Abstract:Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction is one of the four Maxwell’s equations, presented here in vector notation. Its discovery paved the way for a second industrial revolution based on machines powered by electricity. Roughly speaking, it states that the negative (a Lenz‘s contribution) of the temporal rate of change of magnetic fields acts as a source for an electric field of rotational nature. In this paper, we discuss readily replicable experiments demonstrating Faraday’s law in action, using the motio… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
