In general, the relation between the emf in a wire loop encircling a surface Σ, and the electric field E in the wire is given by = where dℓ is an element of contour of the surface Σ, combining this with the definition of flux =, we can write the integral form of the Maxwell–Faraday equation =
This induced voltage created by the changing current has the effect of opposing the change in current. This is stated by Lenz's law , and the voltage is called back EMF . Inductance is defined as the ratio of the induced voltage to the rate of change of current causing it. [ 1 ]
The light-induced charge separation eventually creates a forward current through the cell's internal resistance in the direction opposite the light-induced current . In addition, the induced voltage tends to forward bias the junction, which at high enough voltages will cause a recombination current I D {\displaystyle I_{D}} in the diode ...
Faraday's law is a single equation describing two different phenomena: the motional emf generated by a magnetic force on a moving wire (see the Lorentz force), and the transformer emf generated by an electric force due to a changing magnetic field (described by the Maxwell–Faraday equation).
where is back EMF, is the constant, is the flux, and is the angular velocity. By Lenz's law, a running motor generates a back-EMF proportional to the speed. Once the motor's rotational velocity is such that the back-EMF is equal to the battery voltage (also called DC line voltage), the motor reaches its limit speed.
The polarity (direction) of the induced voltage is given by Lenz's law, which states that the induced voltage will be such as to oppose the change in current. [7] For example, if the current through an inductor is increasing, the induced potential difference will be positive at the current's entrance point and negative at the exit point ...
In electromagnetism, an eddy current (also called Foucault's current) is a loop of electric current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field in the conductor according to Faraday's law of induction or by the relative motion of a conductor in a magnetic field. Eddy currents flow in closed loops within conductors, in planes ...
That is, the back-EMF is also due to inductance and Faraday's law, but occurs even when the motor current is not changing, and arises from the geometric considerations of an armature spinning in a magnetic field. This voltage is in series with and opposes the original applied voltage and is called "back-electromotive force" (by Lenz's law).
