Descripción
The quantitative relationship between a varying magnetic field and the electric field created by the change. This potential difference, or electromotive force, by motion of a conductor in a magnetic field is the fundamental operating principle of electrical transformers, inductors, and electrical motors. It was first observed by Michael Faraday ca. 1831, and is described by Faraday’s law of induction.
