Induced emf and Faraday’s “Law”
Magnetic Induction
3
It is observed experimentally that changes in magnetic flux
induce an emf in a conductor.
5
Note that “change” may or may not not require observable (to
you) motion.
A magnet may move through a loop of wire,
wire or a
loop of wire may be moved through a magnetic field
(as suggested in the previous slide). These involve
observable motion.

We can quantify the induced emf described qualitatively in the
last few slides by using magnetic flux.

Ways to induce an emf:
change B

Ways to induce an emf (continued):
change the orientation of the loop in the field

Example: a uniform (but time-varying) magnetic field passes through a
circular coil whose normal is parallel to the magnetic field. The coil’s area is
10-2 m2 and it has a resistance of 1 m. B varies with time as shown in the
graph. Plot the current in the coil as a function of time.

Lenz’s law—An induced emf always gives rise to a current
whose magnetic field opposes the change in flux.*

If Lenz’s law were not true—if there were a + sign in
Faraday’s law—then a changing magnetic field would produce
a current, which would further increase the magnetic field,
further increasing the current, making the magnetic field still
bigger…
*Think of the current resulting from the induced emf as “trying” to maintain the status quo—
to prevent change. 17
…violating conservation of energy and ripping apart the very
fabric of the universe…

situation shown?

Now that you are experts on the application of Lenz’s “Law”,
remember this:
You can use Faraday’s “Law” to calculate the magnitude of the emf (or
whatever the problem wants. Then use Lenz’s “Law” to figure out the
direction of the induced current (or the direction of whatever the problem
wants). 21
