No Recording Today
Wednesday 4/21/21
students viewed MIT 8.02 Video Lecture 16 (through 34 ish minutes)
discussed notes associated with video lecture above
discussed how current can be induced in two different ways: (1) change size or orientation of a circuit in a constant B field; (2) change the magnetic field through a stationary circuit
discussed how a conducting rod/wire dragged through a uniform magnetic field sets up an induced electric potential...process of charge separation stops when the magnetic force = electric force or qvB=qE which means vB=E ... discussed that the potential difference induced, V=v(L)(B) where L is the length of the conductor, v is the speed it is dragged through the field, and B is the strength of the field.
worked an example problem of dragging a conductor through an unknown magnetic field (given L, V, and v, determine B's magnitude and direction)
Thursday 4/22/21
discussed the physics of a conductor rotating in a magnetic field
discussed completing the circuit for a conductor being pulled across conducting rails and generating an induced current...discussed how this induced current creates an induced B field that opposes the direction of the original field (Lenz's Law)
discussed magnetic flux in different contexts
revisited the situation of a conductor being pulled across conducting rails in the context of flux change and got the same result for the induced current
Friday 4/23/21
worked several examples involving Faraday's Law
watched MIT 8.02 Lecture Video 20 on Inductance and the RL Circuit (through 30:54)

livestream
worked several more examples involving Faraday's Law
discussed "charging" and "discharging" for RL Circuit with number examples for each

reviewed self-inductance for a loop
viewed as many Sharpie Man videos on section R Inductance as we could watch before the end of class
