Eddy Currents

Science > Physics > Electromagnetic Induction > Eddy Currents If a block of metal is moved in a magnetic field or kept in a changing magnetic field, the free electrons in the conductor experience force and begin to circulate. This gives rise to induced currents in closed circular paths and it is known as eddy […]

1 Comment on Introduction to Electromagnetic Induction

Science > Physics > Electromagnetic Induction > Introduction to Electromagnetic Induction In this article, we shall study the concept of electromagnetic induction i.e. conversion of magnetic energy into electrical energy. The phenomenon of producing an induced e.m.f. in a conductor or conducting coil due to changing magnetic flux or field is called electromagnetic induction. This […]

Errors and Their Types

Science > Physics > Units and Measurements > Errors and Their Types In this article, we shall study errors, their types, and terminology of errors. An error is defined as the difference between the actual or true value and the measured value. An error should not be confused with a mistake, the mistake can be […]
