... Q= σ A so that the flux is Φ= Q/ єo = σ A/ єo. Now definition of Flux is Φ= E2A (in this simple situation the field is perpendicular to surface of Gaussian cylinder so we can use simpler definition of Flux; the 2 comes from the fact we are looking at the flux above and below surface of plate). So we ...

... therefore there is a Poynting vector directed radially inward, as shown in the figure. There is a flow of energy into the wire all around. It is, of course, equal to the energy being lost in the wire in the form of heat. So our "crazy" theory says that the electrons are getting their energy to gener ...

... field, you would call it a “motional emf”. For example, if a loop moves into or out of a region of field, or rotates, or a bar rolls along a rail, you’d get a “motional” induced emf. But if the changing magnetic flux were due to, say, an increasing current in a wire, you wouldn’t call it a “motional ...

Electric current



An electric current is a flow of electric charge. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by moving electrons in a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in a plasma.The SI unit for measuring an electric current is the ampere, which is the flow of electric charge across a surface at the rate of one coulomb per second. Electric current is measured using a device called an ammeter.Electric currents cause Joule heating, which creates light in incandescent light bulbs. They also create magnetic fields, which are used in motors, inductors and generators.The particles that carry the charge in an electric current are called charge carriers. In metals, one or more electrons from each atom are loosely bound to the atom, and can move freely about within the metal. These conduction electrons are the charge carriers in metal conductors.
