Electromagnetic

Induction
A future generated by power

History of the Concept

The

theory and concept of electromagnetic

induction by discovered by Michael Faraday,
an acclaimed scientist during his time, who
proved it through experimental
demonstration (1831).

First

experiment was made with two coils

and an iron ring.

Heinrich

Lenz, composed many future laws

that would aid in the comprehension of this
discovery (1834).

Michael Faradays first discovery of Electromagnetic Induction

This first experiment was made out of coils wrapped around and iron ring, one connected to a
battery, while the other to a galvanometer, through this experiment a current would pass
through one coil and be induced into the other producing power.

This displays how the

movement of current is
redirected
from
two
repelling charges. They are
then
moved
across
a
stationary plane into the
coil, the voltage in the coil
is
proportional
to
the
number of loops and the
rate of the magnetic field
changing.

This photo is relative to what the

first model that successfully
proved
the
concept
of
Electromagnetic
Induction.
Michael Faraday used this to
make his discovery open to the
general public in 1831.

Faradays and Linzs Laws

Faradays Law of induction stated that a magnetic field will interact with a
corresponding to an electric current to make a product of electromotive force
which is also known as EMF. This is know called Electromagnetic induction.

Heinrich Linzs Law states that if a current is

induced the direction of the current will always
appear to oppose the charge which produced it.

Necessary Vocabulary
Take Notes

Electromagnetic Induction - This is the product of

electromotive force through any conductor that is exposed
to different magnetic fields.

Voltmeter - A contraption in which the purpose is to

measure the potential of electricity in volts.

Faradays Law - Electric Fields are made in any region of

space with a moving magnetic field. This magnitude of the
electric field (that is induced) is proportioned to the rate in
which the magnetic field changes

Electromotive Force - A potential difference that leads to a

increase in an electric current.

Magnetic Flux - Number of field lines (magnetic) that pass

through a surface an example may be a conductor coil.

Neseccary Vocabulary

Generator - This is an electromagnetic induction

contraption that is able to produce an electric
current with a rotating coil in a stationary position.
This is able to convert electrical energy to
mechanical.

Galvanometer - Sensitive Ammeter; is a device that

is utilized to detect an Electric Current.

Newtons Third Law For every action there is an

equal and opposite reaction.

Equations related to Induction

Any induced electromotive force in
any closed circuit is equal to the
rate of change of the magnetic flux
enclosed by the circuit. E in the
case equals (EMF) while O equals
magnetic flux.

This relates to the equation

above though, this states that
the magnetic flux is within a
surface integral. dA in this
problem being total surface
area
and
E
being
the
magnetic field.

This

electric field and B the
magnetic field.

Sample Problem

Problem I A 500-tum rectangular loop of wire has an

area per tum of 4.5 x 10-r m2. At to = 0 s, a
magnetic field is tumed on" and its magnitude
increases to 0.50 T when t = 0.75 s. The field is
directed at an angle of :30.0'with respect to the
normal of the loop. (a) Find the magnitude ofthe
average EMF induced in the loop. (b) If the loop is a
closed circuit whose resistance is 6.0 O , determine
the average induced current.
