Questions tagged [electromagnetic-induction]
This tag is for questions regarding to electromagnetic induction, a process in which a conductor is put in a particular position and magnetic field keeps varying or magnetic field is stationary and a conductor is moving. Electromagnetic Induction was first discovered way back in the 1830’s by Michael Faraday.

Emf in stationary conductor located in a uniform magnetic field, when the source of this field moves relative to the conductor
When a conductor moves with velocity $\vec v$ in a uniform magnetic field $\vec B$ produced by a stationary source, then the magnetic force in this conductor push charges from one end of the conductor ...
