Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Electromagnetic Induction and Faraday's Law

  • An emf is induced in a coil when the magnetic flux through it changes with time.
  • The magnitude of induced emf is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux.
  • This phenomenon was discovered by Michael Faraday through experiments involving coils and magnets.
2

2. Lenz's Law and Direction of Induced EMF

  • Lenz's law gives the direction of the induced emf and current.
  • The induced current flows in such a direction that it opposes the change causing it.
  • This opposition is a result of energy conservation — work must be done to induce current.
3

3. Motional Electromotive Force

  • When a conductor moves in a magnetic field, emf is induced across its ends.
  • This is called motional emf and occurs even without a coil.
  • Motional emf arises due to Lorentz force on free electrons in the conductor.
4

4. Eddy Currents and Their Applications

  • Eddy currents are loops of induced current formed in bulk metal when exposed to changing magnetic fields.
  • They flow in closed paths perpendicular to the magnetic field.
  • Direction follows Lenz’s law — they oppose the change causing them.
