Chapter 6: Electromagnetic Induction

1. Faraday’s Laws of Electromagnetic Induction

 First Law: A changing magnetic flux through a coil induces an electromotive force
(EMF) in it.
 Second Law: The magnitude of the induced EMF is directly proportional to the rate
of change of magnetic flux.

E=−dΦBdt\mathcal{E} = -\frac{d\Phi_B}{dt}E=−dtdΦB

where ΦB=B⃗⋅A⃗\Phi_B = \vec{B} \cdot \vec{A}ΦB=B⋅A is the magnetic flux.

 Lenz’s Law: The direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the change in
magnetic flux that caused it.

2. Motional EMF

 Definition: EMF induced when a conductor moves in a magnetic field.


 Formula: E=Blvsin⁡θ\mathcal{E} = B l v \sin \thetaE=Blvsinθ where BBB is the
magnetic field, lll is the length of the conductor, vvv is the velocity, and θ\thetaθ is
the angle between v⃗\vec{v}v and B⃗\vec{B}B.

3. Eddy Currents

 Definition: Circulating currents induced in bulk conductors when exposed to a


changing magnetic field.
 Applications: Magnetic braking, induction heating, energy meters.

4. Self-Inductance

 Definition: The property of a coil by which it opposes a change in current flowing


through it by inducing an EMF in itself.
 Formula:

EL=−LdIdt\mathcal{E}_L = -L \frac{dI}{dt}EL=−LdtdI

where LLL is the self-inductance.

 Inductance of a Solenoid:

L=μ0N2AlL = \mu_0 \frac{N^2 A}{l}L=μ0lN2A


where NNN is the number of turns, AAA is the area of cross-section, and lll is the
length of the solenoid.

5. Mutual Inductance

 Definition: The property of two coils by which a change in current in one coil induces
an EMF in the other coil.
 Formula: EM=−MdI1dt\mathcal{E}_M = -M \frac{dI_1}{dt}EM=−MdtdI1 where
MMM is the mutual inductance.

6. Energy Stored in an Inductor

 Formula: U=12LI2U = \frac{1}{2} L I^2U=21LI2

7. AC Generator

 Principle: Electromagnetic induction.


 Working: A coil rotates in a magnetic field, inducing an alternating EMF.
