Counter-electromotive force (counter EMF, CEMF, back EMF), [1] is the electromotive force (EMF) manifesting as a voltage that opposes the change in current which induced it. CEMF is the EMF caused by electromagnetic induction.

Oct 30, 2022 · The current will try to complete the circuit back to its source (the source for the high voltage being the ignition coil). One possible return path goes through the battery (not something you want to subject to a repeated sequence of high voltage surges).

Nov 16, 2020 · They’re everywhere that a solenoid is used, from door lock actuators to the A/C compressor clutch. Relays also contain coils, and the common feature of them all is that they dump a reverse current, called “back EMF” (electromotive force) into the coil’s supply circuit.

Aug 28, 2010 · If you "stop" the back EMF, you won't get very good performance. Your post describes this as an ignition coil driver. You haven't said what the application is, but assuming that it's an ignition coil for a gasoline engine, such coils have two windings, a …

Jun 30, 2019 · Scenarios where Inductor back EMF would result in damage of circuit or component

In the conventional system, points can see currents of 3-4 amps and break voltages of up to 200 volts when the coil discharges. This “back emf” (electro-motive force) is due to the design of the ignition coil and its inherent inductance.

Back emf is the generator output of a motor, and so it is proportional to the motor’s angular velocity [latex]\omega[/latex]. It is zero when the motor is first turned on, meaning that the coil receives the full driving voltage and the motor draws maximum current when it …

Back electro motive force (EMF) is known under a variety of other names. The most common alternative name is counter electromotive force. It is a voltage that opposes the change in current that induced it, as is described by Lenz’s law.

Oct 11, 2021 · An inductor has two modes: As a load, when a source is pumping current through it, it stores energy in its magnetic field. While this happens, the inductor voltage resists the source voltage. This is the back-EMF. In your posted circuit, that is when the switch is closed, the current flows clockwise and the inductor voltage is + on top, - on ...

The back emf is developed in series with the applied voltage, but opposite in direction, i.e., the back emf opposes the current which causes it. The magnitude of the back emf is given by the same expression shown below:
