With induced voltage, what is the electric potential difference?

Lets say we have a closed circular loop of wire in a constant magnetic field in the (-z) direction. If I suddenly make the circular loop smaller (meaning a smaller surface area), I will induce a ...

Calculating Induced EMF in Wireless LED Circuit

I have built the following circuit to power a wireless LED and my calculations and measurements do not give the same values. I am measuring a voltage nearly 6 times larger than I would expect in my ...

Metal/good conductor frame in a changing magnetic field

Imagine that we put a metal/good conductor frame into a changing magnetic field. Due to the fact that this is an electromagnetic induction phenomenon, an induced EMF can be measured between the two ...

Induced voltage as a difference of potentials on a ring

If you put a ring (Picture 1) of wire into changing magnetic field, the process called magnetic induction creates induced voltage. Voltage is by definition (Definition 2) the difference in electric ...

What does direction of EMF mean?

In faraday's law it mention's direction of EMF( like in closed loopit is clockwise or anticlockwise depending on direction of motion of magnet) but defination of EMF is roughly Potential diffrence ...

How doI find the average induced emf in a coil given the rate of change of flux density, and the area of the coil?

The magnetic flux density changes from +10 T to -10T in 5 seconds. The area of the coil is 2.5 m^2. What is the average emf induced? By Faraday's law, this will be equal to the change in magnetic ...

Why is there an emf induced across the width of a metal sheet when it is moved across a uniform magnetic field?

By Faraday's law, the flux is constant, so there will be no emf. But each electron in the metal sheet is moved at some speed, so it will experience a force, and as a result, electrons will accumulate ...

Modeling the working of a transformer by pushing magnet into a coil

Let me go step-by-step. First I will outline a simple transformer. There are two circuits next to each other (not touching). One is an electromagnet set-up (with AC supply) and the other has a ...

What happens if I have a square conducting wire being permeated by a magnetic field and the field suddenly disappears?

Suppose there is a square conducting wire in a magnetic field. The two vertical branches will have the same emf, and the two horizontal branches will have 0 emf, resulting in a net emf of zero and ...
