Wireless Energy Transfer
Introduction Wireless energy transfer refers to the process of transmitting electrical energy from a power source to an electrical load, without the use of physical connectors. It’s a broad field with applications ranging from wireless charging of devices, electric vehicles, medical implants to power transfer in remote or inaccessible locations. Basic Principle of Wireless Energy…

Chapter 20: Faraday’s Law, Lenz’s Law
20.1 Introduction In this chapter, we will explore Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction and Lenz’s law. Faraday’s law states that a change in the magnetic field within a closed loop induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the loop. Lenz’s law describes the direction of the induced EMF and helps us understand the principle of energy…

Maxwell’s Equations
Introduction Maxwell’s equations are a set of four differential equations that form the foundation of classical electrodynamics, classical optics, and electric circuits. These four equations describe how electric and magnetic fields interact. They were derived by James Clerk Maxwell in the 19th century. The Four Equations where is the divergence of the electric field ,…

Magnetic Field
Introduction A magnetic field is a vector field that describes the magnetic influence of electric charges in relative motion and magnetized materials. The magnetic field at any given point is specified by both a direction and a magnitude (or strength), so it is a vector field. Magnetic Force on a Moving Charge The force exerted…

Lenz’s Law
Introduction Lenz’s law is a fundamental principle in electromagnetism, stating that an induced electromotive force (or EMF) always generates a current that opposes the change in original magnetic flux. It is a manifestation of the conservation of energy applied to electromagnetic systems. The Law and Its Interpretation Lenz’s law can be understood in the context…

Electromagnetic Interference
Introduction Electromagnetic interference (EMI), also referred to as radio-frequency interference (RFI) when in the radio frequency spectrum, is a disturbance generated by an external source that affects an electrical circuit via electromagnetic radiation or induction. EMI can cause a range of problems, from minor annoyances like a noisy radio signal, to significant malfunctions in critical…

Faraday’s Law
Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction describes how a changing magnetic field can induce an electromotive force (EMF) in a conducting loop. It is one of the four Maxwell’s equations that form the basis of classical electromagnetism. Faraday’s Law: Basic Concepts When a magnetic field changes in time, it creates a circulating electric field that can…
