Formula and explanation
The induced EMF generated when a conductor moves in a magnetic field and cuts magnetic field lines. Formula: E = Blvsinθ Applicable Conditions: Uniform magnetic field, straight conductor. Maximum when velocity, magnetic field, and conductor are mutually perpendicular. Explanation: This is a simplified form of Faraday's Law for specific motion, and its direction can be determined by the right - hand rule.
