INTRODUCTION:
F araday's law of induction is a basic law of electromagnetism that predicts
how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce
an electromotive force (EMF). It is the fundamental operating principle
of transformers, inductors, and many types of electrical motors and generators.

Electromagnetic induction was discovered independently by Michael

Faraday and Joseph Henry in 1831; however, Faraday was the first to publish the
results of his experiments. Faraday explained electromagnetic induction using a
concept he called lines of force.These equations for electromagnetics are extremely
important since they provide a means to precisely describe how many natural physical
phenomena in our universe arise and behave. The ability to quantitatively describe
physical phenomena not only allows us to gain a better understanding of our universe,
but it also makes possible a host of technological innovations that define modern
society. Understanding Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction can be beneficial
since so many aspects of our daily life function because of the principles behind
Faraday’s Law. From natural phenomena such as the light we receive from the sun, to
technologies that improve our quality of life such as electric power generation,
Faraday’s Law has a great impact on many aspects of our lives.

Faraday’s Law is the result of the experiments of the English chemist and physicist
Michael Faraday . The concept of electromagnetic induction was actually discovered
simultaneously in 1831 by Faraday in London and Joseph Henry, an American
scientist working in New York , but Faraday is credited for the law since he published

9
his work first . An important aspect of the equation that quantifies Faraday’s Law
comes from the work of Heinrich Lenz, a Russian physicist who made his
contribution to Faraday’s Law, now known as Lenz’s Law, in 1834 (Institute of
Chemistry).

Faraday’s law describes electromagnetic induction, whereby an electric field is

induced, or generated, by a changing magnetic field. Before expanding upon this
description, it is necessary to develop an understanding of the concept of fields, as
well as the related concept of potentials.

 Faraday's first experimental demonstration of electromagnetic induction (August 29,

1831), he wrapped two wires around opposite sides of an iron ring or "torus" (an
arrangement similar to a modern toroidal transformer) to induce current

Figure 1 Faraday's First Experiment

Some physicists have remarked that Faraday's law is a single equation describing two
different phenomena: the motional EMF generated by a magnetic force on a moving
wire (see Lorentz force), and the transformerEMF generated by an electric force due
to a changing magnetic field (due to the Maxwell–Faraday equation). James Clerk

10
Maxwell drew attention to this fact in his 1861 paper On Physical Lines of Force. In
the latter half of part II of that paper, Maxwell gives a separate physical explanation
for each of the two phenomena. A reference to these two aspects of electromagnetic
induction is made in some modern textbooks.

THEORY:
Magnetic flux:

The magnetic flux (often denoted Φ or ΦB) through a surface is the component of

the B field passing through that surface. The SI unit of magnetic flux is
the weber (Wb) (in derived units: volt-seconds), and the CGS unit is the maxwell.
Magnetic flux is usually measured with a fluxmeter, which contains measuring coils
and electronics that evaluates the change of voltage in the measuring coils to calculate
the magnetic flux.

 If the magnetic field is constant, the magnetic flux passing through a surface of vector
area S is

where B is the magnitude of the magnetic field (the magnetic flux density) having the
unit of Wb/m2 (Tesla), S is the area of the surface, and θ is the angle between the
magnetic field lines and the normal (perpendicular) to S.

 For a varying magnetic field, we first consider the magnetic flux through an
infinitesimal area element dS, where we may consider the field to be constant

12
From the definition of the magnetic vector potential A and the fundamental theorem
of the curl the magnetic flux may also be defined as:

where the line integral is taken over the boundary of the surface S, which is denoted
∂S.

LAW:
The most widespread version of Faraday's law states:

The induced electromotive force in any closed circuit is equal to the

negative of the time rate of change of the magnetic flux through the
circuit.

13
This version of Faraday's law strictly holds only when the closed circuit is a loop of
infinitely thin wire,and is invalid in other circumstances as discussed below. A
different version, the Maxwell–Faraday equation (discussed below), is valid in all
circumstances.

When the flux changes—because B changes, or because the wire loop is moved or

deformed, or both—Faraday's law of induction says that the wire loop acquires
an EMF  , defined as the energy available per unit charge that travels once around the
wire loop (the unit of EMF is the volt).Equivalently, it is the voltage that would be
measured by cutting the wire to create an open circuit, and attaching a voltmeter to the
leads.

According to theLorentz force law (in SI units),

the EMF on a wire loop is:

where E is the electric field, B is the magnetic field (aka magnetic flux density,

magnetic induction), dℓ is an infinitesimal arc length along the wire, and the line
integral is evaluated along the wire (along the curve the conincident with the shape of
the wire).

The Maxwell–Faraday equation states that a time-varying magnetic field is always

accompanied by a spatially-varying, non-conservative electric field, and vice-versa.
The Maxwell–Faraday equation is

 where   is the curl operator and again E(r, t) is the electric field and B(r, t) is

the magnetic field. These fields can generally be functions of position r and time t.

14
The four Maxwell's equations (including the Maxwell–Faraday equation), along with
the Lorentz force law, are a sufficient foundation to derive everything inclassical
electromagnetism. Therefore it is possible to "prove" Faraday's law starting with these
equations.  Faraday's law could be taken as the starting point and used to "prove" the
Maxwell–Faraday equation and/or other laws.)

15
CONCLUSION
Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction, first observed and
published by Michael Faraday in the mid-nineteenth century,
describes a very important electro-magnetic concept. Although its
mathematical representations are cryptic, the essence of Faraday’s is
not hard to grasp: it relates an induced electric potential or voltage
to a dynamic magnetic field. This concept has many far-reaching
ramifications that touch our lives in many ways: from the shining of
the sun, to the convenience of mobile communications, to electricity
to power our homes. We can all appreciate the profound impact
Faraday’s Law has on us.
