Card 1Magnetic Flux

Calculate the magnetic flux linked with a circular loop of area 0.5 m² placed perpendicular to a magnetic field of 2 T.

Answer

Given: A = 0.5 m², B = 2 T, θ = 0° (perpendicular means flux is maximum) Formula: Φ_B = BA cos θ Step 1: Identify the angle between B and normal to surface: θ = 0° Step 2: Apply the formula: Φ_B = 2

Card 2Faraday's Law

State Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction and write its mathematical expression.

Answer

Faraday's Law states: Whenever magnetic flux linked with a closed circuit changes, an emf is induced in the circuit. The magnitude of induced emf is equal to the negative time rate of change of magnet

Card 3Lenz's Law

Why does Lenz's law always oppose the change causing electromagnetic induction? Explain with the principle of energy conservation.

Answer

Lenz's law states that the direction of induced current is such that it always opposes the cause responsible for its production. Energy Conservation Principle: When a magnet approaches a coil, the in

Card 4Motional EMF

A conducting rod of length 0.5 m moves with velocity 4 m/s perpendicular to a magnetic field of 0.8 T. Calculate the motional emf induced across the rod.

Answer

Given: l = 0.5 m, v = 4 m/s, B = 0.8 T, θ = 90° (perpendicular motion) Formula: ε = Blv sin θ (For perpendicular motion: sin 90° = 1) Step 1: Check that rod moves perpendicular to field: θ = 90° Ste

Card 5Self-Induction

What is self-inductance? How does it affect current changes in a circuit?

Answer

Self-inductance (L) is the property of a conductor or coil to generate emf due to change in current flowing through itself. Definition: Self-inductance is the flux linkage produced per unit current:

Card 6Self-Inductance of Solenoid

Calculate the self-inductance of a solenoid with 500 turns, length 0.4 m, cross-sectional area 0.01 m², and relative permeability of core μᵣ = 800.

Answer

Given: N = 500 turns l = 0.4 m A = 0.01 m² μᵣ = 800 μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m Formula: L = μ₀μᵣn²Al Where n = N/l = number of turns per unit length Step 1: Calculate turn density: n = N/l = 500/0.4 = 1250

Card 7Mutual Inductance

Define mutual inductance and explain how it enables transformer operation.

Answer

Mutual Inductance (M) is the ability of one coil to induce emf in a neighboring coil through changing magnetic flux. Definition: Mutual inductance is the flux linkage in secondary coil per unit chang

Card 8Mutual Inductance Calculations

Two coils have a mutual inductance of 0.5 H. If the current in primary coil changes from 2 A to 8 A in 0.1 s, find the emf induced in secondary coil.

Answer

Given: M = 0.5 H i₁(initial) = 2 A i₁(final) = 8 A Δt = 0.1 s Formula: ε₂ = -M(di₁/dt) Step 1: Calculate rate of change of current: di₁/dt = (i₁(final) - i₁(initial)) / Δt di₁/dt = (8 - 2) / 0.1 = 6
