ABSTRACT
Figure 9.1(c) shows the magnetic field associated with the magnet. As the magnet is moved towards the coil, the magnetic flux of the magnet moves across, or cuts, the coil. It is 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 effect is known as electromagnetic induction. The laws of electromagnetic induction stated in Section 9.2 evolved from experiments such as those described above.
