What do you think?
• The loop of wire is
rotating in a
counterclockwise
direction.
• Electrons in metal are
free to move.
• The magnetic field is
horizontal and to the left.

Will there be a
force on the
electrons in the
left and right
segments of the
loop?
– If so, in what
direction is
that force?
In which direction
will the electrons
flow if the two
wires from the
ends are
connected?

Electromagnetic Induction
• Imagine a wire moving to
the right as shown.
– In what direction is the
force on the negative
charge?
• Upward
– This force will separate the
charges.
– As negative charges move
upward, the wire will
develop a potential
difference.

Electromagnetic Induction
Section 1
Electromagnetic Induction
• Electromagnetic induction is the process of
creating a current in a circuit loop by changing
the magnetic flux in the loop.
– This can be accomplished by moving the loop,
moving the field, or changing the strength of the field.
• If the magnetic flux does not change, no current
is induced.
• The current is increased if the loop size or
magnetic field strength are increased.

Section 1
Lenz’s Law
• As the magnet enters the coil, a force pushes the
electrons around the loop, inducing a current.
• The induced current creates a magnetic field that
opposes the motion of the magnet.

Section 1
Lenz’s Law
• Now the magnet is being removed from the coil as it
moves to the right.
• This induces a current in the opposite direction.
• Once again, the magnetic field in the coil opposes the
motion of the magnet.

Electromagnetic Induction
Section 1
Lenz’s Law
• The magnetic field of the induced current is in a
direction to produce a field that opposes the
change causing it.
• This rule can be used to find the direction of the
current in the loop.

Faraday’s Law
• The magnitude of the induced emf depends on the
number of loops (N), the magnetic flux (M), and the rate
of change.
• M = AB cos

Classroom Practice Problem
• A coil with 25 turns of wire is moving in a uniform
magnetic field of 1.5 T. The magnetic field is
perpendicular to the plane of the coil. The crosssectional area of the coil is 0.80 m2. The coil exits
the field in 1.0 s.
– Find the induced emf.
– Determine the induced current in the coil if the coil’s
resistance is 1.5 .
• Answers:
– 3.0 101 V, 2.0 101 A

Now what do you think?
• The loop of wire is rotating
in a counterclockwise
direction.
• Electrons in metal are free
to move.
• The magnetic field is
horizontal and to the left.
• The ends of the coil are
connected to a load such
as a light bulb (not shown).

In which direction
will the electrons
flow around the
loop?
What is the
direction of current
in the loop?
Use the right-hand
rule to find the
magnetic field
created by the
current in the loop.
Does this magnetic
field oppose the
motion of the loop?
