What is induction of electric current?

According to Farady's law, whenever the flux linking with the coil changes, emf will induce in that coil.Actually the material should oppose the flux changes, that opposition is the induced current. Induced current will set own flux, opposite to that of the flux changes.For further details, refer lenz law.


At what degree does a conductor have to pass through a magnetic field to get maximum induced current?

The induced current is maximum when the axis of the conductor, its velocity, and the magnetic field lines are all mutually perpendicular.


How does electromagnetic induction produce induced current?

Before you can understand how electrical energy is supplied by your electric company, you need to know how it is produced. A magnet and a conductor, such as a wire, can be used to induce a current in the conductor. The key is motion. An electric current is induced in a conductor when the conductor moves through a magnetic field. Generating an electric current from the motion of a conductor through a magnetic field is called electromagnetic induction. Current that is generated in this way is called induced current. To induce a current in a conductor, either the conductor can move through the magnetic field or the magnet itself can move.


What will happen if you pass ac current passes through a inductor?

magnetic flux will be induced its use to rotate the shaft or given some force


When a conductor is moved in a magnetic field a voltage will be induced on the conductor however current won't flow through the conductor unless the conductor is what?

moving

What is difference between induced voltage and induced current?

Just as a current flowing through a wire will produce a magnetic field, so a wire moving through a magnetic field will have a current flowing through it. This is called electromagnetic induction and the current in the wire is called induced current. A stationary wire in the presence of a changing magnetic field also has an induced current. A changing magnetic field can be produced either by moving a magnet near to the stationary wire or by using alternating current. A stationary wire in a magnetic field which is not changing will have no current induced in it. You will sometimes see this effect described as induced voltage. Strictly speaking, you will only get an induced current in the wire if it is part of a complete circuit. A wire which is unconnected at both ends will have a difference in voltage between the ends (a potential difference) but current can only flow when the wire is in a circuit. Induced current is used in electricity generation and transformers.Another AnswerThere is no such thing as an 'induced current', only an 'induced voltage'. Current will flow only if the conductor into which the voltage is induced forms part of a closed circuit.

Does the induced emf in a circuit depend on the resistence of the circuit?

No. But the current through it does.


How Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction?

Move a magnet into a coil, and a voltage is induced into that coil, causing a galvanometer to deflect. Withdraw the magnet, and the galvanometer will deflect in the opposite direction, indicating that the induced voltage depends upon the direction of motion of the magnet.


How was current produce or induced?

Current is induced and not produced. when an electric wire is passed through magnetic field the current is induced in the electric wire, this electric wire is enamelled copper conductor of a rotor.AnswerCurrent is never 'induced' into a conductor. It is a voltage that is induced. If that conductor is then part of a complete circuit, then the induced voltage will cause a current to flow. The induced voltage will occur even when the conductor is open circuited.


Can a magnet create electricity?

yes, when a copper wire is coiled around it and attached to a battery, an electrical current passes through it. =============================== The above is not the apt answer for the query made. Yes when a magnet is moved through a coil of wire then current is induced in it. This phenomenon is known as electro magnetic induction and current is known as induced current. This is because of change of magnetic flux linked with the coil. So whenever there is a change in magnetic flux linked with a closed circuit then current is induced in the circuit. The current lasts so long as there is change in magnetic flux. Just link of magnetic flux will not induce any current. Only the change of magnetic flux does everything. This is very very important.


The magnitude of the voltage induced in a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field depends on the what?

The magnitude of the voltage induced in a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field depends on the length and the speed of the conductor.


Is lenz law used to find induced EMF's?

It's primary usage is to determine the nature of an induced EMF from changes in the magnetic flux through a circuit. However, you must use Faraday's Law (and a unit conversion factor) to determine the SIZE of such an EMF.


At what degree does a conductor have to pass through a magnetic field to get maximum induced current?

The induced current is maximum when the axis of the conductor, its velocity, and the magnetic field lines are all mutually perpendicular.


What flows through a circuit and causes a magnetic field?

An electric current flowing through a circuit causes a magnetic field. This is due to the movement of electric charges, usually electrons, in the circuit. The magnetic field produced is perpendicular to the direction of the current flow.


Moving a conductor through a magnetic field a voltage is induced in the conductor is called what type of induction?

Moving a conductor through a magnetic field will produce alternatinc current (AC).


Why lenz's law can be applied only to closed loops?

Lenz's law and Faraday's law of Induction.The induced current causes a magnetic field according to Ampere's law, which itself has a flux through the closed loop. According to Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current and which results in the induced magnetic flux opposes the initial magnetic flux.
