Study Notes
Magnetic Induction
Definition
Magnetic induction is the production of an electric current in a conductor when it is placed in a changing magnetic field.
Faraday's Law of Induction
- States that the magnitude of the induced electromotive force (EMF) is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux through a closed loop
- Mathematically expressed as: ε = -N(dΦ/dt)
- ε: induced EMF
- N: number of turns of the coil
- Φ: magnetic flux
- t: time
Lenz's Law
- States that the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the change in the magnetic field
- Used to determine the direction of the induced current
Factors Affecting Induction
- Change in magnetic field: A changing magnetic field is necessary for induction to occur
- Magnetic flux: The amount of magnetic field that passes through a given area
- Number of turns: Increasing the number of turns of the coil increases the induced EMF
- Orientation: The orientation of the coil relative to the magnetic field affects the induced EMF
Applications
- Generators: Convert mechanical energy into electrical energy through magnetic induction
- Transformers: Use magnetic induction to transfer energy between two circuits
- Induction coils: Used in devices such as metal detectors and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines
