The method for determining the induced electromotive force caused by a change in magnetic flux in a circuit usually follows Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction describes the induced electromotive force (EMF) due to changes in magnetic flux, as follows:

The meanings of the symbols are as follows:


  • E stands for induced electromotive force (volts, V).


  • N is the number of turns of the coil.


  • ΔΦB is the change in magnetic flux through the coil (unit: Weber, Wb).


  • Δt is the time (in seconds, s) required for the magnetic flux to change.



Application steps of Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction


  • Determine the magnetic flux: First you need to determine the magnetic flux through the coil. The magnetic flux ΦB can be calculated by the following formula:

Here B is the magnetic induction intensity (unit: tesla, T), A is the effective area perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field (unit: square meters, m²), and θ is the Angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the normal direction of the coil plane.


  • Calculate the change in magnetic flux: If the magnetic flux changes with time, you need to calculate the change in magnetic flux over a period of time ΔΦB= ΦB, final−ΦB,initial


  • Determine the time interval: Determine the time interval Δt required to change the magnetic flux.



  • Faraday's Law is applied: Finally, the change in magnetic flux is divided by the time interval and multiplied by the number of turns of the coil N, you get the induced electromotive force.


  • Direction judgment: According to Lenz's law, the direction of the induced electromotive force always causes the current generated by it to produce a magnetic field, which will hinder the change of the original magnetic field. That is, the direction of the induced electromotive force always tries to counteract the change in magnetic flux that causes it.

Load Frequency Control (LFC) & Turbine Governor Control (TGC) in Power System
Brief Introduction to Thermal Generating UnitsElectricity generation relies on both renewable and non - renewable energy resources. Thermal generating units represent a conventional approach to power production. In these units, fuels such as coal, nuclear energy, natural gas, biofuel, and biogas are combusted within a boiler.The boiler of a generating unit is an extremely complex system. In its simplest conception, it can be visualized as a chamber whose walls are lined with pipes, through which

Why 3-Phase Power? Why Not 6, 12 or More for Power Transmission?
Why 3-Phase Power? Why Not 6, 12 or More for Power Transmission?
It is well-known that single-phase and three-phase systems are the most prevalent configurations for power transmission, distribution, and end-use applications. While both serve as fundamental power supply frameworks, three-phase systems offer distinct advantages over their single-phase counterparts.Notably, multi-phase systems (such as 6-phase, 12-phase, etc.) find specific applications in power electronics—particularly in rectifier circuits and variable frequency drives (VFDs)—wher

How Many Poles and Towers are Situated Within a 1-km Span?
The number of distribution poles and transmission towers within a 1-kilometer stretch of overhead lines varies significantly based on multiple factors, including voltage level, power line type, supporting structure, geographical location, local regulations, and specific grid requirements.In urban areas, distribution utility poles are typically positioned at closer intervals, while in rural regions, they are spaced farther apart. Additionally, the use of taller structures for higher-voltage trans

Synchronizing Power and Torque Coefficient
Definition of Synchronizing PowerSynchronizing power, denoted as Psyn, is defined as the variation in synchronous powerP with respect to changes in the load angle δ. Also referred to as thestiffness of coupling,stability factor, orrigidity factor, it quantifies a synchronous machine’s (generator or motor) inherent tendency to maintain synchronism when connected to infinite busbars.Principle of Synchronism MaintenanceConsider a synchronous generator transmitting a steady power Pa at a
