Motional EMF and Maxwell's Equations

Flashcards covering key concepts from lectures on Motional EMF, electromagnetic fields, and Maxwell's equations.

Motional EMF

The induced voltage difference resulting from a conductor moving through a magnetic field.

Magnetic force on charge

The force experienced by a charged particle moving with velocity in a magnetic field.

Loop Contour C

A closed path in a circuit where segments can move through a magnetic field affecting induced EMF.

Displacement Current

An equivalent current that depends on the change of electric field in a region, even in the absence of real charges.

Boundary Conditions

Conditions that electric and magnetic field components must satisfy at the interface of different media.

Time Harmonic Potentials

The potentials for time-varying electric and magnetic fields expressed using phasor notation.

Maxwell's Equations

A set of four fundamental equations that describe how electric and magnetic fields interact and propagate.

Charge Current Continuity Equation

An equation stating that the current out of a volume equals the rate of decrease of charge contained in that volume.

Electric Field Intensity (E)

The magnitude of the electric field at a point in space, often related to force per unit charge.

Magnetic Field Intensity (H)

A measure of the magnetic field strength in terms of the force it exerts on charges.
