Energy in Simple Harmonic Motion01:23

Energy in Simple Harmonic Motion

To determine the energy of a simple harmonic oscillator, consider all the forms of energy it can have during its simple harmonic motion. According to Hooke's Law, the energy stored during the compression/stretching of a string in a simple harmonic oscillator is potential energy. As the simple harmonic oscillator has no dissipative forces, it also possesses kinetic energy. In the presence of conservative forces, both energies can interconvert during oscillation, but the total energy remains...

Magnetic Damping01:17

Magnetic Damping

Eddy currents can produce significant drag on motion, called magnetic damping. For instance, when a metallic pendulum bob swings between the poles of a strong magnet, significant drag acts on the bob as it enters and leaves the field, quickly damping the motion.
If, however, the bob is a slotted metal plate, the magnet produces a much smaller effect. When a slotted metal plate enters the field, an emf is induced by the change in flux; however, it is less effective because the slots limit the...

Torsional Pendulum01:09

Torsional Pendulum

A torsional pendulum involves the oscillation of a rigid body in which the restoring force is provided by the torsion in the string from which the rigid body is suspended. Ideally, the string should be massless; practically, its mass is much smaller than the rigid body's mass and is neglected.
As long as the rigid body's angular displacement is small, its oscillation can be modeled as a linear angular oscillation. The amplitude of the oscillation is an angle. The role of mass is played...

Moment of Inertia and Rotational Kinetic Energy00:52

Moment of Inertia and Rotational Kinetic Energy

The rotational kinetic energy of a body is equal to half the square of its angular speed and the moment of inertia.
This relationship between the rotational kinetic energy of a body and its angular speed implies that for the same angular speed, the rotational kinetic energy is greater if its moment of inertia is greater. Thus, more work needs to be done on the body to change its rotational kinetic energy and rotate it at a specific angular speed. Hence, the moment of inertia quantifies the...

Mass Moment of Inertia01:10

Mass Moment of Inertia

The mass moment of inertia is a measure of the resistance of a rigid body to angular acceleration. This physical quantity can be evaluated and analyzed in various rotational motions, from everyday objects such as fans and wind turbines to complex machines used in challenging industries.
Consider a differential mass element on an arbitrary object. The differential moment of inertia can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the element by the square of its distance from the object's rotational...

Generating Electromagnetic Radiations01:10

Generating Electromagnetic Radiations

The German physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857–1894) was the first to generate and detect certain types of electromagnetic waves in the laboratory. Starting in 1887, he performed a series of experiments that confirmed the existence of electromagnetic waves and verified that they travel at the speed of light. Hertz used an alternating-current RLC (resistor-inductor-capacitor) circuit that resonated at a known frequency and connected it to a loop of wire. High voltages induced across the gap in...
