State Faraday law
- Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction states that the magnitude of the electromotive force (EMF) induced in a conducting loop is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the loop.
- The direction of the induced EMF is such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it.
- Mathematically, Faraday's law can be expressed as:
ε = -dΦ/dt
where:
- ε is the induced EMF
- Φ is the magnetic flux through the loop
- dΦ/dt is the rate of change of magnetic flux
Proof e = -dB/dt
- From Faraday's law, we know ε = -dΦ/dt, where Φ = B * A
- Substituting Φ = B * A in the Faraday's Law equation, we get: ε = -d(B * A)/dt
- Assuming that the area of the loop is constant, we can write the above equation as: ε = -A * dB/dt
- Therefore, the induced EMF is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic field strength.
Define 1 Ampere
- One ampere is defined as the constant current that, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed one meter apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 x 10⁻⁷ newtons per meter of length.

- l is the length of the solenoids
AC through LCR Circuit
- An LCR circuit is an electrical circuit containing a resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor.
- When an alternating current (AC) is passed through an LCR circuit, the current and voltage are not in phase with each other.
- The phase difference between the current and voltage depends on the values of resistance, inductance, and capacitance in the circuit.
- The impedance of an LCR circuit is given by:
Z = √(R² + (ωL - 1/ωC)²)
where:
- Z is the impedance of the circuit
- R is the resistance
- ω is the angular frequency of the AC source
- L is the inductance
- C is the capacitance
Resonance
- Resonance occurs in an LCR circuit when the inductive reactance (ωL) is equal to the capacitive reactance (1/ωC), and the impedance of the circuit is minimum.
- At resonance, the current in the circuit is maximum and the circuit behaves like a purely resistive circuit.
- The resonant frequency of an LCR circuit is given by:
f₀ = 1 / 2π√(LC)
where:
- f₀ is the resonant frequency
- L is the inductance
- C is the capacitance
Transformer - principle, working type, and most important numerical
- A transformer is an electrical device that uses electromagnetic induction to change the voltage of an alternating current (AC) supply.
- It consists of two coils of wire wound around a common iron core.
- The coil connected to the AC supply is called the primary coil, and the coil connected to the load is called the secondary coil.
- The principle of a transformer is based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.
- When an alternating current flows through the primary coil, it creates a changing magnetic flux in the iron core.
- This changing magnetic flux induces an EMF in the secondary coil.
- The voltage induced in the secondary coil is directly proportional to the number of turns in the secondary coil.
- There are two types of transformers: step-up and step-down.
- A step-up transformer increases the voltage, while a step-down transformer decreases the voltage.
- The ratio of the number of turns in the primary and secondary coils determines the voltage ratio of the transformer.

Compound microscope
- A compound microscope is an optical instrument consisting of two convex lenses, the objective lens and the eyepiece lens, used to magnify small objects.
- The objective lens produces a real, magnified image of the object, which then acts as the object for the eyepiece lens.
- The eyepiece lens further magnifies this image and produces a virtual, erect image at a comfortable distance for viewing.
- The total magnification of a compound microscope is given by the product of the magnification of the objective lens and the magnification of the eyepiece lens.
Lens Maker formula
- The Lens Maker formula is a formula used to calculate the focal length of a lens in terms of its radii of curvature and the refractive index of the material of the lens:
1/f = (n - 1) * (1/R₁ - 1/R₂)
where:
- f is the focal length of the lens
- n is the refractive index of the lens material
- R₁ is the radius of curvature of the first surface of the lens
- R₂ is the radius of curvature of the second surface of the lens
ite = S + A
- This equation relates the incident radiant power (i) to the transmitted radiant power (te) and the sum of the absorbed (S) and reflected (A) radiant powers.
- It states that the total incident radiant power is equal to the sum of the transmitted, absorbed, and reflected radiant powers.
Telescope
- A telescope is an optical instrument used to view distant objects.
- It consists of two lenses: the objective lens and the eyepiece lens.
- The objective lens collects light from the distant object and forms a real, inverted image at its focal plane.
- The eyepiece lens further magnifies this image and produces a virtual, erect image at a comfortable distance for viewing.
- The magnification of a telescope is given by the ratio of the focal length of the objective lens to the focal length of the eyepiece lens.
I = neAvd
- This equation is the formula for drift velocity and electrical current, where:
- I is the current
- n is the number density of charge carriers
- e is the charge on each charge carrier
- A is the cross-sectional area of the conductor
- vd is the drift velocity of the charge carriers
Proof I = σ x E
- The current density (J) is defined as the current per unit area, i.e., J = I / A.
- Ohm's law states that the current density is proportional to the electric field, i.e., J = σ * E, where σ is the conductivity of the material.
- Combining these two equations, we get I = σ * E * A.
Define internal emf & terminal potential
- The internal emf (electromotive force) of a cell is the maximum potential difference that the cell can provide when no current is flowing through it.
- It is the potential difference across the terminals of the cell when the cell is not connected to any external circuit.
- The terminal potential difference (V) of a cell is the potential difference across the terminals of the cell when a current is flowing through it.
- It is less than the internal emf because some of the energy is lost due to the internal resistance of the cell.
State Kirchoff law and numerical
- Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) states that the algebraic sum of currents entering a junction in an electrical circuit is equal to the algebraic sum of currents leaving the junction.
- Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) states that the algebraic sum of the potential differences around any closed loop in an electrical circuit is zero.
- Numericals involving Kirchhoff's laws usually involve solving a system of linear equations to find the unknown currents and voltages in the circuit.
Properties of EM wave
- Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves that consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation of the wave.
- They can travel through vacuum as well as through various mediums, such as air, water, and glass.
- Some key properties of electromagnetic waves include:
- They travel at the speed of light in vacuum, which is approximately 3 x 10⁸ m/s.
- They carry energy and momentum.
- They are polarized, meaning that the electric field oscillates in a specific direction.
- They can be reflected, refracted, diffracted, and interfered.
- The frequency and wavelength of an electromagnetic wave are related by the equation: c = fλ, where c is the speed of light, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength.
Modified Ampere Circuit law

- The modified Ampère's circuit law, which accounts for the changing electric fields, states that the line integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop is equal to the sum of the enclosed current and the rate of change of electric flux through the loop.
Displaced current and their characteristics
