Study Notes

Electromagnetic Induction, Self-Induction

Electromagnetic induction involves the production of an electromotive force (EMF) in a conductor due to a changing magnetic flux.
The induced EMF is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux.
Faraday's law: EMF = -N(dΦB/dt), where N is the number of turns in a coil and ΦB is the magnetic flux.
The minus sign indicates Lenz's law, which states that the induced current opposes the change in magnetic flux.

Self-Induction

Self-induction occurs when a changing current in a conductor creates a changing magnetic field that induces an EMF in the same conductor.
The inductance (L) of a coil is a measure of its ability to oppose changes in current.
The unit of inductance is the Henry (H).
The induced EMF due to self-induction is given by: EMF = -L(dI/dt).

Energy Stored in an Inductor

An inductor stores energy in its magnetic field.
The energy stored in an inductor is given by: U = (1/2)LI².

Series RLC Circuit

A series RLC circuit contains a resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor connected in series.
The impedance (Z) of a series RLC circuit is the total opposition to current flow and is determined by the resistance (R), inductive reactance (XL), and capacitive reactance (XC).
Impedance is calculated using the formula: Z = √(R² + (XL - XC)²)
The resonance frequency (ωo) is the frequency at which the inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are equal, resulting in a minimum impedance.
At resonance, the current in the circuit is maximum.
The resonance frequency is calculated using: ωo = 1/√(LC).

Spherical Mirrors and Lenses

Light rays can be reflected or refracted by spherical mirrors and lenses.
Spherical mirrors are curved reflective surfaces, while lenses are transparent objects that refract light.
The focal length (f) of a mirror or lens is the distance from the mirror or lens to the point where parallel rays converge or appear to converge.
The magnification (M) of a mirror or lens is a measure of how much larger or smaller an image is compared to the object.
Magnification is calculated using: M = - (image height)/(object height) = -(image distance)/(object distance).

Interference and Diffraction of Light

Interference occurs when two or more waves overlap.
Constructive interference occurs when the waves are in phase and reinforce each other.
Destructive interference occurs when the waves are out of phase and cancel each other.
Diffraction is the spreading of waves as they pass through an opening or around an obstacle.
The amount of diffraction is determined by the wavelength of the light and the size of the opening or obstacle.
