Tossup

David Griffiths claims that there are really two laws of this process and that only relativity explains the equivalence between a central quantity and its “motional” form. In a common demonstration of this (-5[1])process, a magnet dropped through a copper tube falls unexpectedly slowly. (10[2])This process is governed by the equation “del cross E (10[1])equals minus dB/dt,” (10[1])which implies that the negative time derivative of magnetic flux equals the emf (“E-M-F”). This process creates eddy currents (10[1])that rapidly (10[1])heat metal in a namesake type of cooktop. (10[1])Lenz’s (10[1])Law (10[1])explains (10[1])the negative sign in Faraday’s law of this process. For 10 points, name this process in which a changing magnetic field creates an electric field. ■END■ (10[1])
