If the speed of a moving magnet inside a coil increases, the electric current in the coil increases.
– This phenomenon is described by Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction.
– Faraday’s Law states that the magnitude of the induced electromotive force (EMF) in a circuit is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit.
– When a magnet moves near a coil, it causes a change in the magnetic flux passing through the coil.
– Increasing the speed of the moving magnet increases the rate at which the magnetic flux changes.
– A greater rate of change of magnetic flux induces a larger EMF in the coil.
– According to Ohm’s Law, a larger induced EMF results in a larger induced current, assuming the resistance of the coil remains constant.
The direction of the induced current is given by Lenz’s Law, which states that the induced current flows in a direction that opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it. While the direction can reverse if the direction of motion or magnetic field changes, the *magnitude* of the current increases with the speed of the magnet’s movement.
