Electromagnetic induction is the process by which a changing magnetic field induces an electric current in a conductor. This phenomenon was first discovered by Michael Faraday in the 1830s.
Electromagnetic induction works by using a magnetic field to induce an electric current in a conductor. This can be achieved by moving a magnet near a conductor, or by changing the strength of the magnetic field near the conductor.
Electromagnetic induction has numerous applications in various industries, including power generation, electric motors, transformers, and wireless charging. It is also used in devices such as generators, alternators, and induction cooktops.
Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction states that the magnitude of the induced electromotive force in a closed circuit is equal to the rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit. In simpler terms, it means that the strength of the induced current is directly proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic field.
Lenz's law states that the direction of the induced current in a conductor will always be such that it opposes the change that caused it. This means that the induced current will always flow in a direction that creates a magnetic field that opposes the original changing magnetic field.
