Electromagnetic Induction was first discovered way back in the 1830’s by Michael Faraday. Faraday noticed that when
he moved a permanent magnet in and out of a coil or a single loop of wire it induced an emf, in other words a Voltage, and
therefore a current was produced. So, what Michael Faraday discovered was a way of producing an electrical current in a
circuit by using only the force of a magnetic field and not batteries. This then led to a very important law linking electricity
with magnetism, Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction.
So how does this work?
When the magnet shown below is moved “towards” the coil, the pointer or needle
of the Galvanometer, which is basically a very sensitive center zeroed moving-coil
ammeter, will deflect away from its center position in one direction only. When the
magnet stops moving and is held stationary with regards to the coil the needle of
the galvanometer returns back to zero as there is no physical movement of the
magnetic field.
Likewise, when the magnet is moved “away” from the coil in the other direction,
the needle of the galvanometer deflects in the opposite direction with regards to
the first indicating a change in polarity. Then by moving the magnet back and forth
towards the coil the needle of the galvanometer will deflect left or right, positive or
negative, relative to the directional motion of the magnet.
Faraday’s law of induction states that an electromotive force is induced by a change in the magnetic flux. Any
change in the magnetic environment of a coil of wire will cause a voltage (emf) to be "induced" in the coil. No matter how
the change is produced, the voltage will be generated. The change could be produced by changing the magnetic field
strength, moving a magnet toward or away from the coil, moving the coil into or out of the magnetic field, rotating the coil
relative to the magnet, etc.
Induced EMF
The apparatus used by Faraday to demonstrate that magnetic fields can create currents is illustrated in the following
figure. When the switch is closed, a magnetic field is produced in the coil on the top part of the iron ring and transmitted (or
guided) to the coil on the bottom part of the ring. The
galvanometer is used to detect any current induced in a
separate coil on the bottom.
It was found that each time the switch is closed, the
galvanometer detects a current in one direction in the coil
on the bottom. Each time the switch is opened, the
galvanometer detects a current in the opposite direction.
Interestingly, if the switch remains closed or open for any
length of time, there is no current through the galvanometer.
Closing and opening the switch induces the current. It is the
change in magnetic field that creates the current. More
basic than the current that flows is the electromotive force

(EMF) that causes it. The current is a result of an EMF induced by a changing magnetic field, whether or not there is a path
for current to flow.
So how much voltage (emf) can be induced into the coil using just magnetism. Well, this is determined by the following
3 different factors.
1). Increasing the number of turns of wire in the coil – By increasing the amount of individual conductors cutting through
the magnetic field, the amount of induced emf produced will be the sum of all the individual loops of the coil, so if there are
20 turns in the coil there will be 20 times more induced emf than in one piece of wire.
2). Increasing the speed of the relative motion between the coil and the magnet – If the same coil of wire passed through
the same magnetic field but its speed or velocity is increased, the wire will cut the lines of flux at a faster rate so more induced
emf would be produced.
3). Increasing the strength of the magnetic field – If the same coil of wire is moved at the same speed through a stronger
magnetic field, there will be more emf produced because there are more lines of force to cut.

3. The direction of the induced emf depends on the speed of the magnet.

A. Assimilation (Time Frame: 40 minutes)
Electromagnetic induction is put into practical use in the construction of electrical generators which use mechanical
power to move a magnetic field past coils of wire to generate voltage. However, this is by no means the only practical use
for this principle.

Figure 1: Movement of a magnet relative to a coil produces emfs as shown (a–d). The same emfs are
produced if the coil is moved relative to the magnet. This short-lived emf is only present during the
motion. The greater the speed, the greater the magnitude of the emf, and the emf is zero when
there is no motion, as shown in (e).
The magnetic field has two main characteristics. The first one is the magnitude B of the field and is measured in teslas (symbol
T), or newtons per meter per ampere. The second - magnetic flux Φ - is defined as the measure of the strength of a magnetic
field passing through a given area and is measured in webers (symbol Wb).
Magnitude and flux are interdependent - you can use the equation below to easily switch between them. A stands for the
cross-sectional area of the coil, in which the EMF is induced.
Φ=B*A
where ϕ=B⋅A and B is the strength of the magnetic field. N is the number of
circuit loops. A magnetic field is measured in units of teslas (T). The minus sign
indicates direction and that the induced emf tends to oppose the change in
the magnetic flux. The minus sign can be ignored when calculating
magnitudes.
IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES
How do we calculate for the electromotive force?
Usually, you won't immediately know what magnetic flux is in the coil. But don't worry, though - our electromagnetic
induction calculator can find it, too! Just follow the steps below to calculate the induced voltage.
Decide on the cross-sectional area and the number of turns in the loop. For example, you can use a circular coil with a
cross-section of 30 cm² and with ten turns.
Find out what is the magnitude of the magnetic field. For instance, we can assume a field of 0.4 teslas.
Calculate the change in magnetic flux as the product of magnetic field and the cross-sectional area:
dΦ = B * A
Now, determine how long it takes the magnetic field to change by 0.4 T. We can assume that it took 8 seconds.
EMF = - N * dΦ / dt
The induced voltage is equal to 0.0015 V. The minus sign indicates that the direction of the current opposes the direction
of the magnetic flux.
