Covering Laws and Terms
There are many laws that apply to my project, mostly having to do with how magnetic fields interact with my system. These laws include Faraday's and Lenz's Law, which are commonly grouped together as they were based on one another, Earnshaw's Theorem about magnetic levitation, the concepts surrounding Eddy Currents, and other electrical terms such as resistivity and magnetic permeability. Faraday's Law and Lenz's Law are very important to my project because they explain how moving electricity through a coil of magnet wire will create a magnetic field. This is important because these two laws explain how my non-contact motor-generator can utilize the magnets on my axis to get my FES spinning. Faraday’s Law explains how the movement of coils along a magnetic field produces a current in the wire. The three ways are to move a magnet through a coil, to move the coil in the x- and y- directions in relation to the magnetic field, or to rotate the coil perpendicula...
