What causes electromagnetic induction?

Relative motion between a conductor and a magnetic field

Faraday's Law definition

Induced emf = rate of change of magnetic flux linkage

Lenz's Law definition

Induced current opposes the change in magnetic flux

Faraday's Law equation

ε=NΔΦΔt\varepsilon = N \frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}

emf for conductor moving perpendicular to B-field

ε=Blv\varepsilon = Blv

NN in Faraday's equation

Number of turns in the coil

Magnet falling through coil vs free fall

Falls slower due to opposing forces from induced currents

What Lenz's Law reflects

Conservation of energy

Flux linkage for rotating coil

NΦ=BANcos⁡(ωt)N\Phi = BAN\cos(\omega t)

Induced emf for rotating coil

ε=BANωsin⁡(ωt)\varepsilon = BAN\omega\sin(\omega t)
