Overview
Electromagnetic induction is the production of an emf when magnetic flux linked with a circuit changes. A changing magnetic field, relative motion between a magnet and a coil, or changing current in a nearby coil can all cause induction. The chapter builds the idea from magnetic flux to Faraday's la
Key Concepts
Magnetic flux through a plane
Magnetic flux through a plane in a uniform magnetic field is given by Φ = BA cosθ, where θ is the angle between the area vector and the magnetic field
Faraday's first law states that when
Faraday's first law states that when magnetic flux through a circuit changes, an emf is induced. The induced emf is e = -dΦ/dt for one turn and e = -N
The direction of induced emf
The direction of induced emf or current is such that it opposes the cause producing it. This is consistent with conservation of energy because otherwi
If a circuit of resistance R
If a circuit of resistance R is closed, induced current is I = e/R. The induced charge is q = IΔt = (N/R)ΔΦ. Thus induced emf and current depend on th
When a straight conductor of length
When a straight conductor of length l moves with velocity v perpendicular to a magnetic field B, charges experience Lorentz force and an emf V = Bvl i
Learning Objectives
- Define magnetic flux and explain how it depends on field strength, area, and orientation.
- State Faraday's first and second laws of electromagnetic induction and apply them correctly.
- Distinguish between induced emf, induced current, and induced charge.
- Explain motional emf in a moving conductor and use V = Bvl in calculations.
- Understand self-induction, self-inductance, and energy stored in an inductor.
