Study Notes
Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction
- Relative motion between a magnet and a coil is not necessary for inducing electromotive force (emf).
- Faraday demonstrated that a stationary coil (C1) can exhibit induced emf when connected to a galvanometer, while a second stationary coil (C2) is powered by a battery.
- When the circuit key (K) is pressed, a momentary deflection is observed in the galvanometer, indicating induced current.
- Holding the key causes the galvanometer to return to zero, and releasing it creates deflection in the opposite direction.
Faraday's Law Equation
- The induced emf (ε) is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux (ΦB) through a circuit:
- ( ε = - \frac{dΦB}{dt} )
- The negative sign indicates that the induced current opposes the change in magnetic flux.
Enhancing Induced emf
- To achieve a larger deflection in experiments:
- Insert a soft iron rod inside coil C2.
- Use a more powerful battery.
- Increase the speed of relative motion between coils.
- Replacing the galvanometer with a small bulb can demonstrate induced current visually.
Example Studies
- Example 6.2: A square loop with resistance in a magnetic field experiences induced emf when the magnetic field decreases over time:
- Initial magnetic flux can be calculated using the angle and magnitude of the magnetic field.
- Results in an induced emf of 1.0 mV and current of 2 mA.
- The Earth's magnetic field does not induce emf due to its steadiness.
Lenz’s Law
- Proposed by Heinrich Friedrich Lenz, which states:
- The induced emf will create a current opposing the change in magnetic flux that produced it.
- The negative sign in Faraday's equation reflects this opposition.
Energy Conversion
- Mechanical energy used to move a conductor in a magnetic field is transformed into electrical energy and then thermal energy, dissipated as Joule heat.
- The relationship between charge flow (ΔQ), induced emf, and magnetic flux is established through Faraday's law.
Additional Example
- Example 6.8: While moving a rectangular conductor arm in and out of a uniform magnetic field:
- Expressions for magnetic flux, induced emf, required force, and power dissipation as Joule heat can be derived based on the arm's distance moved and resistance characteristics.
Key Concepts
- Electromagnetic induction is a crucial principle in electricity generation and motor operation.
- Observing the behavior of emf and current in circuits offers insights into electromagnetic properties and energy conversion processes.
