4.6.1 Electro Magnetic Induction

Definition: Electromagnetic induction (or sometimes just induction) is a process where a
______________placed in a _________________________ (or a conductor moving through a
stationary magnetic field) causes the production of a voltage across the conductor. This process
of ______________________, in turn, causes an ____________________ - it is said
to induce the current.
 EMF is induced when coil cuts
through magnetic field .

 Emf induced when magnetic field

cuts through coil.
