  1. ELECTRO - MAGNETIC INDUCTION INTRODUCTION Whenever magnetic flux linked with a circuit changes, an e.m.f. is induced in the circuit. If the circuit is closed, a current is also induced in it. The e.m.f. and current produced lasts as long as the flux linked with the circuit changes. The phenomenon is called electromagnetic induction MAGNETIC FLUX f é.dS f é.dS GAUSS'S LAW FOR MAGNETISM fé.dS - o FARADAY'S LAW Faraday performed three experiment : Experiment 1 : He pulled a loop of wire to the right through a magnetic field as soon figure (a). A current flowed in the loop. Experiment 2: He moved the magnet to the left, holding the loop still as soon figure (b). Again, a current flowed in the loop. Experiment 3: With both the loop and the magnet at rest as soon figure (c), he change the strength of the field (he used an electromagnet, and varied the current in the coil). Once again current flowed in the loop. x x x x (a) x x x x (b) of course, changing (c) magnetic field is an example of motional emf, conveniently expressed by the flux The first experiment, rule: do dt Faraday had an ingenious inspiration: A changing magnetic field induces an electric field. It is this "induced" electric field that accounts for the emf in Experiment 2. Indeed, if (as Faraday found empirically) the emf is again equal to the rate of change of the flux, do = $E.dl dt
  2. then E is related to the change in B by the equation f ey.da fE.dl This is Faraday's law, in integral form. Example 1 : Solution : Example 2 : Solution : A coil is placed in a constant magnetic field . The magnetic field is parallel to the plane of the coil as shown in figure. Find the emf induced in the coil. = 0 (always) since area is perpendicular to magnetic field. . emf = 0 Figure shows a coil placed in decreasing magnetic field applied perpendicular to the plane of coil . The magnetic field is decreasing at a rate of 10T/s. Find out current in magnitude and direction A=2m2 R=5Q dB emf = A. = 2 x 10=20 v dt . i = 20/ 5 = 4 amp. From lenz's law direction of current will be anticlockwise. LENZ'S LAW The induced current will flow in such a direction that the flux it produces tends to cancel the change.

Using Faraday's equation, I el dt d(BS) d(B/x) dx Blv dt dt dt For the direction of current, we can use Lenz's law. As the loop enters the field @ magnetic field passing through the loop increases, hence, current in the loop is anticlockwise. (O IN). From the theory of motional emf, e = Bvl and using right hand rule, current in the circuit is anticlockwise. Thus, we see that e and e = Bvl give the same result. In the similar manner we can show that dt current in the lop in figure (b) is zero and in figure (c) it is clockwise. INDUCED EMF IN A ROD e = Blvsin0
  3. Example 3 : Solution : INDUCTOR A rod PQ of length L moves with a uniform velocity v parallel to a long straight wire carrying a current l. The end P remains at a fixed perpendicular distance r from the wire. Calculate the e.m.f. induced across the rod. The rod moves in the magnetic field produced by the current carrying wire as a result of which an e.m.f. is induced across the rod. Let us consider a small element of length dx of the rod at a distance x and x + dx from the wire. The e.m.f. induced across the element, d: = Bvdx The magnetic field Bat a distance x from a wire carrying a current lis given by 21tx Using (2) in (1), we get d: — -Evdx 21tx Induced emf across the entire length of the rod PQ is given by —v dx —v dx 21tx Ptolv r +Ldx Violv [loge x] 27t 211 x polv —[loge(r +L) — loge r] 211 Ptolv loge 211 Already we have studied about capacitor — that stores energy in the form of electric field. Like capacitor, inductor is also quite a commonly used element in electric circuits, which stores magnetic energy. Inductance of an inductor depends on its geometry and medium in which it lies. As we know that when current flows through a conductor a magnetic field is set-up around it, and hence it is associated with magnetic flux. If magnetic flux associated with a coil is (l) and current in it is l, then its inductance is given by the expression L 'L' is called self-inductance of the coil. S.l. unit of inductance is henry.

Their radii are 'a' and 'b' respectively. The 'B' between the space of the cables is B = POI/2Ttr The Ampere's law tells that 'B' outside the cables is zero, as the net current through the amperian loop would be zero.

The line integral of E around a closed path is not zero. When a charge q goes once around the loop, the total work done on it by the electric field is equal to q times the emf. d(PB fE.dc e Hence dt Note, that the equation is valid only if the path around which we integrate is stationary. Because of symmetry, the electric field E at several points on the loop are shown in figure. Being a non-conservative field, the concept of potential has no meaning for such a field. This field is different from the electrostatic field produced by stationary charges (which is conservative in nature). The relation F =qE is still valid for this field.
  6. (f) This field can vary with time. A changing magnetic field acts as a source of electric field that cannot be produced with any static charge distribution.
