I understand what electromagnetic induction is and its applications. However, I don't understand why this occurs- is there an explanation for why a changing magnetic flux induces an electric current?
Thanks
Thanks
Electromagnetic induction is the process by which a changing magnetic field produces an electric current in a conductor.
Electromagnetic induction works by moving a magnet or changing the magnetic field near a conductor, such as a wire. This creates a changing magnetic field which, in turn, generates an electric current in the conductor.
Electromagnetic induction has many practical applications, including generators, transformers, electric motors, and induction cooktops. It is also used in wireless charging and electromagnetic braking systems.
Faraday's laws state that: 1) a changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in a conductor, and 2) the magnitude of the induced EMF is directly proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic field.
Electromagnetic induction is the process of converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. It plays a crucial role in electricity generation and distribution, as well as in many electronic devices.
