eddy currents and electromagnetic braking explained

In this video I use Lenz Law to explain how eddy currents form when a piece of metal passes through a magnetic field. This is often also referred to as electromagnetic braking.

    The video is great! but what are direction of forces act on metal strip causing it to brake? the motion of the metal strip is left and right, but the repulsive and attractive force due to poles of magnet & metal strip is into and out of paper. So, what forces are acting in parallel to the motion of metal strip tp cause braking ? thanks

    follow-up query. Can you explain what is occurring in the swinging copper sheet as it passes through the middle of the magnetic field (where the flux density is constant). There should still be force exerted on the positive charges in the copper sheet. does this add to 'magnetic braking'?

  • @beerus553

    @beerus553

    4 жыл бұрын

    Jane Hill this is a little late but I’ll explain anyway: when the metal is fully inside the magnetic field there is no change in flux ( since magnetic field is constant along with area). Thus there is no induced EMF and therefore no eddy currents are formed. If there are no eddy currents electromagnetic breaking does not occur.

    Strange question but would it be possible to take a hollow circular metal core rap the outside with copper wire hook and electric current to the wires to create an electromagnet but then put a round bar of metal that spins inside the hollow circle and be able to slow the bar down by or exert a load on the bar by providing juice to the electromagnet around it?

    is there any creation of an electric field? im doing a presentation on this topic and was told that there is a presence of electric fields. i thought it was such that Faraday's law creates a electric field within the conductor, and these electric fields are spinning with the train's wheels which then make a magnetic field using Faraday's law again. is this correct?

    Thank You so much 😊... I have a question that I hope you can answer , It is said that in electrical instruments the core of the coil is made from parallel wrought silicon iron sheets isolated from each other and parallel to the axis of the coil to increase resistance and decrease the effect of Eddy currents and reduce wasted electricity in the form of heat ..what i don't understand is : how can connecting sheets parrallel to coil axis increases resistance since it is supposed to decrease it and what does resistance have to do with Eddy currents 🤔....I don't know if you will answer but i had to try 😅 THANKS FOR YOUR TIME 😀

    What you are referring to is called lamination. Rather than thinking of increasing resistance, they prevent the creation of larger eddy currents. I do discuss this in my transformer video.

    What you are looking for is called inductive reactance and is an important effect in magnetic solenoids, motors and generators. for the wire itself it is there but not a huge effect. Look up AC impedance of conductors versus DC resistance.

    I would say, the bar will have a emf due to relative motion to the magnetic field, which mean there will be a current and later on will conduct back emf, am i right?

    Magnetic fields exert a magnetic force on charges and move them along a conductor. That's how generators work. The coal or steam power moves a coil in a magnetic field (rotates it) and the magnetic field pushes the charges of the coil along the wire hooked up to it and generates a current.
