Questions and Answers

What is the direction of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying conductor?

The direction of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying conductor is determined by the right-hand rule. If you point your right thumb in the direction of the current flow, the direction of your curled fingers will indicate the direction of the magnetic field.

What is the magnitude of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire?

The magnitude of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is directly proportional to the current and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire. The formula is: $B = μ_0I / 2πr$, where B is the magnetic field strength, μ_0 is the permeability of free space, I is the current, and r is the distance from the wire.

What is the force exerted by a magnetic field on a current-carrying wire?

The force exerted by a magnetic field on a current-carrying wire is given by the formula: $F = I l B sin θ$, where F is the force, I is the current, l is the length of the wire, B is the magnetic field strength, and θ is the angle between the wire and the magnetic field.

What is magnetic flux?

<p>Magnetic flux is a measure of the total magnetic field lines passing through a given area. It's represented by the symbol Φ and is calculated as Φ = B⋅A, where B is the magnetic field strength and A is the area.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction?

<p>Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction states that the magnitude of the induced electromotive force (EMF) in a circuit is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit. The formula is: EMF = -dΦ/dt, where EMF is the electromotive force, Φ is the magnetic flux, and dt is the change in time.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Electromagnetic Induction

  • Electromagnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force (emf) across a conductor when it is exposed to a varying magnetic field.
  • A change in magnetic flux linked with a coil induces an emf in the coil. This emf is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linkage.
  • The direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the change that produces it (Lenz's Law).
  • The magnitude of the induced emf depends on the rate of change of magnetic flux, the number of turns in the coil, and the area of the coil.

Magnetic Flux

  • Magnetic flux is the number of magnetic field lines passing through a given area.
  • It is a scalar quantity.
  • Measured in Weber (Wb).
  • Magnetic flux through a surface is given by the product of the magnetic field strength and the area of the surface and the cosine of the angle between them.
  • Φ = BAcosθ

Magnetic Force on Current-Carrying Conductors

  • Parallel wires carrying current in the same direction attract each other.
  • Parallel wires carrying current in opposite directions repel each other.
  • The force per unit length between two parallel wires carrying currents I₁ and I₂ separated by a distance r is given by: F/L = μ₀I₁I₂ / 2πr, where μ₀ is the permeability of free space.

Lenz's Law

  • Lenz's Law states that the direction of an induced current is such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it.
  • This law is a consequence of the law of conservation of energy.

Faraday's Law

  • Faraday's law states that the magnitude of the induced emf is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linking the circuit.
  • Induced emf = -N (ΔΦ/Δt), where N is the number of turns in the coil, ΔΦ is the change in magnetic flux, and Δt is the time taken for the change.

Flux Linkage

  • Flux linkage is the product of magnetic flux and the number of turns in a coil.
  • It is a measure of the total magnetic flux threading a coil.
  • Flux linkage = NΦ, where N is the number of turns.
