The following animation illustrates the principle of electromagnetic induction. A conductor is moved through a magnetic field, with the induced voltage displayed in real time. Links Description of the Animation Move the gray conductor horizontally through the magnetic field of the horseshoe magnet. The current direction is indicated by a red symbol: A dot means… Read More: Introduction to the Law of Induction »
The simulation illustrates how diffusion and drift affect the spatial distribution of charge carriers – two processes fundamental to understanding solar cells. Links Description In an illuminated semiconductor material, free charge carriers are generated: electrons and holes. Both initially move randomly through the material (diffusion). Holes form when electrons leave their lattice sites – they… Read More: Diffusion and Drift (Analogy Model for Solar Technology) »
The animation illustrates the operation of an RLC circuit. The total voltage, frequency, and nominal values of the electronic components are interactively adjustable. Instructions for Use The windows, like in all animations, can be enlarged or reduced by clicking. After starting the application, you can view the animation in fullscreen mode. To do so, click… Read More: RLC Circuits »
The animation shows how an electric voltage is generated by a rotating magnetic field. In the 3D scene (top left) you can see a cylindrical conductor above a rotating magnet. Inside the conductor, an electric current is induced. This is indicated by blue spheres. Instructions for Use Like all animations, the windows can be enlarged… Read More: Electromagnetic Induction by Rotational Motion »
The interactive animation illustrates the principle of electromagnetic induction using the example of a rotating conductor loop. The 3D model can be rotated interactively. You can zoom in and out the rectangles in the animation with a mouse click. In the following screenshot only the 3D model is shown. The animation shows a conductor loop… Read More: Electrical Induction 2 »
The interactive animation shows how electric current is generated by motion. In the upper left area of the animation, a 3D scene is displayed, consisting of a horseshoe magnet and a metal cylinder (conductor). The conductor can be moved interactively through a magnetic field. In this case, the law of induction describes the formation of… Read More: Electromagnetic Induction 1 »
The interactive animation illustrates the forces acting in the rotor plane of a wind turbine. These forces account for a large part of the loads to which a rotor is subjected. The magnitude of the tangential force can be continuously adjusted via a controller. The tangential force arises from the lift generated when the wind… Read More: Forces on the Rotor of a Wind Turbine »
The animation shows how electric motors work and their operating behaviour. Series and shunt-wound motors are compared. Note on Use As with all animations, the windows can be enlarged or reduced by clicking on them. After starting the application, you can view the animation in full-screen mode. To do this, click on “View” and then… Read More: Series and Shunt-Wound Motors »
The following animation illustrates the principle of the electromagnetic force effect. The animation shows an experimental setup in which a current-carrying conductor is exposed to an external magnetic field. According to the Lorentz force law, a force acts on the conductor. In the animation this force visibly deflects the conductor sideways. Note on Use As… Read More: Electromagnetic Force Effect »
