Study Notes
Magnetic Induction
- Magnetic induction is the process by which a magnetic field induces an electric field.
- It is a fundamental concept in electromagnetism.
- Magnetic induction occurs when a conductor is placed in a changing magnetic field.
Faraday's Law of Induction
- Faraday's Law of Induction states that a changing magnetic flux through a loop of wire induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the loop.
- The law is often expressed mathematically as:
- ε = -N(dΦ/dt)
- where ε is the induced EMF, N is the number of turns in the loop, and Φ is the magnetic flux.
- The direction of the induced EMF is determined by Lenz's Law.
Electromagnetic Induction
- Electromagnetic induction is the process by which a changing magnetic field induces an electric field.
- It is the basis for many electric devices, including generators, motors, and transformers.
- Electromagnetic induction is a fundamental concept in the design of electrical systems.
Magnetic Force
- Magnetic force is the force exerted by a magnetic field on a moving charge or a current-carrying wire.
- The magnetic force on a moving charge is given by the Lorentz force equation:
- F = q(E + v x B)
- where F is the force, q is the charge, E is the electric field, v is the velocity, and B is the magnetic field.
- The magnetic force on a current-carrying wire is given by the Biot-Savart law:
- F = μI x B
- where F is the force, μ is the permeability, I is the current, and B is the magnetic field.
Key Concepts
- magnetic flux: the amount of magnetic field that passes through a given area
- electromotive force (EMF): the voltage induced in a conductor by a changing magnetic field
- Lenz's Law: the direction of the induced EMF is such that it opposes the change in the magnetic field
