Electromagnetic induction is whenanelectromagnetic field causes molecules
inanother object to flow. Induction can produce electricity (in coils), heat (in
ferrousmetals),orwaves(inaradiotransmitter).
Magnetic Flux is defined as the product of the magnetic flux density and

Principle:
Electromagneticinduction(orsometi mesjust induction)isaprocesswhereaconductor
placed in a changing magnetic field (or a conductor moving through astationary
magnetic field) causes the production of a voltage across the conductor.This
process of electromagnetic induction, in turn, causes an electrical current -

Invention:
MichaelFaraday is generallycreditedwith the discoveryofinductionin1831though it
may have been anticipated by the work of Francesco Zantedeschi in 1829.Around
1830 to 1832, Joseph Henry made a si milar discovery, but did not

Inducede.m.f.s:
If magnetic flux through a coilis altered then ane.m.f. willbe generated in thecoil.
This effect was first observed and explained by Ampere and Faraday
between1825and1831.Faradaydiscoveredthatane.m.f.couldbegeneratedeitherby,

Coil A is connected to a galvanometer and coil B is connected to a battery and
hasdirect current flowing through it. Coil A is within the magnetic field produced
by Band an e.m.f. can be produced in A by moving the coils relative to each other or
bychanging the size of the current in B. This can be done by using the rheostat

WorkingandConstruction:
Current is produced in a conductor when it is moved through amagnetic
fieldbecause the magnetic lines of force are applying a force on the free electrons
inthe conductor and causing them to move. This process of generating current in
aconductor by placing the conductor in a changing magnetic field is called
induction.Thisiscalledinductionbecausethereisnophysicalconnectionbetweenthecond
uctor and the magnet. The current is said to be induced in the conductor
bythemagneticfield.
One requirement forthiselectromagnetic inductiontotake placeisthattheconductor,
which is often a piece of wire, must be perpendicular to the magneticlines of force
in order to produce the maximum force on the free electrons. Thedirectionthat
the induced current flows is determined bythe directionof thelines of force and by
the direction the wire is moving in the field.In the ani mationabove the ammeter
(the instrument used to measure current) indicates when thereiscurrentin
theconductor.
If an AC current is fed through a piece of wire, the electromagnetic field that
isproducedisconstantlygrowingandshrinkingduetotheconstantlychangingcurrent in
the wire. This growing and shrinking magnetic field can induce electricalcurrent in
another wire that is held close to the first wire. The current in thesecond wire
willalso be AC and in fact will look verysimilar to the current flowinginthefirstwire.
Applicationsofelectromagnetic Induction
ElectricalGenerator:
The EMF generated by Faraday's law of induction due to relative movement of
acircuit and a magnetic field is the phenomenon underlying electrical
generators.Whena permanentmagnet is moved relative toaconductor,or vice
versa,anelectromotive force is created. If the wire is connected through an
electrical load,currentwillflow,andthus
electricalenergyisgenerated,convertingthemechanicalenergyofmotiontoelectricalen
ergy
Electricaltransformer
TheEMFpredictedbyFaraday'slawisalsoresponsibleforelectricaltransformers. When
the electric current in a loop of wire changes, the changingcurrent creates a
changing magnetic field. A second wire in reach of this magneticfieldwillexperience
this change inmagneticfieldas achange inits coupledmagnetic flux, d ΦB/ d t.
Therefore, an electromotive force is set up in the secondloop called the induced
EMF or transformer EMF. If the two ends of this loop
areconnectedthroughanelectricalload,currentwillflow.
Magneticflowmeter:
Faraday's law is used for measuring the flow of electrically conductive liquids
andslurries. Such instruments are called magnetic flow meters. The induced
voltage ℇgenerated in the magnetic field B due to a conductive liquid moving at
velocity v isthusgivenby:
