Direct current (dc) generators
Split ring (commutator) does the job of reversing polarity every half cycle
Motional emf – conductor moving in a constant magnetic field

FB = qvB will move charges
until compensated by the electric
field of end accumulations

Motion does not necessarily
mean changing magnetic flux!
Significance of the minus sign – Lenz’s Law
Induced current has such direction that its own flux opposes the change of the external
magnetic flux
Magnetic field of the induced current wants to decrease the total flux
Magnetic field of the induced current wants to increase the total flux
Correspondingly, magnetic forces oppose the motion – consistently with conservation of
energy!
Lenz’s Law – the direction of any magnetic induction effect as to oppose the cause of the effect
Lenz’s Law – a direct consequence of the energy conservation principle

Electric field around a solenoid with alternating current

Current : I(t) = Imax cos(ωt)
Magnetic field inside the solenoid :
B(t) = μ0nI(t) (outside B = 0)
Flux through the surface bounded by the path :
ΦB (t) = B(t) ⋅πR2
Electric field circulation around the path :

We cannot change magnitude of the velocity of a charged particle
in a static magnetic field B
BUT
We can do it in a time-varying magnetic field B(t) – the resulting
electric field E(t) will do the job
And that’s indeed how particles are accelerated in betatrons!
Electric currents in Earth's atmosphere can induce currents the planet's crust and oceans. During space weather disturbances, currents associated with the aurora as large as a million-amperes flow through the ionosphere at high latitudes. These currents are not steady but are fluctuating constantly in space and time - produce fluctuating magnetic fields that are felt at the Earth's surface - cause currents called GICs (ground induced currents) to flow in large-scale conductors, both natural (like the rocks in Earth's crust or salty ocean water) and man-made structures (like pipelines, transoceanic cables, and power lines).
Some rocks carry current better than others. Igneous rocks do not conduct electricity very well so the currents tend to take the path of least resistance and flow through man-made conductors that are present on the surface (like pipelines or cables). Regions of North America have significant amounts of igneous rock and thus are particularly susceptible to the effects of GICs on man-made systems. Currents flowing in the ocean contribute to GICs by entering along coastlines. GICs can enter the complex grid of transmission lines that deliver power through their grounding points. The GICs are DC flows. Under extreme space weather conditions, these GICs can cause serious problems for the operation of the power distribution networks by disrupting the operation of transformers that step voltages up and down throughout the network.
