1 : Analysing the Magnetic Effect of

a Current-Carrying Conductor

*Electromagnet

• When current flows in the solenoid, a magnetic field

is produced.
• The magnetic field then magnetises the iron
core,thus causing it to be an electromagnet.

Induction
*Induced e.m.f. and Induced Current

*Fleming's Right hand Rule

*Lenz's Law

• Use Lenz's Law to determine thef. polarity of the

induced e.m.f.
• use Fleming's right hand grip rule to determine
that direction of current flow
*Magnitude of Induced Current

Faraday's Law

• Faraday's law states that the magnitude of the

induced e.m.f is directly proportional to the rate
of change of magnetic flux linked to the conductor
