SUMMARY
The magnitude of induced electromotive force (EMF) is determined by the principles of motional EMF, which arises when a conductor moves through a magnetic field. In this discussion, it is clarified that Faraday's Law is not applicable in cases where there is no change in the magnetic field, but rather the motion of the conductor itself generates the induced EMF. The key takeaway is that the induced current's magnitude is directly related to the velocity of the conductor and the strength of the magnetic field it interacts with.
