This lecture introduces the empirical law of electromagnetic induction by Henry and Faraday, explaining how a time-dependent magnetic field induces an electromotive force (emf) in a conductor loop. The lecture covers the concept of magnetic flux, the relationship between magnetic field changes and induced current, and the mathematical formulas describing induced emf. Through various experiments and examples, the instructor demonstrates how mechanical motion in a magnetic field generates emf, leading to the production of electric energy. The lecture also explores the transformation of mechanical power into electrical power, emphasizing the fundamental principles of electromagnetic induction and the interplay between magnetic fields, currents, and forces.
