    • Magnetic diffusion, inductive shielding, and the Laplace transform 

      Krosney, Alexander E.; Lang, Michael; Weirathmueller, Jakob J.; Bidinosti, Christopher P. (American Institute of Physics (AIP) for the American Association of Physics Teachers, 2021-04-21)
      In the quasistatic limit, a time-varying magnetic field inside a conductor is governed by the diffusion equation. Despite the occurrence of this scenario in many popular physics demonstrations, the concept of magnetic ...
    • The metallic sphere in a uniform ac magnetic field: A simple and precise experiment for exploring eddy currents and non-destructive testing 

      Honke, Michael L.; Bidinosti, Christopher P. (American Association of Physics Teachers, 2018-06)
      We describe a very simple experiment that utilizes standard laboratory equipment to measure the electromagnetic response of a metallic sphere exposed to a uniform ac magnetic field. Measurements were made for a variety of ...
    • Passive magnetic shielding in static gradient fields 

      Bidinosti, C. P.; Martin, J. W. (American Institute of Physics, 2014)
      The effect of passive magnetic shielding on dc magnetic field gradients imposed by both external and internal sources is studied for two idealized shield models: concentric spherical and infinitely-long cylindrical shells ...
