Topics in Electromagnetic Induction

1

1. Core Idea and Discovery

  • Electricity and magnetism are closely related.
  • Around 1830, Faraday and Henry showed that electric currents are induced in closed coils when magnetic fields change.
  • Relative motion between a magnet and a coil, or between two coils, can produce induced current.
2

2. Experiments of Faraday and Henry

  • In Experiment 6.1, a bar magnet moved towards or away from coil C1 connected to galvanometer G causes deflection.
  • The direction of deflection reverses when the magnet is withdrawn.
  • Reversing the magnet pole also reverses the direction of deflection.
3

3. Magnetic Flux

  • Magnetic flux is a scalar quantity.
  • For a uniform magnetic field across a plane surface, flux depends on field strength, area, and angle.
  • For curved or nonuniform surfaces, flux is found by summing over small area elements.
4

4. Faraday's Law of Induction

  • The magnitude of induced emf equals the time rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit.
  • The negative sign in Faraday's law shows the direction of induced emf and current.
  • For a coil with N turns, the induced emf increases with N.

Key Concepts

Central concept: Electromagnetic induction is the generation of emf or current in a circuit due to a change in magnetic flux linked with it.
