A changing magnetic flux induces an
electric field !
This electric field is not a potential field.
The field lines form a closed loops.
4) Lenz’s law
The direction of any magnetic induction effect is such as to oppose
the cause of the effect
For instance: a current produced by an induced emf moves in a
direction so that its magnetic field opposes the original change in flux

Example: If a North pole moves toward the loop in the plane of the page,
in what direction is the induced current?
Since the magnet is moving parallel to the loop,
there is no magnetic flux through the loop.
Thus the induced current is zero.
Example: In order to change the magnetic flux through the loop, what
would you have to do?
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
drop the magnet
move the magnet upwards
move the magnet sideways
all of the above
only (1) and (2)
Moving the magnet in any direction would change the
magnetic field through the loop and thus the magnetic flux.
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
tilt the loop
change the loop area
use thicker wires
all of the above
only (1) and (2)
Since,  B  BAcos
changing the area or tilting the loop (which varies the
projected area) would change the magnetic flux through the loop.
Example: Wire #1 (length L) forms a one-turn loop, and a bar magnet is dropped
through. Wire #2 (length 2L) forms a two-turn loop, and the same magnet is
dropped through. Compare the magnitude of the induced currents in these two
cases.

Induced emf is twice as large in the wire with 2 loops. The current is given by
Ohm’s law: I = V/R. Since wire #2 is twice as long as wire #1, it has twice the
resistance, so the current in both wires is the same.
Example: A bar magnet is held above the floor and dropped. In 1, there is
nothing between the magnet and the floor. In 2, the magnet falls through a
copper loop. How will the magnet in case 2 fall in comparison to case 1?
1) it will fall slower;
2) it will fall faster;
3) it will fall the same
When the magnet is falling from above the loop in 2, the
induced current will produce a North pole on top of the
loop, which repels the magnet.
When the magnet is below the loop, the induced current
will produce a North pole on the bottom of the loop,
which attracts the South pole of the magnet.
