So I have a loop of wire parallel to Earth. I drop a magnet through the loop.
The magnet is lined up with N on top and S on bottom (so S goes through the
loop first).
If I were to qualitatively graph the flux vs time, and current vs time I'd get
(would I get?):
Part 1: S is far away to S / N magnet bisect the loop.
Flux goes from zero (or really really small) to a maximum (when S pole is in
center of loop) and then back to zero when the magnet is bisected by loop
(weakest part of magnetic field).
Part 2: S / N bisect loop to N is far away.
Flux goes from zero to maximum (when N pole is in center of loop) to zero when
N is really far away.
When this is graphed, is this like a 2 humped camel with both humps up, or is
this more like a sine curve with one hump up and one hump down?
How would we get the up vs down (+ vs -) from Flux = BA (where would the
negative come from)?
When we rotate a magnet in the place of a coil, the angle changes and rotates
through the 2rpi. The cosine would give us +/-. Since we are not
rotating, it
would appear that we could choose if we want it to be + or - the entire fall.
So-
Would flux be a two humped camel?
Would the two humps be both up, or could you explain how to make one
up (+) and
one down (-)?
