What is Faraday's Law of Induction?

Faraday's Law of Induction states that a change in magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in a closed circuit.

Who discovered Faraday's Law of Induction?

Michael Faraday

What is induced EMF?

Induced EMF is the electromotive force that is produced in a closed circuit due to a change in magnetic field.

What is the formula for calculating the induced EMF?

The formula for calculating the induced EMF is given by Faraday's Law: EMF = -N(dΦ/dt)

What does N represent in the formula for induced EMF?

N represents the number of turns in the wire coil.

What does dΦ/dt represent in the formula for induced EMF?

dΦ/dt represents the rate of change of magnetic flux through the wire coil.

What is electromagnetic induction?

Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating an induced EMF by changing the magnetic field through a conductor.

What is Lenz's Law?

Lenz's Law states that the direction of the induced current in a closed circuit is always such as to oppose the change that produced it.

What are some applications of Faraday's Law of Induction?

Some applications of Faraday's Law of Induction include electric generators, transformers, and induction cooktops.

What is the unit of measurement for magnetic flux?

The unit of measurement for magnetic flux is the Weber (Wb).

What is the direction of the induced EMF in a wire coil when the magnetic field through it is increasing?

The induced EMF in a wire coil is produced in such a way that it opposes the increase in magnetic field.

What is the direction of the induced EMF in a wire coil when the magnetic field through it is decreasing?

The induced EMF in a wire coil is produced in such a way that it opposes the decrease in magnetic field.

What happens to the induced EMF if the number of turns in the wire coil is increased?

If the number of turns in the wire coil is increased, the induced EMF also increases.

What happens to the induced EMF if the rate of change of magnetic flux is increased?

If the rate of change of magnetic flux is increased, the induced EMF also increases.

What is the relationship between magnetic field strength and the induced EMF?

The induced EMF is directly proportional to the magnetic field strength.
