Hi Folks, I have used a simple tubular coil and ring magnet assm. in a =
number of sensors. Yet I still have unanswered questions about =
Faraday's Law.
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/farlaw.html I have =
never taken the time to test all the configurations, but now is a good =
time. Before I begin I wanted to ask someone, who understand it or who =
actually has done these tests.
Here are my questions...............Looking at this wed page, there is a =
simple, tubular coil. The illustration shows only one pole of the =
magnet entering the coil. The formula and examples I believe I =
understand. However What happens, when both poles are inside the =
coil, say a small ring magnet 1/4" thick. Now things are not clear. =
Is there a cancelling effect? With both north and south poles inside =
the coil, I would think this would be the case. To keep this =
understandable, let's not consider any magnets on the outside of the =
coil.
I see these possibilities. =20
1 One pole entering the coil, as shown, when it move in one direction it =
produces + voltage, when it move in the opposite direction, - voltage. =
This is the only arrangement I have used.
2. Both poles inside the coil, when it move in one direction.........? =
When it moves in the opposite direction....?
3. Two magnets, one entering and one exiting, with like poles facing =
each other. When they move, at the same time, in one =
direction..........? When they move, at the same time, in the other =
direction?
4. Two magnets, one entering and one exiting, with opposite poles =
facing each other. When they move, at the same time, in one =
direction....? When they move, at the same time, in the other =
direction?
I am going to run this simple test........but would like someone to =
explain, before, what I should see.
Thanks,
