physics.faraday_lenz_law ======================== .. py:module:: physics.faraday_lenz_law .. autoapi-nested-parse:: According to Faraday's law, the emergence of electric currents depends on the change in magnetic flux. Therefore, we write that the time variation of the magnetic flux is equivalent to an electric potential measured in volts (V), which, for historical reasons, is called the induced electromotive force (ε). This relationship is expressed by the following formula: --------------- | ε = ΔΦ / Δt | --------------- ε --> induced electromotive force (V - volts) ΔΦ = ΦF - Φi - variation in magnetic flux (Wb) Δt - time interval (s) Furthermore, due to the principle of conservation of energy, we need to add a negative sign to Faraday's law. This signal was introduced by Lenz's Law, which allows us to determine the direction of the electric current: An electric current will always be formed in a direction such that the magnetic flux it produces opposes the magnetic flux that induced it. The combination of these pieces of information gives rise to the Faraday-Lenz Law.
