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
 lOMoARcPSD|36303170

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.

Magnetic Field Inside a Solenoid Electromagnetic Induction

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
 lOMoARcPSD|36303170

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.

THEORY
The magnetic flux (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.
 lOMoARcPSD|36303170

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

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.

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
 lOMoARcPSD|36303170

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
 lOMoARcPSD|36303170

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,

And the EMF of the wire loop is

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

 lOMoARcPSD|36303170

where 9 is the curl operator and again E(rt) is the electric field
and B(rt) 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 “prove” 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.
 lOMoARcPSD|36303170

CONCLUSION
Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, first observed
and published by Michael Faraday in the mid-nineteenth
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 the shining of the
sun to electricity and power in our homes.

We can all appreciate the profound impact Faraday’s law

has on us.
