Electromagnetic Induction damping mechanisms on sensitive

chemical balances.[3]

Objectives:
 To demonstrate electromagnetic
induction by producing current via
changing magnetic field
 To investigate the effect of
number of coils and magnetic field
strength to the current produced
 To appreciate the different
applications of electromagnetic
induction in our daily lives
Principle:
Electromagnetic Induction
Electromagnetic induction is the
production of an electromotive force
(EMF) being created as a result of
relative motion between a magnetic field
and a conductor. It was discovered in
1831 by Michael Faraday and lays the
foundation for electrical generation in
power plants, electric motors, and AC
circuitry which powers the electrical grid,
transformers, and many more
phenomena. [5]

Some 12 years after the The equation that mathematically

discovery that an electric current
generates a magnetic field, English
scientist Michael Faraday (1791–1862)
and American scientist Joseph Henry
(1797– 1878) independently
demonstrated that magnetic fields can
produce currents. The basic process of
generating currents with magnetic fields
is called induction; this process is also
called magnetic induction to distinguish
it from charging by induction, which
uses the electrostatic Coulomb force. [3]
describes electromagnetic induction is
Faraday's Law, which states that any
change in the magnetic environment of
a coiled wire will cause a voltage (EMF)
to be induced. Faraday found many
ways for this to happen such as
changing the magnetic field strength,
moving a magnet through a coil of wire,
and moving the coil through a magnetic
field, just to name a few. The voltage
(EMF) generated in a coil of wire can be
described by the following equation:

Today, currents induced by

magnetic fields are essential to our
technological society. The electric
generator—found in everything from
automobiles to bicycles to nuclear
power plants—uses magnetism to
generate electric current. Other devices
that use magnetism to induce currents
include pickup coils in electric guitars,
transformers of every size, certain
microphones, airport security gates, and

 The ways that Faraday found to
change this flux as stated above can all
be represented in this equation. The
reason this equation is negative is
because of Lenz's law, which requires
any change in magnetic flux to be
reproduced in equal strength but
opposite direction by the wire. [5]
Faraday's law is important for
many electromagnetic applications in
the world, including cars. The ignition
system in a car's internal combustion
engine takes only 12 volts from the
battery and ramps that up to 40000
volts! [5]
Faraday’s Law of
Electromagnetic Induction [1]
According to the Faraday's Law
of Electromagnetic Induction, if a
conductor is placed in a varying
magnetic field, then emf
(electromotive force) is induced in
the conductor. If the conductor
circuit is closed, then current is
induced which is called as induced
current. This induced emf is equal to
the rate of change of flux linkage
with the coil.
Lenz’s Law Definition [1]
Lenz's law states that the
direction of the induced current
produced in this phenomenon is
such that the magnetic field
produced by this induced current
opposes the magnetic field that
produced it.
