Faraday's law of induction states that whenever a conductor is placed in a varying magnetic field, an electromotive force is introduced.

Faraday's Law of Induction (Maxwell's third equation) states:

• That a changing magnetic field within a loop gives rise to an induced current, which is due to a force or voltage within that circuit.
• Electric current gives rise to magnetic fields. Magnetic fields around a circuit gives rise to electric current.
• A magnetic field changing in time (t) gives rise to an E-field circulating around it.
• A circulating E-field in time gives rise to a magnetic field changing in time.

## Faraday's Law of Induction formula

 $$\large{ \triangledown x\; E = \frac { \partial B} { \partial t} }$$
