to an emf $E$ source in series, and the switch is switched on, the current flowing in the circuit does not ...

$I²R$ loss in case of transformer

Suppose we have a 100 V A.C. supply, and we connect a 1 ohm resistor with it. Now the current through the resistor will be 100 A. Now we connect a 1:2 step up transformer with the A.C supply, and then ...

Is my reasoning about $ε = iR$ correct, where $ε$ denotes induced emf, $i$ denotes induced current, and $R$ is resistance of loop [closed]

I came up with the formula, $ε = iR$, where $ε$, $i$ and $R$ denotes induced emf, induced current and resistance of loop respectively. I did the following reasoning to prove this formula, am i right?

Validity of Ohm's Law due to Induced Electric

If we have a conducting loop of resistance R in a region of varying external magnetic field, how can we determine the current through the loop? First, if we consider Ohm's Law, then we get that $$\...

$RL$ Circuit Initial Condition - Why is $I$ continuous?

In a simple $RL$ circuit with a switch, the switch is closed at $t = 0$. Then the differential equation we are solving is $V_0 -L \frac{dI}{dt} = IR_0$, and the solution is $I(t)=\frac{V_0}{R_0}+ke^{-\...

Understanding voltage in AC

With DC, for example, a battery, it's easy to understand that one terminal is more negatively charged then the other, so that there is a potential difference between the terminals, which creates a ...

Does the electric field ($E$ caused by induction) of a moving conductor in a magnetic field drop when connected to a curcuit?

We know that when a conductor moves in a homogenous magnetic field that is perpendicular to itself due to the amount of electric charge gathered on one end of the conductor( as a result of the lorentz ...

In a LR circuit, Why do the current rate of increase decreases with time? [closed]

In a LR circuit, the current rate of increase decreases with time until it reaches zero eventually and that is when the current become steady. My question is why the current rate of increase decreases ...
