Faraday's Law

Cards (8)

  • Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, also known as Faraday’s law, is the basic law of electromagnetism which helps us predict how a magnetic field would interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force (EMF). This phenomenon is known as electromagnetic induction.
  • Michael Faraday proposed the laws of electromagnetic induction in the year 1831.
  • He is known as the “Father of Electricity” along with Nikola Tesla
  • Faraday’s law or the law of electromagnetic induction is the observation or results of the experiments conducted by Faraday.
  • The first law of Faraday’s Electromagnetic Induction explains that when a wire is kept in a field that experiences a constant change in its magnetic field, then an electromagnetic field is developed.
  • The law explains that the emf induced in a conductor is equivalent to the rate at which the flux is linked to the circuit changes.
  • The magnetic flux (often denoted Φ or ΦB)
  • Where ε is the electromotive force (V) , Φ is the magnetic flux (T•m2/Wb), and N is the number of turns
