Counter electromotive force happens as a result of a change in a magnetic field?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Meaning when a electromagnet repels a magnet. The CEMF only happens when the magnet is "repelled" its a result a aftermath of the force being applied.

note that the electromotive force(which moves electrons) tries to oppose the magnetic field producing it as a result of newton's third law, but it cannot repel the magnet as it is an internal force.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dunno exactly what you mean by counter emf but when magnetic field changes it would induce an emf which tries to negate the effect of the change!..

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

I would say the term "counter-emf" is relevant to the study of motors. So I think it is relevant in the context of a conductor moving in a stationary field, not so much so in the context of a change in magnetic field.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So generally EMF is only induced when there is a change in a magnetic field. Examples of change is: Motion of a magnet Creation/destruction of a magnetic field What else?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Shadowys what do you mean? if a magnet passes a coil its KE is converted. Thus the magnet "slows" down. Example: Drop a magnet in a copper pipe.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mashy yea, what other factors could cause "Change" other than motion of a magnet? I already mentioned the creation/destruction of a magnetic field induced EMF too.

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Careful: if the magnet slows down, it has nothing to do with emf or counter-emf. Remember emf is a misleading term for the voltage of an induced battery, and has nothing to do with a mechanical force. emf expressed in volts real force expressed in newtons

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Vincent-Lyon.Fr Please explain! If the magnet speeds up or slow's down it has nothing to do with c-emf? Or emf itself?!?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm confused... at the point you've stated @Vincent-Lyon.Fr

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that when a magnet passes through a coil, it induced emf that opposes the applied emf from the power source. It also created a magnetic field that opposes the magnet.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

other ways is to rotate a coil in a stationary field.. and another way is having an alternating or changing current which also produce changing magnetic fields and hence lead to induction!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hello

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If there is an open circuit not closed. And a magnet passes through a coil, emf is induced but current can not flow. What happens?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1367950175754:dw| The magnet is moving back and forth. And there is induced emf. However, because the circuit is opened, I = 0 is this correct? If so, when the magnet stops V = 0. As soon as the magnet is at rest voltage drops rapidly(some what being instant and un-noticeable)
