POC Bounded Classical – Law L10: Faraday’s Law of Induction – SSM

A bounded two-lane view of Faraday’s Law so the same induced EMF |eps| can be tagged calm, borderline, or stressed.


Domain. Electromagnetics / Generators / Lab Coil

Classical law.

In its simplest form for a coil with N turns and changing magnetic flux Phi:

  • eps = -N * dPhi_dt

For this POC we focus on the magnitude of induced EMF (ignore the sign):

  • |eps| = N * |dPhi_dt|

with a finite-difference estimate:

  • dPhi_dt ≈ (Phi2 - Phi1) / dt

What this shows

In this law POC, we take Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction and show how:

  • The Classical calculation gives the scalar EMF |eps| induced in a coil, and
  • The Shunyaya Symbolic Mathematics (SSM) version keeps that EMF magnitude intact but adds a bounded alignment lane a in (-1,+1), indicating whether this particular eps = -N * dPhi_dt situation is calm, borderline, or stressed.

When:

  • The coil speed is steady,
  • Flux measurements are clean, and
  • Timing is sharp,

Shunyaya Symbolic Mathematics (SSM) collapses to the Classical result and you effectively get the same answer.

But in real labs and machines, dPhi_dt is notoriously noisy:

  • Jerky coil motion or shaft non-uniformity,
  • Flux probe jitter,
  • Coarse timing marks.

The alignment lane a and its band reveal posture that the classical scalar EMF alone cannot show.

POC display policy (simple).

For this POC, we use:

  • a_semantics = "drift-positive"

so larger printed a means more drift / more risk. This is a display choice only; you can flip semantics without changing the math or phi((m,a)) = m.


1) Setup (inputs)

Imagine a lab induction coil near a changing magnetic field:

  • A coil with known turns sits near a rotating magnet.
  • You sample the magnetic flux through the coil twice, a short time apart.
  • You estimate the induced EMF using a finite difference.

We model:

  • Number of turns (reasonably well known):
    • N_m = 200, N_a = +0.02 — coil turns counted and archived; small uncertainty.
  • Flux samples (two instants):
    • Phi1_m = 0.012 Wb, Phi1_a = +0.60 — first reading, coil still speeding up / probe noisy
    • Phi2_m = 0.004 Wb, Phi2_a = +0.25 — second reading, a bit steadier
  • Sampling time interval:
    • dt_m = 0.040 s, dt_a = +0.10 — timing from scope or controller, modest jitter

In SSM:

  • Each physical quantity is two-lane: (m, a) with a in (-1,+1).
  • Collapse parity is phi((m,a)) = m — drop the alignment lane, keep the magnitude.

Our target:

  • Compute classical EMF from the two flux samples, then
  • Wrap it as (m_eps, a_eps) with a meaningful bounded alignment lane.

2) Classical calculation

Ignoring alignment, use a simple two-point estimate of dPhi_dt:

# classical illustration (no external packages required)

N    = 200      # turns
Phi1 = 0.012    # Wb
Phi2 = 0.004    # Wb
dt   = 0.040    # s

dPhi_dt = (Phi2 - Phi1) / dt
eps_mag = N * abs(dPhi_dt)

print(dPhi_dt)   # -0.200 Wb/s
print(eps_mag)   # 40.0 V

Classical result.

  • dPhi_dt ≈ -0.200 Wb/s
  • |eps| ≈ 40.0 V

A typical lab note might simply say:
“Induced EMF ≈ 40 V at this speed.”

There is no explicit distinction between:

  • 40 V from a clean, smooth spin, and
  • 40 V from a jerky, poorly timed, noisy flux measurement.

3) SSM calculation (same EMF magnitude + bounded alignment lane)

In Shunyaya Symbolic Mathematics (SSM), we:

  1. Treat each flux sample as (m,a) and build a flux-change alignment for
    DeltaPhi = Phi2 - Phi1. Conceptually:
    • DeltaPhi = Phi2 - Phi1
    For posture, both samples matter. We combine their lanes via a sum of rapidities: a_DeltaPhi := tanh(atanh(a_Phi1_c) + atanh(a_Phi2_c))
  2. Treat the time interval as (dt_m, dt_a) and build an alignment for
    dPhi_dt = DeltaPhi / dt using a division rule: a_dPhi_dt := tanh(atanh(a_DeltaPhi_c) - atanh(a_dt_c))
  3. Combine the turns lane and derivative lane to get the EMF lane: a_eps := tanh(atanh(a_N_c) + atanh(a_dPhi_dt_c))
  4. Keep the EMF magnitude as the classical value eps_mag_m: eps_mag_m = N_m * abs((Phi2_m - Phi1_m) / dt_m) phi((eps_mag_m, a_eps)) = eps_mag_m

So:

  • The induced EMF magnitude remains ≈ 40 V.
  • The bounded alignment lane a_eps tells you whether that 40 V comes from steady, well-resolved induction or noisy, jerky induction.

# 1) law-specific inputs: Faraday's law |eps| = N * |dPhi/dt|
# with dPhi/dt ≈ (Phi2 - Phi1) / dt

# number of turns (m, a)
N_m, N_a = 200, +0.02    # turns

# flux samples (m, a)
Phi1_m, Phi1_a = 0.012, +0.60   # Wb, noisy first sample

# time interval (m, a)
dt_m, dt_a = 0.040, +0.10       # s

# 2) classical magnitudes

dPhi_dt_m = (Phi2_m - Phi1_m) / dt_m
eps_mag_m = N_m * abs(dPhi_dt_m)

# 3) SSM alignments

# lane for DeltaPhi from two flux samples
a_dPhi = ssm_align_sum([Phi1_a, Phi2_a])

# lane for dPhi/dt = DeltaPhi / dt
a_dPhi_dt = ssm_align_div(a_dPhi, dt_a, eps=1e-6)

# EMF alignment from N * dPhi/dt
a_eps = ssm_align_sum([N_a, a_dPhi_dt])

print("Classical:")
print("  dPhi/dt ~", f"{dPhi_dt_m:.3f}", "Wb/s")
print("  |eps|   =", f"{eps_mag_m:.2f}", "V")

print("SSM (induced EMF lane):")
print("  |eps| =", f"m={eps_mag_m:.2f}, a={a_eps:+.4f}")

Later, your shared runner can assign bands, e.g.:

  • |a| < 0.20 → A+ (calm induction snapshot)
  • 0.20 <= |a| < 0.50 → A0 (borderline)
  • |a| >= 0.50 → A- (stressed / noisy induction)

5) What to expect

Numerically:

  • Classical:
    • dPhi_dt ≈ -0.200 Wb/s
    • |eps| ≈ 40.0 V
  • SSM (induced EMF lane):
    • m = 40.0 V (same as classical)
    • a_eps will be fairly large positive (due to a very noisy first flux sample and a shaky dt).

Under the sample band policy, you will typically see:

  • a_eps in A− (stressed) — indicating that although the EMF value is numerically reasonable, it comes from a noisy dPhi_dt estimate.

If you improved the setup:

  • Smoother mechanical motion,
  • More stable flux probe (smaller Phi1_a, Phi2_a),
  • Better timing (smaller dt_a),

then:

  • a_dPhi and a_dPhi_dt would shrink toward 0,
  • a_eps would move toward 0,

and the same ~40 V would now appear as a calmer, more trustworthy EMF measurement.


6) Why this helps in the real world

  • Generator designers can distinguish between EMF outputs that come from smooth, well-controlled operation and those that come from jerky, noisy operating points, even when the RMS voltages look similar.
  • Lab experiments on induction can show students that dPhi/dt measurements are often the weakest link, and SSM makes that visible via a.
  • Condition monitoring could use a_eps as a simple lane for operational posture, highlighting when induced voltages look fine but are rooted in unstable flux dynamics.
