Abstract:
According to Faraday's formula for electromagnetic induction, the mechanism by which induced electromotive force (EMF) is generated is unclear. This study proposes a possible mechanism by which the induced EMF is generated using a simple experimental setup. Herein, the angle of a circular coil made of copper wire is changed at every 15° (0°–360°) and brought close to the magnetic field at the center of the bar magnet to investigate changes in the EMF. The magnetic force lines are nearly straight and parallel at the center of the bar magnet. Moreover, at this position, the ↑ spin valence electrons are expected to align parallel to the bar magnet’s north–south direction. Results showed that EMF varies with the angle and is distributed on the graph of y = sin θ, similar to the Magnus effect of airflow.
