Abstract: In this experiment, the experimenter determined the effects of the speed of motion in the strength of the electric

current. Also, the number of loops in the wire affects the strength of the current; that is, a larger number of loops means stronger current.

Introduction: Almost every modern device or machine, from a computer to a washing machine to a power drill, has electric circuits as its heart. Electromotive force (emf) is required for a current to flow in a circuit and we always took the source of emf to be a battery. Electromagnetic Induction occurs when the magnetic flux through a circuit changes, an emf and a current are induced in the circuit. In a powergenerating station, magnets move relative to coils of wire to produce a changing magnetic flux in the coils and hence an emf. Electromagnetic induction is one of the foundations of our technological society. Theory: Faradays Law of Induction: The induced emf in a closed loop equals the negative of the time rate of change of the magnetic flux through the loop. Lenzs Law: The direction of any magnetic induction effect is such as to oppose the cause of the effect.

Where N is the number of turns of wire and B is the magnetic flux in webers through a single loop. Methodology:

Conclusions: The EMF generated by Faraday's law of induction due to relative movement of a circuit and a magnetic field is the phenomenon underlyingelectrical generators. When a permanent magnet is moved relative to a conductor, or vice versa, an electromotive force is created. If the wire is connected through an electrical load, current will flow, and thus electrical energy is generated, converting the mechanical energy of motion to electrical energy.
