Frequency doubling of an induction-driven rotating loop
ID: frequency-doubling-of-an-induction-driven-rotating-loop
Let a conducting loop of area A rotate about z with normal in a fixed field . Neglect inductance so . Put . Its vector magnetic moment isThe static component does not radiate. The remaining component rotates at twice the mechanical frequency and has . Thus . Treating the same sinusoidal current as a fixed-axis moment underestimates this rotating geometry by a factor of eight. The energy source is mechanical rotation, with additional ohmic dissipation and magnetic braking.
