Faraday

The EJS Faraday Disk Dynamo shows a conducting disk that rotates in a magnetic field. This produces a current (homopolar generator) and for certain configurations, it is a self-exciting dynamo. A self-exciting dynamo is the mechanical analog of a proposed mechanism to produce the earth and sun's...

The EJS Faraday Loop Changing Field Model shows the induced emf in a changing external magnetic field. You can control the frequency, magnitude and type of variation in the external field as you would in the laboratory when using a function generator to produce current in a large coil. You can...

The Magnet Falling Through Ring model shows the dynamics and the induced current when a magnet falls through a conducting ring. The current in the ring is computed by electromagnetic induction using to Faraday's law and the induced emf is proportional to the negative of the rate of change of...
