Lecture 18: Induced Electric Field, Eddy Currents, Displacement Current

Objectives:
  • Understand and calculate induced electric fields
  • Understand circulating currents called "eddy currents"
  • Use displacement currents to explain how a time-varying electric field can induce a magnetic field
  • Calculate displacement current in simple problems
  • Understand that a current in a coil of wire produces an emf that opposes the original current
