As a coil moves past a magnet, an emf is produced due to the qv * B force produced. Even if the coil is the stationary object and the magnet is being moved, the same induced electric field is produced. Because of this occurrence, the electrons are not being moved by the magnetic force, which means that this occurs because of some other effect. The effect is caused by an induced electric field being produced when a magnetic field changes with time. The induced electric field lines that are produced are circular and run perpendicular to the changing magnetic field that produced them. The magnitude of the induced electric field is calculated by the equation, Faraday's Law: - 1 CS450 Misc - 1.1 John's website - - 2 Operating System 08/20/03 - 2.1 intermediary between users and resources of computer system - 2.2 one type of a system's program - 2.3 manages hardware - 2.4 controls interactions between user and hardware - 2.5 promotes convenient and efficient sharing of system resources - 3 Computing system - 3.1 physical resources - 3.1.1 harware - 3.1.2 provides basic computing functionality of system - 3.1.3 eg. processors, memory, I/O devices, disks - 3.2 logical resources - 3.2.1 collections of information such as data or programs - 3.2.2 stored within physical resources - 3.2.3 eg. files, processes, jobs or sessions, application and system programs processes - program in execution jobs - complete unit of work application program - product software for a user to accomplish system program - provide system related services to both users and application programs - 3.3 user/program interfaces - 3.3.1 provides application usage and functionality of system - 3.4 hardware interface - 3.4.1 provides device management and device drivers - 4 User interface - 4.1 command interpreter - 4.2 application interface - 4.3 most visible portion of the OS - 5 Process management - 5.1 involves scheduling of processes scheduling - deciding which process gets CPU usage - 5.2 interleaved execution - 5.2.1 multiple processes having short use of CPU sharing - 5.3 multiprogramming - 5.3.1 allows multiple processes to share CPU - 6 Job and session management job - complete unit of work;
