Term
electromagnetic induction
Definition
The phenomenon of inducing a voltage in a conductor by changing the magnetic field near the conductor.
Term
Faraday's law
Definition
Induced voltage in a coil is proportional to the product of the number of loops and the rate at which the magnetic field changes within those loops. In general, an electric field is induced in any region of space in which a magnetic field is changing with time. the magnitude of the induced electric field is proportional to the rate at which the magnetic field changes.
Term
generator
Definition
A machine that produces electric current by rotating a coil within a stationary magnetic field.
Term
transformer
Definition
A device for increasing or decreasing voltage through electromagnetic induction.
