- Determine the magnetic flux that links the conductor or circuit.
- Identify the action that is producing the change in flux linkage.
- Calculate the ‘change in flux linkage’.
- Calculate the time taken for the ‘change in flux linkage’ to occur.
- Use Faraday’s law to calculate the magnitude of the induced e.m.f.
- Use Lenz’s law to predict direction of induced current that is set up. (This may not be applicable for opened circuit when an induced current is not allowed to flow.)
- Fleming’s right hand rule may also be used to find the direction of the induced e.m.f. or current where appropriate.
