Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction (First Law)

The induced electromotive force (emf) in a circuit is equal to the negative rate of change of magnetic flux through it.

Lenz's Law: Opposing Change

The direction of the induced current or emf is such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux that caused it.

Study Notes

Electromagnetic Induction

  • Magnetic Flux: The product of the magnetic field strength (B) and the area (A) of a surface perpendicular to the field. Measured in webers (Wb). Formula: Φ = B⋅A

  • Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction (First Law): A changing magnetic flux through a circuit sets up an induced electromotive force (emf) whose magnitude is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux.

Formula: ε = -ΔΦ/Δt

  • Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction (Second Law): The direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the change producing it (Lenz's Law).

  • Induced Current: If the circuit is closed, the induced emf will drive an induced current through the circuit.

Formula: I = ε/R (where R is total resistance)

Motional EMF

  • A moving conductor in a magnetic field experiences a motional EMF.

Formula: ε = Bvl

  • Where B is the magnetic field, v is the velocity of the conductor, and l is the length of the conductor in the field

Self-Induction

  • Self-Induction: The phenomenon of electromagnetic induction in a coil in which a changing current in the coil itself induces an opposing self-induced emf.

  • Coefficient of Self-Induction (Inductance): A property of a coil that measures the opposition it offers to changes in the current flowing through it. Represented by the symbol L. Measured in henries (H).

Formula: L = NΦ/I

Mutual Induction

  • Mutual Induction: The phenomenon of inducing an emf in one coil due to a change in current flowing in a nearby coil.

  • Coefficient of Mutual Induction (M): A measure of the degree to which two coils interact magnetically. Measured in henries (H).

Eddy Currents

  • Eddy Currents: Induced currents that circulate within a conductor in response to a changing magnetic field.

  • Disadvantages: Eddy currents generate heat, leading to energy loss and overheating.

  • Methods to Reduce Eddy Currents: Using laminated materials (thin layers insulated) or creating holes/slits to reduce the area available for eddy current flow. This limits current paths.
