In Uniform magnetic field the above expression can be written
as
f = B A⋅
The total magnetic flux linked with the coil is the flux
linked with each turn multiplied by the number of turns.
Thus,
f = BAN cos θ
Where θ is the angle between normal to the plane of the
coil and the direction of the magnetic field.
1. Whenever the magnetic flux linked with a conducting
loop or coil changes, an e.m.f is induced in it.
2. The induced emf is directly proportional to the rate of
change of magnetic flux through the coil.

f = − ×
Here e is the induced emf
N is the number of turns
f is the magnetic flux linked with each turn of the coil.
The negative sign indicates that the induced emf
opposes the cause that produces it.
Statement of lenz’s law: The direction of the induced emf is
always such as to result in opposition to the change producing it.
From Faraday’s second law and Lenz’s law induced emf is
given by

When a conductor moves through a magnetic field so as
to cut the field lines, an induced emf will exist across its
ends, in accordance with Faraday’s law.
The direction of the induced emf and consequent
current can be deduced from Fleming’s right hand rule.
The right hand is held with the thumb, index finger and
middle finger mutually perpendicular to each other (at
right angles), as shown in the diagram.
The thumb is pointed in the direction of the motion of
the conductor relative to the magnetic field.
The fore finger is pointed in the direction of the
magnetic field.
Then the middle finger represents the direction of the
induced or generated current within the conductor
(from the terminal with lower electric potential to the
terminal with higher electric potential, as in a voltage
source)

i.e., Nf ∝ I ⇒ Nf = LI
Where ‘L’ is the constant of proportionality and is known as
coefficient of self induction (or) self inductance.
Energy stored in an inductor: Because of its self
induced back emf, work must be done to increase the
current through a coil having self inductance (called
inductor) from zero to a value i. This work will be
stored as energy in the magnetic field established in the
coil and is given by
