Electromagnetic Induction

Faraday's and cenz's laws.

Definitions

Electromagnetic induction refers to the production of an induced

EMF magnetic force).

EMF can be thought of as a voltage or potential difference,

induced in a conductor as a result of the vel ative

motion of a magnet and a coil.

If a there is a closed circuit, an current induced current induced.

Farady's law

Michael Favaday performed a sevies of experiments that

showed an EMF is induced in a circuit when it

experiences a change in magnetic flux.

Magnetic flux: A measure of the total number of

magnetic field lines that pass through a chosen

surface area.

Faraday's Law can be stated as follows:

An EMF is induced whenever a circuit experiences a

change of magnetic flux and the EMF induced in a

circuit is directly proportional to the rate of change

of magnetic flux through the circuit.
