AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism Faraday's Law & Lenz's Law
Lecture Description
Two more important laws in this course are Faraday’s and Lenz’s laws, which contribute greatly to real-world appliances like a generator. These laws are the basis of which mechanical energy can be converted into electrical energy. Here, you will learn how to calculate these two laws. The things to take away from this are that: Faraday’s law gives the induced EMF in a changing magnetic field and Lenz’s law gives the direction of the magnetic field induced by the current from a magnetic flux shift. Meaning, these laws will always apply to problems that involve changing magnetic fields. Always remember that half of physics is knowing the math, while the other half is knowing when to apply certain equations.

im not sure how you got R= lamda(L+2vt)in Q b for apc exam 2007.
i just need a follow up on the method used to derive that expression perhaps in a previous lecture or briefly on here.

I didn't understand part b on the 2010 FRQ. The current is changing so the magnetic field must be changing as well, shouldn't it? Therefore, there will be an induced emf. This is my thinking. Can you please clarify for me?

As the loop moves upward, the flux through the loop into the page is decreasing. Lenz's Law states that the induced current creates a magnetic field opposing this change, so it tries to maintain that flux into the loop, which, by the right-hand-rule, indicates a clockwise current.

Hi, professor.
I just have a question on example 8.
Why is the magnetic flux decreasing, as the loop moves upward?
Thank you,
James
