Electromagnetic Induction
Overview:
After Oersted discovery, where the magnetic field ban be produced by theeffect of electric current. Faraday discovered that electric current can be produced as aresult of breakthrough the magnetic field by a conductor, and that kind of electricitycalled electromagnetic induction.
Faradays Experiments:
•
In the figure shown thegalvanometer indicates electriccurrent in the coil when themagnet pushed inside the coil.
•
The galvanometer indicates that the current pass in the opposite directionwhen the magnet is pulled from the coil.
•
The galvanometer indicates that there is no current if the magnet isincasing of rest even inside the coil.
Electromagnetic induction:
•
It is a phenomenon in which an induced electromotive force and also aninduced current are generated in the coil on plunging a magnet into or withdrawing a magnet out of a coil.
•
The presence of a soft iron core inside a coil concentrates the lines of magnetic flux that link with the coil. This in turn increases the inducedelectromotive force and also the induced current.
Faraday’s law:
•
An electromotive force and an electric current are induced in a coil, whenthere is change of a magnetic field close to that coil.
