Induced emf A current can be produced by a changing magnetic flux

Magnetic Flux A loop of wire is in a uniform magnetic field B The loop has an area A The flux is defined as ΦB = BA = B A cos θ θ is the angle between B and the normal to the plane SI units of flux are T m² = Wb (Weber)

Magnetic Flux The value of the magnetic flux is proportional to the total number of lines passing through the loop When the area is perpendicular to the lines, the maximum number of lines pass through the area and the flux is a maximum When the area is parallel to the lines, no lines pass through the area and the flux is 0

Faraday’s Law For a single loop For N tightly wound up loops Since ΦB = B A cos θ, the change in the flux, ΔΦ, can be produced by a change in B, A or θ. Thus, the induced electromotive force can be produced by changing B, A or θ, or their combinations.

emf induced by changing magnetic field

QUICK QUIZ 20.1 The figure below is a graph of magnitude B versus time t for a magnetic field that passes through a fixed loop and is oriented perpendicular to the plane of the loop. Rank the magnitudes of the emf generated in the loop at the three instants indicated (a, b, c), from largest to smallest.

Motional emf, changing A A straight conductor of length ℓ moves perpendicularly with constant velocity through a uniform field The electrons in the conductor experience a magnetic force F = q v B The electrons tend to move to the lower end of the conductor

Motional emf, cont The potential difference between the ends of the conductor can be found by ΔV = B ℓ v A potential difference is maintained across the conductor as long as there is motion through the field If the motion is reversed, the polarity of the potential difference is also reversed

Motional emf in a Circuit The induced, motional emf, acts like a battery in the circuit

QUICK QUIZ 20.3 You wish to move a rectangular loop of wire into a region of uniform magnetic field at a given speed so as to induce an emf in the loop. The plane of the loop must remain perpendicular to the magnetic field lines. In which orientation should you hold the loop while you move it into the region of magnetic field in order to generate the largest emf? (a) With the long dimension of the loop parallel to the velocity vector; (b) With the short dimension of the loop parallel to the velocity vector. (c) Either way—the emf is the same regardless of orientation.

Faraday’s Law and Lenz’ Law The negative sign in Faraday’s Law is included to indicate the polarity of the induced emf, which is found by Lenz’ Law The polarity of the induced emf is such that it produces a current whose magnetic field opposes the change in magnetic flux through the loop The induced current tends to maintain the original flux through the circuit

Lenz’ Law Revisited – Moving Bar Example As the bar moves to the right, the magnetic flux through the circuit increases with time because the area of the loop increases The induced current must in a direction such that it opposes the change in the external magnetic flux

Lenz’ Law, Bar Example The bar is moving toward the left The magnetic flux through the loop is decreasing with time The induced current must be clockwise to to produce its own flux into the page

Lenz’ Law, Moving Magnet Example A bar magnet is moved to the right toward a stationary loop of wire (a) As the magnet moves, the magnetic flux increases with time The induced current produces a flux to the left, so the current is in the direction shown (b)

Lenz’ Law, Final Note When applying Lenz’ Law, there are two magnetic fields to consider The external changing magnetic field that induces the current in the loop The magnetic field produced by the current in the loop

Applications of Faraday’s Law – Electric Guitar A vibrating string induces an emf in a coil A permanent magnet inside the coil magnetizes a portion of the string nearest the coil As the string vibrates at some frequency, its magnetized segment produces a changing flux through the pickup coil The changing flux produces an induced emf that is fed to an amplifier

AC Generators As the loop rotates, the magnetic flux through it changes with time This induces an emf and a current in the external circuit The ends of the loop are connected to slip rings that rotate with the loop Connections to the external circuit are made by stationary brushed in contact with the slip rings

AC Generators If the loop rotates with a constant angular speed, ω, and N turns ε = N B A ω sin ω t ε = εmax = NBAω when loop is parallel to the field ε = 0 when when the loop is perpendicular to the field

(a) If there are 1 000 turns on the loop, what is the maximum voltage induced in the coil? (b) When the maximum induced voltage occurs, what is the orientation of the loop with respect to the magnetic field? Using, emax = NBA w =1000 (0.2T) (0.10m2) (120 p rad/s) = 7.5 103 V Plane of the loop is parallel to the magnetic field

DC Generators Components are essentially the same as that of an ac generator The major difference is the contacts to the rotating loop are made by a split ring, or commutator

DC Generators The output voltage always has the same polarity The current is a pulsing current

Self-inductance Self-inductance occurs when the changing flux through a circuit arises from the circuit itself As the current increases, the magnetic flux through a loop due to this current also increases The increasing flux induces an emf that opposes the current As the magnitude of the current increases, the rate of increase lessens and the induced emf decreases This opposing emf results in a gradual increase of the current

Energy Stored in a Magnetic Field PEL = ½ L I2

Conceptual question 13. If the current in an inductor is doubled, by what factor does the stored energy change?

Problem 20-56 A novel method of storing electrical energy has been proposed. A huge underground superconducting coil, 1.00 km in diameter, would be fabricated. It would carry a maximum current of 50.0 kA through each winding of a 150-turn Nb3Sn solenoid. If the inductance of this huge coil is 50.0 H, what is the total energy stored? (b) What is the compressive force per meter length acting between two adjacent windings 0.250 m apart? (Hint: Because the radius of the coil is so large, the magnetic field created by one winding and acting on an adjacent turn can be considered to be that of a long, straight wire.)

Review questions 1. A heavy permanent magnet is moving toward a current carrying circular loop of wire. Which is correct? The coil will push or pull the magnet just as hard as the magnet pulls or pushes the coil. The magnet pushes harder on the coil than the coil pushes on the magnet because the magnet is more massive than the coil. The magnet will push or pull on the coil, but the coil will not push or pull on the magnet at all because the coil is not a magnet.
