Faraday's First Law: Whenever a current carrying conductor placed in

a varying magnetic field then the emf is induced. (OR)


Whenever a current carrying conductor is rotated in magnetic field then the
emf is induced.

Faraday's Second law: The induced electromotive force in any closed


circuit is equal to the negative of the time rate of change of the magnetic
flux enclosed by the circuit.

Flemings Right Hand Rule (for generators): The right hand is


held with the thumb, first finger and second finger mutually perpendicular to
each other (at right angles), as shown in the diagram .
The Thumb represents the direction of Motion of the conductor.
The First finger represents the direction of the Field. (North to south)
The Second finger represents the direction of the induced or generated
Current (the direction of the induced current will be the direction of
conventional current; from positive to negative).

Lenz's law: states that when an emf is generated by a change in


magnetic flux according to Faraday's Law, the polarity of the induced emf is
such, that it produces an current that's magnetic field opposes the change
which produces it.

Lenz Law: The principle that the direction of the current induced in a
circuit by a changing magnetic field is such that the magnetic field produced
by this current will oppose the original field.

Electrical reactance, the opposition to a change in voltage due to


capacitance (capacitive reactance) or in current due to inductance (inductive
reactance); the imaginary component of AC impedance.

Impedance: A measure of the total opposition to current flow in an


alternating current circuit, made up of two components, ohmic resistance
and reactance, and usually represented in complex notation as Z = R + iX,
where R is the ohmic resistance and X is the reactance.

Resonance: If a sinusoidal voltage is applied to a circuit consisting of


resistive and reactive elements under special circumstances , the impedance

offered by the network is purely resistive, this phenomenon is called


Resonance. At resonance, the circuit Voltage V and Current I are in phase.
