Current flow patterns in a Faraday disc
نویسنده
چکیده
A simple model is developed in order to calculate the flow of current in a Faraday disc when it is delivering power to an external circuit. Several counterintuitive features emerge which are not revealed by a qualitative discussion. The argument is non-relativistic, and it is conducted in the laboratory frame of reference.

Electrostatics of the Granular Flow in a Vertical Pneumatic Conveying System
The phenomenon of electrostatic charge generation in a pneumatic conveying system was studied. The main parameters used for quantitative characterization of the phenomenon included induced current, particle charge density and equivalent current of the charged granular flow. These were measured using a Digital Electrometer, Faraday Cage and Modular Parametric Current Transformer (MPCT) respectiv...

The importance and use of carefully selected demonstration experiments in the teaching of physics should not be underestimated. Cliff Swartz, the highly regarded American teacher of physics writes that “Physics instruction without demonstrations is like dinner without food” [1]. Pedagogically, demonstration experiments provide those we teach with an opportunity to gain and develop basic familia...
