\[ \varepsilon = -\frac{\Delta \Phi_B}{\Delta t} \]

Induced Voltage (ε):

1. What is Electromagnetic Induction?

Definition: Electromagnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force (voltage) across a conductor when it is exposed to a varying magnetic field.

Purpose: This calculator helps determine the voltage induced in a coil based on Faraday's Law of Induction.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses Faraday's Law:

\[ \varepsilon = -N \frac{\Delta \Phi_B}{\Delta t} \]

Where:

\( \varepsilon \) — Induced electromotive force (voltage) in volts (V)
\( N \) — Number of turns in the coil
\( \Delta \Phi_B \) — Change in magnetic flux in webers (Wb)
\( \Delta t \) — Time interval over which the flux changes in seconds (s)

Explanation: The negative sign indicates the direction of the induced EMF (Lenz's Law), which opposes the change in magnetic flux.

3. Importance of Electromagnetic Induction

Details: This principle is fundamental to the operation of generators, transformers, and many electrical devices.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the change in magnetic flux (Wb), the time interval (s), and the number of turns in the coil. Time must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is magnetic flux?
A: Magnetic flux (Φ_B) is a measure of the total magnetic field passing through a given area, measured in webers (Wb).

Q2: Why does the number of turns matter?
A: Each turn of wire contributes to the total induced voltage, so more turns result in greater voltage for the same flux change.

Q3: What does the negative sign mean?
A: It represents Lenz's Law - the induced current creates a magnetic field opposing the change in flux that produced it.

Q4: How do I calculate magnetic flux change?
A: Φ_B = B × A × cosθ, where B is magnetic field strength, A is area, and θ is the angle between the field and normal to the surface.

Q5: What are typical applications?
A: Electric generators, transformers, induction cooktops, wireless charging, and many sensors work on this principle.
