Faraday's Law
The induced emf due to a changing magnetic field is equal in magnitude to the rate of change of the magnetic flux through a surface bounded by the circuit
The direction of the induced current is given by Lenz's Law
Lenz's Law
The current induced by a changing magnetic flux creates a magnetic field opposing the change in flux
Maxwell's Equations
Example 1: Induced Current in a Loop
Find the generated emf as a function of time
Determine the current through the 100-ohm lamp as a function of time
What is the direction of the current through the loop at time t=5s?
Clockwise, due to Lenz's Law
Example 2: Rod on Rails
Consider a circuit in which a current-carrying rod on rails is moved to the left with constant velocity v. If the circuit is perpendicular to a constant magnetic field, determine the induced emf in the circuit
