Definitions:

Electromagnetic Induction

The production of voltage across a conductor situated in a changing magnetic field or a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field.

Magnetic Flux

The measurement of the total magnetic field passing through a given area, represented symbolically as Φ, and providing insight into the strength and direction of magnetic fields.

Lenz's Law

A principle stating that an induced electromotive force (emf) always generates a current whose magnetic field opposes the original change in magnetic flux.

Left-hand Generator Rule

A rule that predicts the direction of induced current flow in a generator's conductor moving perpendicular to a magnetic field, using the left hand to demonstrate orientation.
