Flux, Faraday Law and Lenz Law

The source defines magnetic flux, induced emf, and Lenz's law as opposition to the producing cause.

ϕ=∫B⃗⋅ds⃗\phi=\int \vec B\cdot d\vec s
E=−dϕdtE=-\frac{d\phi}{dt}
magnetic flux
B through area

Variables & Notation

BB

magnetic field

EE

electric field, emf, or energy depending on context

ϕ\phi

magnetic flux or phase angle depending on context

Notes

  • Lenz's law is stated as a conservation-of-energy principle.
