Answer

Faraday's Law of Induction states that the magnitude of the electromotive force (EMF) induced in a circuit is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit.

Mathematically, it is expressed as:

E=−NdΦBdt\mathcal{E} = -N \frac{d\Phi_B}{dt}

Where:

  • E\mathcal{E} is the induced electromotive force (EMF) in volts (V).
  • NN is the number of turns in the coil.
  • dΦBdt\frac{d\Phi_B}{dt} is the rate of change of magnetic flux (ΦB\Phi_B) with respect to time (t). Magnetic flux is measured in Webers (Wb).
  • The negative sign indicates the direction of the induced EMF, which is given by Lenz's Law: the induced current will flow in a direction that opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it.

This law is fundamental to the operation of generators, transformers, and many other electrical devices.
