left hand for negative electron flow and and right hand for conventional positive current. The video uses both without specifying which of the electron or conventional flow you're applying, which adds to more confusion to the eddy current with its arrow pointing to the electron flow direction. But for the sake of delivering the big picture concept, it does its job but could be improved if the above mentioned can be more precisely specified so students can have a more accurate understanding.

Best video on eddy currents I have seen. Most of the others are much more confusing. But I have learned a right hand rule that works where you mention a left hand rule. For the right hand the thumb is the direction of movement, the forefinger is the direction of the field and the current is the middle finger (all orthogonal with each other). Of coursethis works the same way as your left hand rule.

I'm confused, in my physics class and my curriculum we were taught that it's the right hand rule, everything means the same thing, fingers are B, thumb is I and palm is direction of F but because it's my right not left hand I have the current in the opposite direction which means that if I did it with my left hand I would be marked wrong. (Unless he is talking about negatively charged particles shooting perpendicular to the field, such as electrons, in which case I get it but I thought we were dong positives

This may seem a stupid question but could the magnetic fields created by the eddy currents also induce their own currents in other areas of the metal tube ?
@PhysicsHigh2 жыл бұрын
not a stupid question at all and a great question. The model that I present is a simplified model and helps explain Lenz Law. But just like projectile motion being parabolic but really simplified (see one of my recent videos), in reality ANY change of flux in a material will cause the production of eddy currents. So yes, the eddy current produced will produce magnetic fields which will cause smaller eddy currents. The end result is probably something quite complex, not the simply circular currents I have drawn.
@jeremyburnum86042 жыл бұрын
This is great, but when you consider rotating magnetic fields instead of constant fields, rules change!!!. This is the beginning concept, not the end. When coils are set to oppose Lenz's law and you have RMF...then RMF takes over and you have EMF produced without counter interaction. Learn and grow!!! Don't think of 2 directions. Don't be stuck in your ways of the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Surely the magnet falling through the conductive pipe would accelerate as it is still free falling. The magnetic field created by the eddy currents isn't increasing therefor the magnet will accelerate. This graph shows the emf induced as the magnet falls through the tube. It increases over time and so surely the magnet is accelerating through the tube (www.a-levelphysicstutor.com/images/fields/EMI-dropped-mag02.jpg). Hope that makes sense, maybe I have missed something. I'd be grateful for any help Thanks
@PhysicsHigh3 жыл бұрын
As soon as the magnet starts to accelerate the rate of change flux increases. Thus the eddy current increase and thus the opposing force. So no, as long as it’s in the tube it will maintain its velocity. The issue with the image is that the coil is very short. If be it was longer than the magnet then you would have a section where the emf is zero whilst in the middle.

Few Questions. Can you use dielectric grease or Vaseline to negate Eddy currents? If I lined a copper pipe with dielectric grease and dropped a magnet down the pipe would Lenz law still take affect but cancel out the Eddy currents? Only asking because I don't have e the material to conduct and experiment.
@PhysicsHigh7 жыл бұрын
+Dustin Brodie I'm not an expert on dielectric grease but I can't see this working. It's all about conservation of energy. You cant stop the edgy currents from happening. So any other effect involving the grease would violate LCE. Happy to be corrected by others.
@dustinbrodie7 жыл бұрын
Same principle for transformers apply to the pipe if you do it that way. I think it would be better to offset the cuts along the pipe though. That way it ensures the eddy currents will be too weak because they won't have a consistent path to follow.
@sparkyinwa2 жыл бұрын
dielectric grease does not stop current inside the copper tube. if slits were cut top to bottom, the circulating currents would become smaller and the magnet would reach a higher terminal velocity but the effect still happens. this is why motors are made from stacked layers of sheet steel instead of solid blocks, the eddy currents are confined to smaller cross sections and the effect is lessened.

It couldn't happen that you get more out than you put in IF it's truly a closed system. Not surprisingly, you, having been raised in the dogma of believing that you have closed systems will only see what you have been programmed to see. What is your proof that you have a closed system here? Doesn't this mean that you are denying the existence of the zero point field? Or are you implying without proving that you know that nothing you can do would ever interact with any part of the zero point field? If so, how do you know that? Have you proved that? Proving a negative is quite difficult, I doubt you have. So you are good for a reference in the fictionaly world of closed systems. That is what I came here to learn, so I could see the difference between the effects of closed systems and the real world of which you are in complete denial. Thanks for that. By the way, your grandparents did not participate in a shoah. They participated only in the mass imprisonment, total confiscation of property and exploitation of the labor of your chosen targets. So forgive yourselves and please resume some of the critical thinking which we haven't seen so much of since the time of Lenz.
