Lenzs Law
Flux Induction What is magnetic induction? Derive magnetic induction Lenzs Law Electromagnetic Waves

Use the formula to gure out the magnitude of the induced EMF.

Use Lenzs Law to gure out the direction around the loop. When the magnetic ux changes, current will attempt to ow around the loop so as to create an additional magnetic eld that counteracts this change in ux.
