Eddy Currents

This document contains information submitted to Madam Ambreen Aslam regarding physics concepts studied by several students including eddy currents, displacement current, and superconductivity. It provides definitions and explanations of these topics, such as that eddy currents are induced circular electrical currents, displacement current is the rate of change of electric displacement field, and superconductivity is the phenomenon of zero electrical resistance below a material's critical temperature. Application examples are also mentioned such as eddy currents in electric meters and metal detectors, and uses of superconductors in laboratories and astrophysics.

Eddy current
Eddy current are induced

electrical current that flow in a


circular path.
They get their name from eddies.
That are formed when a liquid or
gas flow in a circular path around
obstacles when a condition are
right.
Eddies current generate their own
secondary field when opposed
primary magnetic field.

Eddy current loss in


transformer
The core of generator is made of

soft iron which is a conducting


material with desirable magnetic
characteristics.
Any conductor will induced in it
when it is rotated in a magnetic
field.
These current are caused induced
current.

Eddy current loss in


transformer
The power dessipate in a form of

heat as a result of eddy current is


a loss.
Eddy current is just like another
current which are effected by
resistance of material in which
current flow.

Application
Shiny metal disk in electric meter

power meter outside your home


rotates as a result of eddy
current.
The metal detector used at
airport security checkpoints ,
operated by detecting induced in
metallic objiects

Displacement
current
James clerk Maxwell give idea in

1861 about that.


Maxwell added displacement
current to electric current in
terms ampere law.
Current produced by time varying
electric field.
In 1865 a dynamic theory of
electromagnetic field Maxwell
used for driving electromagnetic
wave equation.

Displacement
current
In electromagnetism,

displacement current is a quantity


appearing in Maxwell's equation
that is defined in terms:
rate of change of electric
displacement field . Displacement
current has unit of electric current
density
It is not electric current of moving
charges, but a time-varying
electric fields.

Displacement
current
Capacitor is charging
capacitor plates are radius R. find

emf at point a and b total current


enclosed JD times its area or
Id/sq.radius.

superconductivity
Phenomenon Discovered by

Dutch physicist Heike kamerleigh


onnes on April 8,1911 in Leiden.
It is properties of
superconductors.
A material behaves as a
superconductor when its temp:
cooled below.
Superconductivity also called the
anti resistance.

superconductivity
The temp: at which a material

behave as a superconductor
called critical temperature.
Denoted by Tc.
Mercury was the first element in
which it was observed.
By changing magnetic field we can
make a desired material a
superconductor or bad conductor.
The minimum magnitude magnetic
field at which superconductivity
eliminate is called critical field it is
denoted by Bc and temp: becomes
less than Tc.

superconductivity
Superconductors have no

resistance resistance to flow


current .
It is also have disappearance of
electric resistance.
Tc >77k (high temp
superconductor)

application
Widely used in electricity material

application. Electronics used in


laboratories.
In astrophysics, also used in
ultrasensitive magnetic detectors
and in superconductivity coils
