Induction

Electromagnetic Induction

Faraday’s Law

  • Whenever the flux of magnetic field through the area bounded by a closed conducting loop changes, and emf in produced in the loop.

  • EMF induced (E):
    E=dΦdt

  • Flux (Φ):
    Φ=BdS=BAcosθ

Lenz’s Law

  • The direction of induced current is such theat it opposes the change that has induced it.

Motional EMF

  • EMF in a conductor moving with velocity v in magnetic field B:
    E=vBl

Induced Electric Field

  • Induced electric field E around a loop: Edl=dΦdt

Eddy Current

  • Electromagnetic damping.
  • Circular currents induced in conductors due to changing magnetic flux.
  • i|dΦdt|.

Self-Induction

  • Φ=Li

  • Induced EMF (E) in coil due to its own current I:
    E=Ldidt

Inductors

Self-Inductance of a Long Solenoid

  • L=μ0n2Al

  • n: Turns per unit length,
    A: Cross-sectional area,
    l: Length of solenoid.

Growth and Decay of Current in an LR Circuit

  1. Growth:
    i=i0(1et/τ)
  2. Decay:
    i=i0et/τ
  3. Time constant (τ):
    τ=LR

At t=τ,
Growth: i=i0(11e)=0.63i0
Decay: i=i01e=0.37i0

Energy Stored in an Inductor

  • Energy (U): U=12Li2

Energy Density in a Magnetic Field

  • B=μ0ni

  • u=B22μ0

Mutual Induction

  • Mutual Inductance (M):
    M=μ0N1N2Al

  • Induced EMF E2 in coil2 due to change in current i1 in coil1:
    E2=Mdi1dt
