State and explain Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.

Answer»

Solution :On the basis of his EXPERIMENTAL study, Faraday gave a LAW of electromagnetic induction, which has following two parts:
(i) Whenever the amount of magnetic flux linked with a circuit (or a coil) changes (either increases or DECREASES), an emf is induced in the circuit. The induced emf lasts so long as the change in magnetic flux CONTINUES.
It indicates that the real cause of electromagnetic induction is the change in magnetic flux linked with a circuit with time.
(ii) The magnitude of induced emf in a circuit is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux linked with the circuit. Mathematically,
Induced emf `varepsilon = - (dphi_(B))/dt.`
Here - ve sign has been incorporated because induced emf always opposes the change in magnetic flux. If `phi_(i)` be the initial VALUE of magnetic flux linked with a circuit and or be the final value of flux after time, then the average value of induced emf `varepsilon = -(phi_(f)-phi_(1))/t= (phi_(f)-phi_(i))/t`.
