Induction and Mutually Obstructing Equilibria

Classical Physics 2007-05-23 v1 General Physics

Abstract

A unified, consistent and simple view of the Faraday law of induction is presented, which consists of two points: discriminating the lab- from the rest-frame electric field and understanding it is the impossibility for both fields to vanish simultaneously, which generates and maintains the circular current. A number of illustrative examples are considered, including a mechano-electric pendulum to exhibit periodic and reversible conversion between electrical and mechanical energy.
