    The document discusses Faraday's Law and its application in metal detectors. Metal detectors use coils of wire through which a pulsing current is applied, creating an electromagnetic field. When metal passes through this field, eddy currents are induced in the metal which generate their own magnetic field. This opposing magnetic field induces a current change in the coil that signals the presence of metal. Specifically, as the coil moves near a metal object's magnetic field per Faraday's Law, the coil's electromotive force increases, allowing the metal detector to sense the metal.

    ASSIMILATION. Real life application of Faraday’s Law

    Metal Detector

    A metal detector is an equipment used in finding any kind of metal and its sensors are

    made of large coils of wire. Through the coils, an electromagnetic force is induced when the

    pulsing current is applied. And whenever it detects any kind of metal, the electromagnetic field

    of the coil will move across the metal which results the inducing of its electric current (eddy

    current). The eddy currents then induce their own magnetic field, which generates an opposite

    current in the coil, which induces a signal indicating the presence of metal.

    For instance, in Faraday’s law of induction, the change of the magnetic environment of

    the coil in the metal detector will affect its voltage or electromotive force. Therefore, if a coil is

    near towards the magnetic field of the metal the emf will increase causing the metal detector

    detects it.
