SUMMARY
Systems that generate counter-electromotive force (C-EMF) include electric motors and inductors. C-EMF arises from a changing electromagnetic field, which can be achieved by altering the current flow through an inductor or moving a magnet relative to a coil. Specifically, when the current through an inductor changes, it induces an opposing EMF due to the change in the magnetic field's magnitude. Additionally, the movement of a magnet into a coil results in a changing magnetic field, further inducing current.
