Faraday's Law Calculator

Physics
0.0(0)

Calculates the induced electromotive force (EMF) in a circuit based on Faraday's Law of Induction. This law states that the EMF is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux through a circuit.

How To Use

How to use this calculator

Start with your values, or try a preset.

Step 1

Enter Number of Turns in the Coil, Change in Magnetic Flux (Wb), and Time Over Which Flux Changes (s) in the units shown.

Step 2

Read Induced Electromotive Force (EMF) (V) in the results panel. Results update as you change the inputs.

Step 3

Choose a preset to load an example, then adjust the values for your situation.
