INTRODUCTION
Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction:
It is a basic law of electromagnetism predicting how a
magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce
an electromotive force (EMF). It is the fundamental operating
principle of transformers, inductors and many types of
electrical motors and generators. Faraday explained
electromagnetic induction using the concept of lines of force.
These equations for electromagnetic induction are extremely
important since they provide a means to precisely describe
how, many natural physical phenomena in our universe and
behave.
The ability to quantitatively describe physical phenomena
not only allows us to gain a better understanding of our
universe, but it also makes possible a host of technological
innovations that define modern society. Understanding
Faraday's laws of electromagnetic induction can be
beneficial since so many aspects of our daily life function
because of the principles behind Faraday's law. From
natural phenomena, such as the light we receive from the
sun, to technologies that improve our quality of life, such as
electric power generation, Faraday's law has a great impact on
many aspects of our lives.

Faraday's law describes electromagnetic induction.

Whereby an electric field is induced, or generated by a
changing magnetic field.
In Faraday's first experimental demonstration of
electromagnetic induction, he wrapped two wires around
opposite sides of an iron ring or 'torus' to induce current.
Faraday's law is a single equation describing two different
phenomena: the motional EMF generated by a magnetic force
on a moving wire, and the transformer EMF generated by an
electric force due to a changing magnetic field,

Electromagnetic Induction
APPARATUS REQUIRED
• Insulated Copper wire
• An iron rod
• A strong magnet
• A light emitting Diode (LED)

OBJECTIVE
To determine the Faraday's law of electromagnetic
induction using a copper wire wound over an iron rod and a
strong magnet.
THEORY
The magnetic flux ( or B) through a surface is the
component of the magnetic field passing through the
surface. The SI unit of magnetic flux is weber (Wb), and the
COGS unit is maxwell.

REPRESENTATION OF MAGNETIC FLUX (O) IN A
S OLENOID
Magnetic flux is usually measured with a flux meter, which

contains measuring coils and electronics that evaluate the
change of voltage in the measuring coils to calculate the
magnetic flux.
If the magnetic field is constant, the magnetic flux passing
through a surface of vector area S is
B.S = BScose
Where is the magnitude of magnetic field having the unit of

Wb/m2 (T). is the area of the surface and is the angle
between magnetic field lines and the normal.
For a varying magnetic field, we first consider the
magnetic flux through a small amount of area where we may
consider the magnetic field to be constant.
= B.dS

From the magnetic vector potential and the
fundamental theorem of the curl, the magnetic field
may be defined as
where the line integral is taken over the boundary of the

surface, which is denoted as
LAW
The most widespread version of Faraday's law of
electromagnetic induction states that
"The induced electromotive force in any closed surface is

equal to the negative of the rate of change of magnetic
flux through the circuit. "
This version of Faraday's law strictly holds true only when

the closed circuit is a loop of infinitely thin wire, and is
invalid in other circumstances as discussed below. A
different version, the Maxwell-Faraday equation is valid in
all circumstances.
The magnetic flux ( ) changes due to the change in magnetic

field.

Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction states that
the wire loop acquires an EMF, defined as the energy
available per unit charge that travels once around the
wire loop.

Equivalently, it is the voltage that would be measured
by cutting the wire to create an open circuit. And
attaching a voltmeter to the leads.
According to Lorentz force law,

q(E+vxB)
And the EMF of the wire loop is
— F.dl q
+ vx B).dl
where (i) is the electric field
(ii) is the magnetic field
(iii) is the infinite length along the wire

And the line integral is evaluated along the wire.

The Maxwell-Faraday equation states that a time varying
magnetic field is always accompanied by spatially
varying, non-conservative electric field and vice versa.
The Maxwell-Faraday equation is
where V is the curl operatoe and again E(r, t) is the electric field
and B(r,t) is the magnetic field. These fields can generally be
functions of position r and time t.
The four Maxwell's equations (including the Maxwell-Faraday
equation), along with the Lorentz force law are a sufficient
foundation to derive everything in classical electromagnetism.
Therefore, it is possible to itprove" Faraday’s law starting with these

equations. Faraday’s law could be taken as the starting point and
used to prove the Maxwell-Faraday equation and/or other laws.

CONCLUSION
Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, first

observed and published by Michael Faraday in the
midnineteenth century, describes a very important
electromagnetic concept. Although its mathematical
representations are cryptic, the essence of Faraday's
law is not hard to grasp. It relates an induced electric
potential or voltage to a dynamic magnetic field. This
concept has many far reaching ramifications that touch
our lives in many ways: from shining of the sun to
electricity and power in our homes. We can all
appreciate the profound impact Faraday's law has on
us.
