Back EMF in electromagnetic coil

I am trying to quantify the back EMF generated while actuating an electromagnetic coil, this would be included in a general calculation to estimate the coil output under a variety of conditions. My ...

When a magnetic ball passes through a copper pipe vertically

Let's say a magnetic ball passes through a hollow pipe, which is a conductor (copper), vertically. We can observe that its acceleration is decreased when compared to a free gravitational fall. By ...

Magnetic forces do no wok

The magnetic field is pointing upwards and uniform. Part C: Since the magnetic field does not do any work, the initial velocity of the bar should remain constant through time. But in the solution of ...

Is there a magnetic force acting on a conducting ring falling due to gravity in presence of a uniform magnetic field that exists along $-z$ direction? [closed]

If so, then why? We know that a current carrying closed loop in a uniform magnetic field experiences no force but when it's suddenly pulled by an external force, according to Lenz law a magnetic force ...

Does the net induced emf decrease in this case?

In a video from the YouTube channel veritasium about Misconceptions of electricity It is said that energy is mostly of the electric fields produced by the surface charges and battery , which make them ...

If a loop is not complete, and magnetic field passing through it is changing; will their be emf induced in the loop?

In a setup like the one show in the figure: Will there be an induced EMF across the loop(given that the field is increasing)? (my dilemma is : since the loop is not complete, we cannot define the ...

Faraday's Application on a Magnetic Dipole

Consider a closed loop wire with current flowing through it: Consider along the wire a battery $V$, a resistance $R$ and a capacitor $C$. We know the integral form of Faraday's law: $$\oint\limits_{\...

The effect of the inner diameter of a tube on the speed of a magnet falling through it

I have done the experiment of dropping permanent magnets through copper tubes and observing how they fall slower. With a tube that has an inner diameter close to the permanent magnet (a tight fit) the ...

How to explain different voltage and symmetry?

Imagine a magnet is falling along the axis of a uniform metal ring, there is an Eddy current in the ring due to changing magnetic flux and the direction of the current is determined by Lenz's law. ...

Magnetic field produced by a changing current

When a current changes with time, it generates a changing magnetic field, according to Ampere's law. This changing magnetic field induces an electric field, according to Faraday's law of ...

Levitation of a permanent magnet over a conducting surface

I have seen a method of magnetic levitation where a magnet moves over a conducting surface with its north pole facing downwards (or the conducting surface moves below the stationary magnet). At a fast ...

Current through a solenoid: magnetic field gives a staircase graph

We were running current through a solenoid coil with an iron core, and measuring the resultant magnetic field strength. We expected a purely linear relation for the "current-field strength" ...

Conservation of Energy with respect to Lenz's Law with moving coil

My knowledge of electromagnetism is quite elementary but I think I understand WPE and the Law of Conservation of Energy well enough. Here's what I understand of electromagnetic induction in a coil in ...

Is the concept of motional EMF consistent with Faraday's Law?

Consider a circular homogeneous metallic coil sliding on a smooth horizontal surface in a region of uniform magnetic field $B$ which is perpendicular to the face of the coil. By Faraday's law, the net ...
