Electromagnetic Induction
Electromagnetic Induction is around 15%–20% of your AP test. This unit focuses on Faraday's Law, Lenz's Law, inductance, and time-varying circuits. Understanding how changing magnetic fields create electric fields and how this leads to induced currents and voltages is crucial for understanding generators, transformers, and many modern technologies.
Now let's get into it!
Electromagnetic Induction is the process by which a changing magnetic field creates an electric field, leading to induced currents and voltages. In AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism, this unit introduces Faraday's Law, Lenz's Law, inductance, and time-varying circuits. It focuses on how moving magnets, changing currents, and time-varying magnetic fields generate electric fields and currents in conductors. Mastery of electromagnetic induction helps understand generators, transformers, motors, and many modern electrical technologies.
