Faraday's Law Simulation
Changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a loop
What Is Faraday's Law?
Faraday's Law is a electromagnetism law that describes changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a loop. This page visualizes the phenomenon with interactive controls so you can change parameters and observe how the model responds.
What To Observe
- Watch how the visual pattern or system response changes as you adjust the controls for Faraday's Law.
- Relate each visual change to the core phenomenon shown here: changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a loop.
- Use repeated runs with one parameter changed at a time to build intuition.
