Objective
• Explain the electric potential created by a
changing magnetic field.
What’s the Point?
• This is how electric current is harnessed to
do mechanical work.
• It’s another way to think about the Lorentz
force. ☺
Lorentz Force Reminder
F = qv B

F is directed out of the screen.
Magnetic Flux
• Field through a surface
F = BA
• Effectively the number of field lines
enclosed by a loop
Flux Change Creates Potential
Faraday’s Law
The rate of magnetic flux change
through a loop equals the electric
potential induced around the loop.

•
Flux changes as loop turns
•
•
At a, c, e: Greatest flux F, least change
At b, d: Zero flux, fastest flux change DF/Dt
Induced current direction
Lenz’s Law
When a changing magnetic flux
induces a current, the induced
current’s magnetic field opposes the
flux change.
Lenz’s Law Example

• From a to b:
– flux decreases; DF into face of loop ←
– Loop current increases
– Induced field increases out of face of loop

Which direction is
the flux change?
What current
would oppose it?
If the loop inside this magnetic field
expands, in what direction will the
induced current around it be?
