- Magnetic Flux:
Magnetic flux through a plane of area dA placed in a uniform magnetic field B
φ = ∫ B.d A
If the surface is closed, then
φ = ∫ B.d A
This is because magnetic lines of force are closed lines and free magnetic poles do not exist.

- Faraday’s Law: a) First Law: whenever there is a change in the magnetic flux linked with a circuit with time, an induced emf is produced in the circuit which lasts as long as the change in magnetic flux continues. b) Second Law: According to this law,
? dφ ?
Induced emf, E ∝ ?
?
? dt ?

- Lenz’s Law:
The direction of the induced emf or current in the circuit is such that it opposes the cause due to which it is produced, so that,
? dφ ?
E = −N ?
?
? dt ?
Where N is the number of turns in coil
Lenz’s law is based on energy conservation.

Charge depends only on net change in flux does not depends on time.

- Mutual Induction and Mutual Inductance: a) On changing the current in one coil, if the magnetic flux linked with a second coil changes and induced emf is produced in that coil, then this phenomenon is called mutual induction.
