I know a varying magnetic flux linked with a coil induces current in it.. That is faradey's law! But then why does varying magnetic flux induce current? I searched a lot but i am still unable to get a 'satisfactory' answer!

may be that could help you..!!

OpenStudy (ujjwal):

Thanks buddy!

OpenStudy (shivaniits):

u r welcome!! u helped me lot and i know i could be really annoying in that discussion..:P

OpenStudy (ujjwal):

No, in fact getting to know how others view the same thing is always helpful.. Your views sometimes can be different and correct too.. And that is how i love to learn physics.. through discussions!

Look up lorentz's law- although of course that doesn't really describe WHY, it's a useful generalisation.

OpenStudy (ujjwal):

Lorentz's law doesn't describe it that effectively.. It might describe the cases when the loop of wire is being deformed and the cases of 'motional emf'. But then there is a current even when the wire is 'not moving' and only magnitude of magnetic field is changed by some means!
