4. Electromagnetic
Induction
• Electromagnetic induction describes the
phenomenon in which electricity is
produced in a conductor by a changing
magnetic field.
• It’s the relative movement of the magnetic
flux and the coil that causes an e.m.f. and
thus current to be induced in the coil. This
is electromagnetic induction
NDG TA
6. Electromagnetic
Induction
• (a) When the magnet is moved at constant
speed towards the coil, a deflection is noted on
the galvanometer showing that a current has
been produced in the coil
• (b) When the magnet is moved at the same
speed as in (a) but away from the coil, the same
deflection is noted but is in the opposite direction
• (c) When the magnet is held stationary, even
within the coil, no deflection is recorded
NDG TA
7. Electromagnetic
Induction
• (d) When the coil is moved at the same speed
as in (a) and the magnet held stationary the
same galvanometer deflection is noted.
• (e) When the relative speed is, say, doubled the
galvanometer deflection is doubled.
• (f) When a stronger magnet is used, a greater
galvanometer deflection is noted
• (g) When the number of turns of wire of the coil
is increased, a greater galvanometer deflection
is noted.

8. The Laws of
Electromagnetic Induction
• Faraday’s Laws of electromagnetic
induction state…
– An induced e.m.f. is set up whenever the
magnetic field linking that circuit changes
– The magnitude of the induced e.m.f. in any
circuit is proportional to the rate of change of
magnetic flux linking the circuit.
NDG TA
9. The Laws of
Electromagnetic Induction
• Lenz’s Law of electromagnetic induction
state…
– The direction of an induced e.m.f. is always
such that it tends to set up a current opposing
the motion or the change of flux responsible
for inducing that e.m.f..
• (An alternative method to Lenz’s Law of
determining relative directions is given by
Fleming’s Right-hand Rule – often called
the geneRator rule)
NDG TA
10. Fleming’s Right-Hand
Rule
• Let the thumb, first finger and second finger of the right hand be
extended such that they are all at right angles to each other.
• If the first finger points in the direction of the magnetic field and the
thumb points in the direction of motion of the conductor relative to
the magnetic field, then the second finger will point in the direction of
the induced e.m.f.

11. Electrical
Generators
• Generators used to produce electrical
power require some form of mechanical
energy.
• The mechanical energy is used to move
electrical conductors through the magnetic
field of the generator

Generators
NDG TA
• The turning of a coil in a magnetic field produces
motional emfs in both sides of the coil which
add. Since the component of the velocity
perpendicular to the magnetic field changes
sinusoidally with the rotation, the generated
voltage is sinusoidal or AC. This process can be
described in terms of Faraday's law when you
see that the rotation of the coil continually
changes the magnetic flux through the coil and
therefore generates a voltage.
