Arago's Turntable - Arago's Turntable

Japanese: アラゴーの回転板 - あらごーのかいてんばん
Arago's Turntable - Arago's Turntable

...Eddy currents are generated in an electrical conductor when magnetic lines of force that pass through it move relative to the conductor. In 1824, D.F. J. Arago discovered the phenomenon of a magnetic needle on a rotating disk (known as Arago's rotating disk), and this phenomenon was later explained by the law of electromagnetic induction discovered by M. Faraday. Since J.B. Foucault demonstrated in an experiment (1855) that eddy currents cause a strong braking force to be exerted on a rotating electrical conductor disk in a strong magnetic field, they are also called Foucault currents, and this phenomenon is used in AC wattmeters and electromagnetic brakes.

…電気伝導体に対して,それを貫く磁力線が相対的に運動するとき,導体の中に生ずる渦状の電流。1824年D.F.J.アラゴーが,回転する円板の上の磁針が振れる現象(アラゴーの回転板と呼ばれている)を発見したのが初めで,この現象はその後M.ファラデーが発見した電磁誘導の法則によって説明された。渦電流によって,強い磁場中で回転する電気伝導体の円板が強い制動力を受けることをJ.B.L.フーコーが実験で示した(1855)ことからフーコー電流とも呼ばれ,この現象は交流の積算電力計や電磁ブレーキなどに利用されている。…
