Induction Experiments
During the 1830s, several pioneering experiments with magnetically
induced emf were carried out in England by Michael Faraday and in the United
States by Joseph Henry (1797–1878), later the first director of the Smithsonian
Institution. Figure 1 shows several examples. In Fig.1a, a coil of wire is connected
to a galvanometer. When the nearby magnet is stationary, the meter shows no
current. This isn’t surprising; there is no source of emf in the circuit. But when we
move the magnet either toward or away from the coil, the meter shows current in
the circuit, but only while the magnet is moving (Fig.1b). If we keep the magnet
stationary and move the coil, we again detect a current during the motion. We call
this an induced current, and the corresponding emf required to cause this current
is called an induced emf.
Finally, using the two-coil setup in Fig.1d, we keep both coils stationary and
vary the current in the second coil, either by opening and closing the switch or by
changing the resistance of the second coil with the switch closed (perhaps by
changing the second coil’s temperature). We find that as we open or close the
switch, there is a momentary current pulse in the first circuit. When we vary the
resistance (and thus the current) in the second coil, there is an induced current in
the first circuit, but only while the current in the second circuit is changing.

Induced emfs are not mere laboratory curiosities but have a tremendous
number of practical applications. If you are reading these words indoors, you are
making use of induced emfs right now! At the power plant that supplies your
neighborhood, an electric generator produces an emf by varying the magnetic flux
through coils of wire. This emf supplies the voltage between the terminals of the
wall sockets in your home, and this voltage supplies the power to your reading
lamp. Indeed, any appliance that you plug into a wall socket makes use of induced
emfs.
Magnetic Flux
The magnetic flux (often denoted Φ or ΦB) through a surface is the
component of the magnetic field passing through that surface. The magnetic flux
through some surface is proportional to the number of field lines passing through
that surface. The magnetic flux passing through a surface of vector area A is
⃗ • 𝐴 = 𝐵 𝐴 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃
Φ𝐵 = 𝐵
where B is the magnitude of the magnetic field (having the unit of Tesla, T), A is
the area of the surface, and θ is the angle between the magnetic field lines and the
normal (perpendicular) to A.
From the definition of magnetic flux, we see that its SI unit is the tesla–
square meter (𝑇 ∙ 𝑚2 ), which is called the weber (abbreviated Wb):
1 𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑒𝑟 = 1 𝑊𝑏 = 1 𝑇 ∙ 𝑚2 .
5
Faraday’s Law
The common element in all induction effects is changing magnetic flux
through a circuit. Before stating the simple physical law that summarizes all of the
kinds of experiments described in Induction Experiments part, let’s first review the
concept of magnetic flux Φ𝐵 . For an infinitesimal area element 𝑑𝐴 in a magnetic
⃗ (Fig. 2), the magnetic flux 𝑑Φ𝐵 through the
field 𝐵
area is
⃗ • 𝑑𝐴 = 𝐵⊥ 𝑑𝐴 = 𝐵 𝑑𝐴 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃
𝑑Φ𝐵 = 𝐵 𝐸𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 1
Figure 3. Calculating the flux of a uniform magnetic field through a flat area.
The total magnetic flux Φ𝐵 through a finite area is the integral of this
expression over the area:
⃗ • 𝐴 = 𝐵𝐴 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃
Φ𝐵 = 𝐵 𝐸𝑞. 2
The induced emf in a closed loop equals the negative of the time rate of
change of magnetic flux through the loop.
6
ΔΦ
(We can use this formula from other books and references: 𝜀 = − 𝐵)
Δ𝑡
As you will see the formula, the induced emf tends to oppose the flux change, so
Faraday’s law is formally written as seen above with the minus sign indicating that
opposition. We often neglect the minus sign, seeking only the magnitude of the
induced emf.
(The minus sign is there to remind us in which direction the induced emf
acts. Experiments shows that a current produced by an induced emf moves in
a direction so that its magnetic field opposes the original change in flux. This
is known as Lenz’s Law.)
𝑑Φ𝐵
𝜀 = −𝑁 (𝑐𝑜𝑖𝑙 𝑜𝑓 𝑁 𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑠) 𝐸𝑞. 4
𝑑𝑡
Here are the general means by which we can change the magnetic flux
through a coil:
1. Change the magnitude B of the magnetic field within the coil.
2. Change either the total area of the coil or the portion of that area that lies
within the magnetic field (for example, by expanding the coil or sliding it into
or out of the field).
3. Change the angle between the direction of the magnetic field 𝐵⃗ and the plane
of the coil (for example, by rotating the coil so that field 𝐵 ⃗ is first
perpendicular to the plane of the coil and then is along that plane).
7
(a) Find the induced emf and the induced current in the circuit.
(b) If the loop is replaced by one made of an insulator, what effect does this have
on the induced emf and induced current?
Solution
IDENTIFY and SET UP: The magnetic flux Φ𝐵 through the loop changes as
the magnetic field changes. Hence there will be an induced emf 𝜀 and an induced
current I in the loop. We calculate Φ𝐵 using Eq.
⃗
(Φ𝐵 = 𝐵 • 𝐴 = 𝐵𝐴 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃), then find 𝜀 using Faraday’s law. Finally, we calculate I using
𝜀 = 𝐼𝑅 where R is the total resistance of the circuit that includes the loop.
EXECUTE: (a) The area 𝐴 vector for the loop is perpendicular to the plane of
⃗ are parallel, and because
the loop; we take 𝐴 to be vertically upward. Then 𝐴 and 𝐵
⃗ is uniform the magnetic flux through the loop is Φ𝐵 = 𝐵
𝐵 ⃗ • 𝐴 = 𝐵𝐴 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 = 𝐵𝐴. The
area 𝐴 = 0.012𝑚 is constant, so the rate of change of magnetic flux is
2
𝑑Φ𝐵 𝑑(𝐵𝐴) 𝑑𝐵 𝑇
= = 𝐴 = (0.020 ) (0.012𝑚2 )
𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑡 𝑠
This, apart from a sign that we haven’t discussed yet, is the induced emf 𝜀.
The corresponding induced current is
𝜀 2.4 𝑥 10−4 𝑉
𝐼= = = 4.8 𝑥 10−5 𝐴 = 0.048 𝑚𝐴
𝑅 5.0 Ω
(b) By changing to an insulating loop, we’ve made the resistance of the loop
𝑑Φ
very high. Faraday’s law, Eq. (𝜀 = − 𝐵 ), does not involve the resistance of the
𝑑𝑡
circuit in any way, so the induced emf does not change. But the current will be
𝜀
smaller, as given by the equation 𝐼 = . If the loop is made of a perfect insulator
𝑅
with infinite resistance, the induced current is zero. This situation is analogous to
an isolated battery whose terminals aren’t connected to anything: An emf is
present, but no current flows.
8
2. From the directions of 𝐴 and the magnetic field 𝐵 ⃗ , determine the sign of the
𝑑Φ𝐵
magnetic flux Φ𝐵 and its rate of change . Figure 5 shows several examples.
𝑑𝑡
3. Determine the sign of the induced emf or current. If the flux is increasing, so
𝑑Φ𝐵
is positive, then the induced emf or current is negative; if the flux is
𝑑𝑡
𝑑Φ
decreasing, 𝐵 is negative and the induced emf or current is positive.
𝑑𝑡
4. Finally, determine the direction of the induced emf or current using your right
hand. Curl the fingers of your right hand around the vector 𝐴, with your right
thumb in the direction of 𝐴. If the induced emf or current in the circuit is
positive, it is in the same direction as your curled fingers; if the induced emf or
current is negative, it is in the opposite direction.
If the loop in Fig. 4 is a conductor, an induced current results from this emf;
this current is also clockwise, as Fig. 4 shows. This induced current produces an
additional magnetic field through the loop, and the right-hand rule shows that this
field is opposite in direction to the increasing field produced by the electromagnet.
This is an example of a general rule called Lenz’s law, which says that any
induction effect tends to oppose the change that caused it; in this case the change
is the increase in the flux of the electromagnet’s field through the loop.
Figure 5. The magnetic flux is becoming (a) more positive, (b) less positive, (c) more negative, and (d) less
negative. Therefore Φ𝐵 is increasing in (a) and (d) and decreasing in (b) and (c). In (a) and (d) the emfs are
negative (they are opposite to the direction of the curled fingers of your right hand when your right thumb
points along 𝐴). In (b) and (c) the emfs are positive (in the same direction as the curled fingers).
Lenz’s Law
The minus sign in Faraday’s law of induction is very important. The minus
means that the EMF creates a current I and magnetic field B that oppose the
change in flux ΔΦ this is known as Lenz’ law. The direction (given by the minus
9
sign) of the EMF is so important that it is called Lenz’ law after the Russian
Heinrich Lenz (1804–1865), who, like Faraday and Henry, independently
investigated aspects of induction. Faraday was aware of the direction, but Lenz
stated it, so he is credited for its discovery.
Lenz’s Law: (a) When this bar magnet is thrust into the coil, the strength of
the magnetic field increases in the coil. The current induced in the coil creates
another field, in the opposite direction of the bar magnets to oppose the increase.
This is one aspect of Lenz’s law – induction opposes any change in flux. (b) and (c)
are two other situations. Verify for yourself that the direction of the induced B coil
shown indeed opposes the change in flux and that the current direction shown is
consistent with the right-hand rule.
Energy Conservation
Lenz’ law is a manifestation of the conservation of energy. The induced EMF
produces a current that opposes the change in flux, because a change in flux
means a change in energy. Energy can enter or leave, but not instantaneously.
Lenz’ law is a consequence. As the change begins, the law says induction opposes
and, thus, slows the change. In fact, if the induced EMF were in the same direction
as the change in flux, there would be a positive feedback that would give us free
energy from no apparent source—conservation of energy would be violated.
With so much things to consider in this lesson, here are the important things
to consider, or in other words, Electromagnetic Induction is the process of using
magnetic fields to produce voltage, and in a closed circuit, a current.
So how much voltage (emf) can be induced into the coil using just
magnetism? Well, this is determined by the following 3 different factors.
1) Increasing the number of turns of wire in the coil – By increasing the amount
of individual conductors cutting through the magnetic field, the amount of
induced emf produced will be the sum of all the individual loops of the coil,
so if there are 20 turns in the coil there will be 20 times more induced emf
than in one piece of wire.
2) Increasing the speed of the relative motion between the coil and the magnet
– If the same coil of wire passed through the same magnetic field but its
10
speed or velocity is increased, the wire will cut the lines of flux at a faster
rate so more induced emf would be produced.
3) Increasing the strength of the magnetic field – If the same coil of wire is
moved at the same speed through a stronger magnetic field, there will be
more emf produced because there are more lines of force to cut.
SOLUTION
IDENTIFY and SET UP: Our target variable is the emf induced by a varying
magnetic flux through the coil. The flux varies because the magnetic field decreases
in amplitude. We choose the area vector 𝐴 to be in the direction shown in Fig. 7.
With this choice, the geometry is similar to that of Fig. 5b. That figure will help us
determine the direction of the induced emf.
EXECUTE: The magnetic field is uniform over the loop, so we can calculate
the flux using Eq. (Φ𝐵 = 𝐵𝐴 cos 𝜃) where 𝜃 = 30°. In this expression, the only
𝑑Φ 𝑑𝐵
quantity that changes with time is the magnitude B of the field, so 𝐵 = ( ) 𝐴 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃.
𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑡
11
*CAUTION: Remember how 𝜃 is defined
You may have been tempted to say that 𝜃 = 60° in this problem. If so,
⃗ , not the angle between 𝐵
remember that 𝜃 is the angle between 𝐴 and 𝐵 ⃗ and the
plane of the loop.
From the faraday’s law equation, the induced emf in the coil of N=500 turns is
𝑑Φ𝐵 𝑑B
𝜀 = −𝑁 =𝑁 𝐴 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃
𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑡
𝑇
= 500(−0.200 )𝜋(0.0400 𝑚)2 (cos 30°) = 𝟎. 𝟒𝟑𝟓 𝑽
𝑠
The positive answer means that when you point your right thumb in the
direction of the area vector 𝐴 (30° below the magnetic field in Fig. 7), the positive
direction for 𝜀 is in the direction of the curled fingers of your right hand. If you
viewed the coil from the left in Fig.7 and looked in the direction of 𝐴 the emf would
be clockwise.
EVALUATE: If the ends of the wire are connected, the direction of current in
the coil is in the same direction as the emf—that is, clockwise as seen from the left
side of the coil. A clockwise current increases the magnetic flux through the coil,
and therefore tends to oppose the decrease in total flux. This is an example of
Lenz’s law.
Faraday’s law states that induced emf is the negative rate of change of
magnetic flux. If magnetic flux changes over time, then there has to be an induced
emf. And if a closed conducting path is available, then charges can move and
produce a current. We sometimes refer to this current as an induced current
because of how it results from an induced emf.
The question now is: what is making the charges move? On electrostatics,
we learned that a charge placed in an electric field is pushed or pulled by that field.
So, if the charge is free to move along a wire, then we have a current.
12
Figure 8. This conducting loop is placed in a
changing magnetic field in space
This gives us a new way of thinking about Faraday’s law. The changing
magnetic field creates an electric field on the loop, in the same direction as the
current. Imagine that you are walking around the loop. At every step you take (no
matter how small0, you will see an electric field directed tangent to the loop, and
this electric field exerts an electric force on the charges all along the loop (see Fig.
9).
The induced electric field is different from the electric field we learned before.
All the electric fields that are discussed before Faraday’s law are electrostatic fields.
This induced electric field is a non-electrostatic field. The equation
𝐹
𝐸=
𝑞
is still true, but there are some differences.
13
𝑑Φ𝐵
the sum over the entire loop, you do not get zero. You get which is an important
𝑑𝑡
result. This is the emf.
So, this is what Faraday’s law now look like: the left side is the emf, but
more importantly, it is the summation of all the 𝐸 ∙ 𝑑𝑙′𝑠 around a closed loop:
𝑑Φ𝐵
∮ 𝐸⃗ ∙ ⃗⃗⃗
𝑑𝑙 = −
𝑑𝑡
And because this equation is not equal to zero, we know that an induced
electric field is nonconservative, unlike an electrostatic field. One more thing needs
to be pointed out about the induced electric field: the conducting loop does not
even have to be in the given space for the field to exist. The only thing it requires
to exist is varying magnetic field. The electric field will exist with or without free
electrons moving around in a loop because the field is a property of the space, not
a property of the charges.
𝜀 = ∮ 𝐸⃗ ∙ ⃗⃗⃗
𝑑𝑙,
where ∮ represents the line integral around the circuit. Faraday’s law can be
written in terms of the induced electric field as
𝑑Φ𝐵
∮ 𝐸⃗ ∙ ⃗⃗⃗
𝑑𝑙 = −
𝑑𝑡
⃗⃗⃗ ≠ 0
∮ 𝐸⃗ ∙ 𝑑𝑙 𝐼𝑛𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑒𝑑 𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐 𝐹𝑖𝑒𝑙𝑑
∮ 𝐸⃗ ∙ ⃗⃗⃗
𝑑𝑙 = 0 𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑐 𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐 𝐹𝑖𝑒𝑙𝑑𝑠
Our results can be summarized by combining these equations:
𝑑Φ𝑚
⃗⃗⃗ = −
𝜀 = ∮ 𝐸⃗ ∙ 𝑑𝑙

(a) The angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the surface of the

(see Fig. 3).
Deepen
Direction: Read and analyze the following problems . Answer them properly.
Problem 1
A uniform magnetic field is directed at
an angle of 30° with the plane of a
circular coil of radius 2 cm and 2000
turns. If the magnetic field changes at
a rate of 4T per second, calculate the
induced emf.
15
Approach
We are given the angle 30°, but note that this is the angle of B with respect to the
plane of the coil. Thus, the angle with respect to the area vector is 60°.
We also know the radius of the coil. Thus, we can calculate its area:
𝐴 = 𝜋𝑟 2 = 𝜋(0.02𝑚)2 = 1.26𝑥10−3 𝑚2
The emf is induced because the flux is changing. In this case, the reason for the
change in flux is the increasing magnetic field (we know this because the rate of
𝑑𝐵 𝑇
change given is positive) at = 4 . We can write this into the law of induction.
𝑑𝑡 𝑠
𝑑Φ𝐵 𝑁
𝜀 = −𝑁 = − 𝑑(𝐵𝐴𝑐𝑜𝑠60°)
𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑡
The factor A cos 60° is not part of the change so we can take it out of the
parentheses.
𝑑𝐵
𝜀 = −𝑁𝐴𝑐𝑜𝑠60°
𝑑𝑡
At this point, we are ready to substitute the given.
Problem 2
Calculate the magnitude of the induced emf when the magnet is thrust into the
coil, given the following information: the single loop coil has a radius of 6.00 cm
and the average value of B cos θ (this is given, since the bar magnet’s field is
complex) increases from 0.0500 T to 0.250 T in 0.100s.
Strategy
To find the magnitude of emf, we use Faraday’s law of induction as stated by
ΔΦ𝐵
𝜀 = −𝑁
Δ𝑡
We are given that N=1 and ∆t=0.100s, but we must determine the change in flux
ΔΦ before we can find emf. Since the area of the loop is fixed, we see that
ΔΦ𝐵 = Δ(𝐵𝐴𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃) = 𝐴 Δ(𝐵 cos 𝜃).
Now Δ(𝐵 cos 𝜃) = 0.200 𝑇, since it was given that 𝐵 cos 𝜃 changes from 0.500 to 0.250
T. The area of the loop is 𝐴 = 𝜋𝑟 2 = 𝜋(0.060𝑚)2 = 1.13𝑥10−2 𝑚2 . Thus,
ΔΦ = (1.13𝑥10−2 𝑚2 )(0.200 𝑇)
