This interactive tutorial offers explanations of magnetic inductance, Faraday's experiments, and Lenz's Law. Several simulations illustrate the principles of magnetic fields, Faraday's Law, self-inductance effects, and applications of inductance. The text describes the physics illustrated by the simulations.
