Title: Would Lenz's law refined apply to a gravitational field?
Post by: ron123456 on 22/01/2020 18:25:17

Lenz'a Law: "The electrons of an induced current move in the direction that produces a magnetic field to oppose the inducing action."

My question differs a bit in respect that I'm not introducing magnetic fields (no spinning superconductor)….

Can simply a superconductive loop be inserted into or withdrawn from a weak gravitational field and experience an induced opposing force to the change? Thx

No evidence AFAIK. Remember the "laws" of physics are descriptions, not prescriptions.

There is indeed such as thing as "gravitomagnetism". It's relationship to gravity is similar to the relationship between electric fields and magnetic fields: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitoelectromagnetism

I don't think there are any (confirmed) effects on superconductors, however.

Interesting.  If Sol and this system was not under acceleration, would the planets still orbit and the system remain intact?  The system's orbits are perpendicular to that acceleration.  Can some of that acceleration be transferred to the orbits?  And "oppose" the inducement?  Sorta brake our system V?
