Explain the meanings of words ‘Electromagnetic’ and ‘Induction’ in the term electromagnetic induction. List three factors on which the value of induced current produced in a circuit depends. Name and state the rule used to determine the direction of induced current. State one practical application of this phenomenon in everyday life.

Answer»

The process by which a changing magnetic field in a conductor induces a current in another conductor is called electromagnetic induction.

By moving a magnet towards or away from a coil. We take a coil with several turns and it is connected to a sensitive galvanometer. When a bar magnet is moved towards the coil, we see a deflection in the galvanometer. This deflection dies down after some time. The deflection is because of the induced current.

Hence, the value of induced current produced in a circuit depends on the following factors:

  1. number of turns in given coil
  2. area of each turn in given coil
  3. rate of change of magnetic field

The rule used of determination of direction of induced current is Fleming's right-hand rule.
