SUMMARY
Moving a coil within a magnetic field, specifically between the poles of an electromagnet, induces an electromotive force (EMF) according to Faraday's Law of induction. This principle states that a change in magnetic flux through the coil generates an electric current. If the magnetic field is homogeneous and the coil is moved without rotation, an EMF is produced, leading to a measurable current in the coil. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between motion and magnetic fields in electromagnetic induction.
