elektromotív

Elektromotív is a term used in physics and electrical engineering to describe the phenomenon of inducing an electromotive force, commonly known as EMF, in a conductor when it is exposed to a changing magnetic field. This principle is fundamental to the operation of electric generators, transformers, and many other electrical devices. The concept of EMF was first described by Michael Faraday in the 19th century through his law of induction.

Faraday's law states that the magnitude of the induced EMF in any closed circuit is equal to the rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit. Magnetic flux is a measure of the total magnetic field passing through a given area. Therefore, if a conductor is moved through a magnetic field, or if the magnetic field strength changes around a stationary conductor, an EMF will be generated. This EMF can drive an electric current if the circuit is complete.

The direction of the induced EMF and the resulting current is given by Lenz's Law, which states that the induced current will flow in a direction that opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it. This opposition is a consequence of the conservation of energy. Different types of electromotive force exist, including those generated by electromagnetic induction, chemical reactions (as in batteries), and thermoelectric effects. Understanding electromotív is crucial for designing and analyzing electrical systems and for developing new technologies.
