Conditions for the validity of Faraday’s law of induction and their experimental confirmation
Abstract This paper, as its main didactic objective, shows the conditions needed for the validity of Faraday’s law of induction. Inadequate comprehension of these conditions has given rise to several paradoxes about the issue; some are analysed and solved in this paper in the light of the theoretical deduction of the induction law. Furthermore, an experimental set-up, in which such conditions a...
متن کاملHistorical Development of Method in Science and Philosophy
The development and growth of science is based on method. Aristotle treated this issue seriously and formulated logic. Muslim thinkers accepted the comprehensibility of his idea and during some centuries developed it and exported to the west. During the last three centuries of the Middle Ages the issue of method was followed up seriously and induction enjoyed more importance. The scientific ...
متن کاملDeduction versus Computation: The Case of Induction
The fundamental difference and the essential complementarity between computation and deduction are central in computer algebra, automated deduction, proof assistants and in frameworks making them cooperating. In this work we show that the fundamental proof method of induction can be understood and implemented as either computation or deduction. Inductive proofs can be built either explicitly by...
متن کاملAmplitude versus Offset (AVO) Technique for Light Hydrocarbon Exploration: A Case Study
AVO as a known methodology is used to identify fluid type and reservoir lithology in subsurface exploration. Method discussed in this paper, consists of three stages, including: Direct modeling, Inverse modeling and Cross plot interpretation. By direct modeling we can clarify lithology or fluid dependent attributes. Analysis performed using both P-P and P-Sv attributes. Inverse modeling deals w...
متن کاملDeductive and probabilistic reasoning are central to cognition
functional neuroanatomy underlying them is poorly understood. The present study contrasted these two kinds of reasoning via positron emission tomography. Relying on changes in instruction and psychological ‘set’, deductive versus probabilistic reasoning was induced using identical stimuli. The stimuli were arguments in propositional calculus not readily solved via mental diagrams. Probabilistic...
