Michael Faraday (1831)

18
Q

First Law: “Whenever a conductor are
placed in a______, an
electromotive force (emf) is induced.

A

varying magnetic field

19
Q

First law: If the conductor circuit is closed, a current is induced which is called ?

A

induced current.

20
Q

Faraday concluded that an electric current cannot be induced in a circuit merely by presence of magnetic field. It should be a ?

A

changing magnetic field

21
Q

Second Law: “The magnitude of
the induced emf in a coil is equal
to the ______that
linkages with the coil.”

A

rate of change of flux

22
Q

the number of turns in the coil
and the flux associated with the
coil.

A

flux linkage
