Michael Faraday summed up conclusions of his experiments regarding electro-magnetic induction into two laws, known as Faraday's laws of electro-magnetic induction
First Law
Whenever a conductor cuts across the magnetic field, an emf is induced in the conductor
First Law
Whenever the magneticflux linking with any circuit (or coil) changes, an emf is induced in the circuit
Second Law
The magnitude of induced emf in a coil is directly proportional to the rate of change of flux linkages
When flux linking with a conductor (or coil) changes, an emf is induced in it
This change in flux linkages can be obtained in the following two ways:
Self-inductance
The property of a coil due to which it opposes the change of current flowing through itself
Mutual-inductance
The property of one coil due to which it opposes the change of current in the other (neighboring) coil
Series magnetic circuit
A magnetic circuit that has a number of parts of different dimensions and materials carrying the same magnetic field
Inductances in series (additivefields)
Inductance of each coil is increased by M
Inductances in series (subtractivefields)
Inductance of each coil is decreased by M
Inductances in parallel (samedirectionfields)
Inductances add
Inductances in parallel (opposite direction fields)
