Faraday's Law of Induction
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.
