Electromagnetic Damping
Core Sentence / 核心句
Electromagnetic damping converts mechanical energy into electrical energy by inducing a current whose magnetic force opposes motion.
中文理解:运动产生 EMF 和 current,current 在 magnetic field 中又受到反向 force,因此 kinetic energy 被转移到 circuit。
Magnetic Drag / 磁阻力
sliding rod:
direction opposite motion。
Free Decay / 自由衰减
Falling Rod / 下落导体棒
Energy / 能量
constant speed:
Watch Out / 易错点
- terminal speed means zero net force, not zero forces。
- magnetic force redirects charge; external/mechanical work supplies energy。
- may depend on geometry。
- stronger changes damping quadratically。
