4.5 Faraday's Law
4.5 Faraday's Law
Faraday discovered that when a wire coil enters a magnetic field, it generates an emf. The induced current generates a magnetic field that counteracts the magnetic field buildup in the coil. This is expressed as:
Emf = NΔΦ/Δt (4.41)
where N is the number of loops, Φ = BA is the magnetic flux, B is the external magnetic field, and A is the surface of the loop.
The negative sign represents Lenz's Law within the context of electromagnetic induction. As well reviewed, emf refers to the electromotive force that appears. The current through the circuit generates a flux and flux linkage, resulting in an emf, according to Faraday's and Lenz's Laws (Fig. 4.15).

Fig. 4.15 Faraday's and Lenz's Law.
This creates a self-induced emf that, according to Lenz's law, opposes the action that caused it.
It resists changes in the current under all circumstances. According to Lenz's law, we can draw the relationship between current and induction in a coil (Fig. 4.16).
). The top left loop shows an upward magnetic field and induced current. The top right loop shows a downward magnetic field and induced current. The bottom left loop has a downward magnetic field and induced current. The bottom right loop shows an upward magnetic field and induced current. Arrows indicate the direction of the magnetic field and induced current.">
Fig. 4.16 Induced current opposes primary current.
The magnetic field increases as the current increases. As a result, an opposing emf appears. This causes the electric current to lag behind the voltage. In this scenario, the coil absorbs energy in the form of an increasing magnetic field. Notice that, once the current has stabilized at its peak level through the coil, the self-induction emf is zero. However, as the current decreases, so does the field, resulting in a self-induction emf that resists the decreasing current.
Question What is the energy behavior of the coil during this phase?
Now, the coil releases the energy it had stored in the previous quarter cycle to the generator as a diminishing magnetic field. This behavior differs from that of the capacitor, despite their similarities. Now, we plot the voltage and current waves travel in an inductive circuit (Fig. 4.17).

We see in this vector diagram (Fig. 4.17) the electric current with a 90° delay with respect to the voltage. It is clear that as the current rise, the voltage reaches a peak, charging the coil.
What is the average power consumption value?
