ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION
Defination:
Electromagnetic induction (or sometimes just induction) is a
process where a conductor placed in a changing magnetic field (or a
conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field) causes the
production of a voltage across the conductor. This process of
electromagnetic induction, in turn, causes an electrical current – it is
said to induce the current.
Where
For the special case of a coil of wire, composed of N loops with the
same area, the equation becomes
A corollary of Faraday’s Law, together with Ampere’s Law and Ohm’s
Law is Lenz’s Law: The EMF induced in an electric circuit always acts in
such a direction that the current it drives around the circuit opposes
the change in magnetic flux which produces the EMF.

3.Mutual inductance:
Faraday’s law tells us that a changing magnetic flux will induce an emf
in a coil. If two coils are put next to each other, end tom end, and the
first coil has a current going through it, a magnetic field will be
produced, and a magnetic flux will pass through the second coil.
Changing the current in the first coil changes the flux through the
second, inducing an emf in the second coil. This is known as mutual
inductance, inducing an emf in one coil by changing the current through
another. The induced emf can thus written as :
4. Self inductance:
Coils can also induce emf’s in themselves. If a changing current is
passed through a coil, a changing magnetic field will be produced,
inducing an emf in the coil. As with mutual inductance, the induced
emf is proportional to the change in current. The induced emf can be
written as :

Examples of Total Internal Reflection
1. Fiber optic Cables use total internal reflection inside the optical
Fibre. The light enters the optical fiber, and every time it strikes
the edge of the fiber it experiences total internal reflection. This
way the light travels down the length of the optical fiber.
2. Binoculars use prisms to reflect light. The light enters the prism
in such a way that it will strike the other side of the prism and be
totally internally reflected. The prism can in this way act as a
mirror.
