- Magnetic flux is proportional to the number of magnetic field lines passing through a surface. A changing magnetic flux induces an electromotive force (emf) in conductors according to Faraday's law of induction.
- An electric generator uses a rotating coil in a magnetic field to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy via electromagnetic induction. A transformer uses induction to change the voltage in a coil by changing the number of turns in the coil.
- Resonance occurs in AC circuits with inductors and capacitors at the resonant frequency where the impedances of the inductor and capacitor are equal.
