Introduction

Michael Faraday is widely acknowledged as the pioneer behind the discovery of

electromagnetic induction in 1831. His groundbreaking work laid the foundation for
understanding how a changing magnetic field can induce an electromotive force (emf)
within a conductor. James Clerk Maxwell later provided the mathematical framework for
this phenomenon, encapsulating it in what is now known as Faraday's law of induction.
Maxwell's contributions extended Faraday's empirical observations into a rigorous
mathematical form, leading to the formulation of the Maxwell–Faraday equation. This
equation is a fundamental component of Maxwell's set of four equations that describe
classical electromagnetism. Heinrich Lenz further contributed to this field in 1834 by
formulating Lenz's law, which describes the direction of the induced emf and current,
emphasizing that the induced current will always oppose the change in magnetic flux that
caused it.
Electromagnetic induction has become a
cornerstone of modern electrical
engineering and technology, finding
applications in a variety of devices and
components. These include inductors and
transformers, which are essential for
managing electrical energy in circuits, as
well as electric motors and generators,
which convert electrical energy into
mechanical energy and vice versa.
The phenomenon of electromagnetic
induction was also discovered independently by Joseph Henry in 1832, highlighting its
significance and the parallel advancements in the scientific community at that time.
Faraday's initial experiments on August 29, 1831, demonstrated the principles of
electromagnetic induction. He ingeniously wrapped two wires around opposite sides of
an iron ring, resembling what we now recognize as a toroidal transformer. Faraday
hypothesized that a current flowing through one wire
would induce a similar current in the opposite wire
through the iron ring. By connecting one wire to a
galvanometer and the other to a battery, he observed a
transient current, which he termed a "wave of
electricity," whenever he connected or disconnected the
battery. This was due to the change in magnetic flux
within the iron ring.
Over the following months, Faraday conducted
numerous experiments that further elucidated the nature
of electromagnetic induction. He discovered that
moving a bar magnet through a coil of wire produced
transient currents, and rotating a copper disk near a bar
magnet generated a steady direct current (DC), a setup
now known as Faraday's disk.
Despite Faraday's empirical success, his conceptual
explanation using "lines of force" faced skepticism because it lacked a solid mathematical
foundation. It was James Clerk Maxwell who later provided this rigorous mathematical
treatment, thereby validating Faraday's qualitative insights. Maxwell's differential
equation form of Faraday's law, refined by Oliver Heaviside, became a cornerstone of
electromagnetic theory, though it differed slightly from Faraday's original description and
did not encompass motional emf.
Heinrich Lenz's contributions in 1834 further enriched the understanding of
electromagnetic induction. Lenz's law specifically addressed the direction of the induced
emf and current, stating that the induced current in a circuit would always flow in such a
way as to oppose the change in magnetic flux that caused it. This principle not only
complemented Faraday's findings but also provided a clearer understanding of the
dynamics involved in electromagnetic induction.

Theories

Faraday's law of induction and Lenz's law

Faraday's law of induction makes use of the magnetic flux ΦB through a region of space
enclosed by a wire loop. The magnetic flux is defined by a surface integral:

where dA is an element of the surface Σ enclosed by the wire loop, Bis the magnetic
field. The dot product B·dA corresponds to an infinitesimal amount of magnetic flux. In
more visual terms, the magnetic flux through the wire loop is proportional to the number
of magnetic field lines that pass through the loop.
When the flux through the surface
changes, Faraday's law of induction
says that the wire loop acquires an
electromotive force (emf). The most
widespread version of this law states
that the induced electromotive force in
any closed circuit is equal to the rate
of change of the magnetic flux
enclosed by the circuit:

where E is the emf and ΦB is the magnetic flux. The direction of the electromotive force
is given by Lenz's law which states that an induced current will flow in the direction that
will oppose the change which produced it. This is due to the negative sign in the previous
equation. To increase the generated emf, a common approach is to exploit flux linkage by
creating a tightly wound coil of wire, composed of N identical turns, each with the same
magnetic flux going through them. The resulting emf is then N times that of one single
wire.

Generating an emf through a variation of the magnetic flux through the surface of a wire
loop can be achieved in several ways:
1. The magnetic field B changes (e.g. an alternating magnetic field, or moving a wire
loop towards a bar magnet where the B field is stronger),
2. The wire loop is deformed and the surface Σ changes,
3. The orientation of the surface dA changes (e.g. spinning a wire loop into a fixed
magnetic field),
4. Any combination of the above

Maxwell–Faraday equation

In general, the relation between the emf

E in a wire loop encircling a surface Σ, and the electric field E in the wire is given by

It is one of the four Maxwell's equations, and therefore plays a fundamental role in the
theory of classical electromagnetism.
Faraday's law and relativity

Faraday's law describes two different phenomena: the motional emf generated by a
magnetic force on a moving wire (see Lorentz force), and the transformer emf that is
generated by an electric force due to a changing magnetic field
(due to the differential form of the Maxwell–Faraday equation).
James Clerk Maxwell drew attention to the separate physical
phenomena in 1861. This is believed to be a unique example in
physics of where such a fundamental law is invoked to explain
two such different phenomena.
Albert Einstein noticed that the two situations both
corresponded to a relative movement between a conductor and
a magnet, and the outcome was unaffected by which one was
moving. This was one of the principal paths that led him to
develop special relativity

Applications
The principles of electromagnetic induction are applied in many devices and systems,
including:
● Current clamp
● Electric generators
● Electromagnetic forming
● Graphics tablet
● Hall effect sensors
● Induction cooking
● Induction motors
● Induction sealing
● Induction welding
● Inductive charging
● Inductors
● Magnetic flow meters
● Mechanically powered flashlight
● Near-field communications
● Pickups
● Rowland ring
● Transcranial magnetic stimulation
● Transformers

Electrical generator

The emf generated by Faraday's law of

induction due to relative movement of
a circuit and a magnetic field is the
phenomenon underlying electrical
generators. When a permanent magnet
is moved relative to a conductor, or
vice versa, an electromotive force is
created. If the wire is connected
through an electrical load, current will
flow, and thus electrical energy is
generated, converting the mechanical
energy of motion to electrical energy. For example, the drum generator is based upon the
figure to the bottom-right. A different implementation of this idea is the Faraday's disc,
shown in simplified form on the right.
In the Faraday's disc example, the disc is rotated in a uniform magnetic field
perpendicular to the disc, causing a current to flow in the radial arm due to the Lorentz
force. Mechanical work is necessary to drive this current. When the generated current
flows through the conducting rim, a magnetic field is generated by this current through

Ampère's circuital law.

The rim thus becomes an electromagnet that resists rotation of the disc (an example of
Lenz's law). On the far side of the figure, the return current flows from the rotating arm
through the far side of the rim to the bottom brush. The B-field induced by this return
current opposes the applied B-field, tending to decrease the flux through that side of the
circuit, opposing the increase in flux due to rotation. On the near side of the figure, the
return current flows from the rotating arm through the near side of the rim to the bottom
brush. The induced B-field increases the flux on this side of the circuit, opposing the
decrease in flux due to r the rotation. The energy required to keep the disc moving,
despite this reactive force, is exactly equal to the electrical energy generated (plus energy
wasted due to friction, Joule heating, and other inefficiencies). This behavior is common
to all generators converting mechanical energy to electrical energy.

Electrical transformer

When the electric current in a loop of wire changes, the changing current creates a
changing magnetic field. A second wire in reach of this magnetic field will experience
this change in magnetic field as a change in its coupled magnetic flux,

dΦB/dt

Therefore, an electromotive force is set up in the

second loop called the induced emf or
transformer emf. If the two ends of this loop are
connected through an electrical load, current will
flow. More detail written below
Current clamp

A current clamp is a type of transformer with a split core which can be spread apart and
clipped onto a wire or coil to either measure the current in it or, in reverse, to induce a
voltage. Unlike conventional instruments the clamp does not make electrical contact with
the conductor or require it to be disconnected during attachment of the clamp.

Magnetic flow meter

Faraday's law is used for measuring the flow of electrically conductive liquids and
slurries. Such instruments are called magnetic flow meters. The induced voltage ε
generated in the magnetic field B due to a conductive liquid moving at velocity v is thus
given by:
E=−Bℓv,
where ℓ is the distance between electrodes in the magnetic flow meter.

Electromagnetic Braking
In electromagnetic braking systems, eddy currents are induced in a conductive disc or rail
when it moves through a magnetic field. The interaction between the magnetic field and
the eddy currents generates a force that opposes the motion, effectively slowing down or
stopping the moving object. This principle is widely used in rail transport and certain
types of amusement park rides.
Mutual and Self-Induction

Mutual Induction

Mutual induction occurs when a change in current in one coil induces an EMF in a
nearby coil. This phenomenon is the basis for the operation of transformers and other
coupled inductor systems. The mutual inductance MMM between two coils is defined by
the ratio of the induced EMF in one coil to the rate of change of current in the other coil:

Self-Induction
Self-induction refers to the induction of an EMF in the same coil due to a change in its
own current. The self-inductance LLL of a coil is defined by the ratio of the induced
EMF to the rate of change of current in the coil.

Induction Heating
Induction heating uses eddy currents to heat conductive materials. An alternating
magnetic field induces eddy currents within the material, generating heat due to the
material's electrical resistance. This technique is used in applications ranging from
metalworking to cooking.

Eddy Currents
Electrical conductors moving through a steady magnetic field, or
stationary conductors within a changing magnetic field, will have
circular currents induced within them by induction, called eddy
currents. Eddy currents flow in closed loops in planes
perpendicular to the magnetic field. They have useful
applications in eddy current brakes and induction heating
systems. However eddy currents induced in the metal magnetic
cores of transformers and AC motors and generators are
undesirable since they dissipate energy (called core losses) as
heat in the resistance of the metal. Cores for these devices use a number of methods to
reduce eddy currents:
● Cores of low frequency alternating current electromagnets and transformers,
instead of being solid metal, are often made of stacks of metal sheets, called laminations,
separated by non conductive coatings. These thin plates reduce the undesirable parasitic
eddy currents, as described below.
● Inductors and transformers used at higher frequencies often have magnetic cores
made of nonconductive magnetic materials such as ferrite or iron powder held together
with a resin binder.

Electromagnet Laminations
Eddy currents occur when a solid metallic mass is rotated in a magnetic field, because the
outer portion of the metal cuts more magnetic lines of force than the inner portion; hence
the induced electromotive force is not uniform; this tends to cause electric currents
between the points of greatest and least potential. Eddy currents consume a considerable
amount of energy and often cause a harmful rise in temperature.[25]
Only five laminations or plates are shown in this example, so as to show the subdivision
of the eddy currents. In practical use, the number of laminations or punchings ranges
from 40 to 66 per inch (16 to 26 per centimetre), and brings the eddy current loss down to
about one percent. While the plates can be separated by insulation, the voltage is so low
that the natural rust/oxide coating of the plates is enough to prevent current flow across
the laminations.[25]
This is a rotor approximately 20 mm in diameter from a DC motor used in a CD player.
Note the laminations of the electromagnet pole pieces, used to limit parasitic inductive
losses.

Parasitic induction within conductors

In this illustration, a solid copper bar

conductor on a rotating armature is just
passing under the tip of the pole piece N
of the field magnet. Note the uneven
distribution of the lines of force across
the copper bar. The magnetic field is
more concentrated and thus stronger on
the left edge of the copper bar (a,b) while the field is weaker on the right edge (c,d).
Since the two edges of the bar move with the same velocity, this difference in field
strength across the bar creates whorls or current eddies within the copper bar.[25]
High current power-frequency devices, such as electric motors, generators and
transformers, use multiple small conductors in parallel to break up the eddy flows that
can form within large solid conductors. The same principle is applied to transformers
used at higher than power frequency, for example, those used in switch-mode power
supplies and the intermediate frequency coupling transformers of radio receivers.
Transformers
Transformers are essential in electrical power transmission, allowing the conversion of
voltage levels to reduce energy loss during transmission. A transformer operates on the
principle of mutual induction, with primary and secondary coils wound on a common
core. The voltage transformation is given by:

Step-Up and Step-Down Transformers

Step-up transformers increase the voltage from the primary to the secondary coil, making
them suitable for long-distance power transmission. Step-down transformers, on the other
hand, decrease the voltage, making them ideal for distributing electricity to homes and
businesses.

Isolation Transformers
Isolation transformers provide electrical isolation between their primary and secondary
windings, improving safety by preventing the passage of direct current (DC) and
protecting against electrical shocks. These transformers are commonly used in medical
equipment and sensitive electronic devices.

distribution networks.

Electromagnetic Induction in Medicine

particularly in diagnostics and treatment. Techniques such as magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) rely on electromagnetic induction to generate detailed images of the
human body. Additionally, research into electromagnetic fields for targeted drug delivery

electrical resistance below a certain
temperature, have the potential to

Summary

Faraday’s Law

1. The magnetic flux through an enclosed area is defined as the amount of field lines
cutting through a surface area A defined by the unit area vector.
2. The units for magnetic flux are webers, where 1𝑊𝑏=1𝑇⋅𝑚^2
3. The induced emf in a closed loop due to a change in magnetic flux through the loop is
known as Faraday’s law. If there is no change in magnetic flux, no induced emf is
created.

braking in trains or roller coasters, and induction cooktops.

Electric Generators and Back Emf

1. An electric generator rotates a coil in a magnetic field, inducing an emf given as a

function of time by ε=𝑁𝐵𝐴ω𝑠𝑖𝑛(ω𝑡) where A is the area of an N-turn coil rotated at a
constant angular velocity ω in a uniform magnetic field 𝐵
2. The peak emf of a generator is ε=𝑁𝐵𝐴ω
3. Any rotating coil produces an induced emf. In motors, this is called back emf because
it opposes the emf input to the motor.

Applications of Electromagnetic Induction

1. Hard drives utilize magnetic induction to read/write information.
