Electromagnetic Induction

ced and investigated by Michael Faraday, in 1831. Electromagnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force (emf) in a conductor as a result of a changing magnetic field about the conducto ... Maxwell formulated the mathematical expression relating the change in magnetic flux to the induced electromotive force (emf). This relationship, known as Faraday's law of induction, states that the m ...
