ABSTRACT

At the end of this chapter you should be able to:

• understand how an e.m.f. may be induced in a conductor • state Faraday’s laws of electromagnetic induction • state Lenz’s law • use Fleming’s right-hand rule for relative directions • appreciate that the induced e.m.f., E=Blv or E=Blv sinθ • calculate induced e.m.f. given B , l, v and θ and determine relative directions • understand and perform calculations on rotation of a loop in a magnetic field • define inductance L and state its unit • define mutual inductance • appreciate that e.m.f.
