Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating an electromotive force (emf) or voltage across a conductor when it is exposed to a changing magnetic field. This phenomenon was first discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831.
Key Concepts
Faraday's Law: This law states that the induced electromotive force (emf) in a closed loop is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the loop.
Lenz's Law: According to Lenz's law, the direction of the induced emf creates a magnetic field that opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it.
Magnetic Flux:Magnetic flux is a measure of the amount of magnetic field passing through a given area. It is given by the product of the magnetic fieldstrength, the perpendicular area it penetrates, and the cosine of the angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the area.

Energy - A. Energy is involved in all physical and chemical processes. It is conserved, and can be transformed from one form to another and into work. At the atomic and nuclear levels energy is not continuous but exists in discrete amounts. Energy and mass are related through Einstein's equation E=mc 2 . B. The properties of atomic nuclei are responsible for energy-related phenomena such as radioactivity, fission and fusion. C. Changes in entropy and energy that accompany chemical reactions influence reaction paths. Chemical reactions result in the release or absorption of energy. D. The theory of electromagnetism explains that electricity and magnetism are closely related. Electric charges are the source of electric fields. Moving charges generate magnetic fields. E. Waves are the propagation of a disturbance. They transport energy and momentum but do not transport matter.
