Q

Electromagnetic induction

A

Occurs when a current is induced in a closed conducting loop when there is a change in the magnetic flux passing through the surface area of the conducting loop.

Q

Magnetic flux

A

For a loop of area (A) in the presence of a uniform magnetic flux density (B), the magnetic flux (Ф) passing through the loop is defined as Ф = BA cosθ, where θ is the
angle between the magnetic flux density (B) and the normal to the loop of the area (A).
