    Faraday's law Law
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding Faraday's Law, specifically the equation ^B/^t=0.4T/s related to a magnet moving into a coil. The symbol '^' represents a change, which can be replaced with 'd' for differentiation, indicating the change in magnetic flux over time. The equation can be expressed as d(BA)/dt, where B is the magnetic field and A is the area. For further clarification, participants are encouraged to refer to additional resources like Wikipedia on electromagnetic induction. This explanation aids in applying Faraday's Law to specific scenarios involving magnetic fields and coils.

Hello,

I have found this information on the internet, but just need a few parts explained:

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/electric/farlaw.html

For the 'magnet moving into coil' (lower left illustration),where it says ^B/^t=0.4T/s (where '^' is the triangular symbol in the illustration) what do i have to replace the '^B' and '^t' with for my own equasion?

Thank you

"^" is nothing but the change..^ can be replaced with "d" differentiation. To explain with other example, velocity is the change in distance w.r.t time.
i.e. velocity = final distance - initial distance/time taken
which can be written as velocity = dl/dt where dl is the change in distance ...

The same applies for faraday's law
^B/^t = d(BA)/dt= change in magnetic flux w.r.t. time..where B is magnetic field and A is area
