P Moving Towards Dipole As ring approaches, what happens to flux? Flux up increases Move ring down

P PRS Question: Faraday’s Law

P PRS: Faraday’s Law: Loop A coil moves up from underneath a magnet with its north pole pointing upward. The current in the coil and the force on the coil: :00 1.Current clockwise; force up 2.Current counterclockwise; force up 3.Current clockwise; force down 4.Current counterclockwise; force down

P PRS Answer: Faraday’s Law: Loop The I dl x B force on the coil is a force which is trying to keep the flux through the coil from increasing by slowing it down (Lenz’s Law again). Answer: 3. Current is clockwise; force is down The clockwise current creates a self-field downward, trying to offset the increase of magnetic flux through the coil as it moves upward into stronger fields (Lenz’s Law).

P PRS Question: Loop in Uniform Field

P PRS: Loop in Uniform Field A rectangular wire loop is pulled thru a uniform B field penetrating its top half, as shown. The induced current and the force and torque on the loop are: v B out 1.Current CW, Force Left, No Torque 2.Current CW, No Force, Torque Rotates CCW 3.Current CCW, Force Left, No Torque 4.Current CCW, No Force, Torque Rotates CCW 5.No current, force or torque 0

P PRS Answer: Loop in Uniform Field The motion does not change the magnetic flux, so Faraday’s Law says there is no induced EMF, or current, or force, or torque. Of course, if we were pulling at all up or down there would be a force to oppose that motion. Answer: 5. No current, force or torque v B out

P22 - Group Problem: Changing Area Conducting rod pulled along two conducting rails in a uniform magnetic field B at constant velocity v 1.Direction of induced current? 2.Direction of resultant force? 3.Magnitude of EMF? 4.Magnitude of current? 5.Power externally supplied to move at constant v?

P Part 1: Current & Flux Current? Flux? I > 0 BLACK RED

P PRS Predictions: Flux & Current

P PRS: Flux Measurement Moving from above to below and back, you will measure a flux of: (A) (C) (B) (D) 1.A then A 5. B then B 2.C then C 6. D then D 3.A then C 7. B then D 4.C then A 8. D then B

P PRS Answer: Flux Measurement Answer: 6. D then D The direction of motion doesn’t matter – the field and hence flux is always upwards (positive) and it increases then decreases when moving towards and away from the magnet respectively. (D)

P PRS: Current Measurement Moving from above to below and back, you will measure a current of: (A) (C) (B) (D) NOTE: CCW is positive! 1.A then A 5. B then B 2.C then C 6. D then D 3.A then C 7. B then D 4.C then A 8. D then B

P PRS Answer: Current Measurement Answer: 2. C then C The direction of motion doesn’t matter – the upward flux increases then decreases so the induced current will be clockwise to make a downward flux then counterclockwise to make an upward one. (C) NOTE: CCW is positive!

P PRS: Flux Behavior Moving from below to above, you would measure a flux best represented by which plot above (taking upward flux as positive)? (1) (3) (2) (4) NOTE: Magnet “Upside Down” :0

P PRS Answer: Flux Behavior Answer: 2. The field is downward so the flux is negative. It will increase then decrease as you move over the magnet. (2)

P PRS: Current Behavior Moving from above to below, you would measure a current best represented by which plot above (taking counterclockwise current as positive)? (1) (3) (2) (4) NOTE: Magnet “Upside Down”

P PRS Answer: Current Behavior Answer: 1. The field is downward so the current will first oppose it (CCW to make an upward flux) then try to reinforce it (CW to make a downward flux) (1)

P PRS Question: Wrap-Up Faraday’s Law

P PRS: Circuit A circuit in the form of a rectangular piece of wire is pulled away from a long wire carrying current I in the direction shown in the sketch. The induced current in the rectangular circuit is 1.Clockwise 2.Counterclockwise 3.Neither, the current is zero 0

P PRS Answer: Circuit B due to I is into page; the flux through the circuit due to that field decreases as the circuit moves away. So the induced current is clockwise (to make a B into the page) Answer: 1. Induced current is clockwise Note: I ind dl x B force is left on the left segment and right on the right, but the force on the left is bigger. So the net force on the rectangular circuit is to the left, again trying to keep the flux from decreasing by slowing the circuit’s motion

P PRS Question: Generator

P PRS: Generator A square coil rotates in a magnetic field directed to the right. At the time shown, the current in the square, when looking down from the top of the square loop, will be 1.Clockwise 2.Counterclockwise 3.Neither, the current is zero 4.I don’t know :00

P PRS Answer: Generator Flux through loop decreases as normal rotates away from B. To try to keep flux from decreasing, induced current will be CCW, trying to keep the magnetic flux from decreasing (Lenz’s Law) Answer: 1. Induced current is counterclockwise Note: I ind dl x B force on the sides of the square loop will be such as to produce a torque that tries to stop it from rotating (Lenz’s Law).

P Transmission of Electric Power Power loss can be greatly reduced if transmitted at high voltage

P Example: Transmission lines An average of 120 kW of electric power is sent from a power plant. The transmission lines have a total resistance of 0.40 . Calculate the power loss if the power is sent at (a) 240 V, and (b) 24,000 V. (a) (b) 83% loss!! % loss

P Group Discussion: Transmission lines We just calculated that I 2 R is smaller for bigger voltages. What about V 2 /R? Isn’t that bigger? Why doesn’t that matter?

P Self Inductance

P Self Inductance What if we forget about coil 2 and ask about putting current into coil 1? There is “self flux”: Faraday’s Law 

P Calculating Self Inductance 1.Assume a current I is flowing in your device 2.Calculate the B field due to that I 3.Calculate the flux due to that B field 4.Calculate the self inductance (divide out I) Unit: Henry

P Group Problem: Solenoid Calculate the self-inductance L of a solenoid (n turns per meter, length, radius R) REMEMBER 1.Assume a current I is flowing in your device 2.Calculate the B field due to that I 3.Calculate the flux due to that B field 4.Calculate the self inductance (divide out I)

P Energy in Inductors

P Inductor Behavior I Inductor with constant current does nothing L

P Start with “uncharged” inductor 2.Gradually increase current. Must work: 3.Integrate up to find total work done: Energy To “Charge” Inductor

P Energy Stored in Inductor But where is energy stored?

P Example: Solenoid Ideal solenoid, length l, radius R, n turns/length, current I : Energy Density Volume

P Energy Density : Magnetic Energy Density : Electric Energy Density Energy is stored in the magnetic field!

P Group Problem: Coaxial Cable 1.How much energy is stored per unit length? 2.What is inductance per unit length? HINTS:This does require an integral The EASIEST way to do (2) is to use (1) Inner wire: r = a Outer wire: r = b X I I

P PRS Questions: Inductor in a Circuit Stopping a Motor

P PRS: Stopping a Motor Consider a motor (a loop of wire rotating in a B field) which is driven at a constant rate by a battery through a resistor. Now grab the motor and prevent it from rotating. What happens to the current in the circuit? 1.Increases 2.Decreases 3.Remains the Same 4.I don’t know :20

P PRS Answer: Stopping a Motor Answer: 1. Increases When the motor is rotating in a magnetic field an EMF is generated which opposes the motion, that is, it reduces the current. When the motor is stopped that back EMF disappears and the full voltage of the battery is now dropped across the resistor – the current increases. For some motors this increase is very significant, and a stalled motor can lead to huge currents that burn out the windings (e.g. your blender).

P Think Harder about Faraday

P PRS Question: Faraday in Circuit

P PRS: Faraday Circuit A magnetic field B penetrates this circuit outwards, and is increasing at a rate such that a current of 1 A is induced in the circuit (which direction?). R=100  R=10  A B The potential difference VA-VB is: V V V V V V V V 9.None of the above 0

P PRS Answer: Faraday Circuit Answer: 9. None of the above The question is meaningless. There is no such thing as potential difference when a changing magnetic flux is present. R=100  R=10  A B By Faraday’s law, a non-conservative E is induced (that is, its integral around a closed loop is non-zero). Non-conservative fields can’t have potentials associated with them.

P Non-Conservative Fields R=100  R=10  E is no longer a conservative field – Potential now meaningless I=1A

P Kirchhoff’s Modified 2nd Rule If all inductance is ‘localized’ in inductors then our problems go away – we just have:

P Inductors in Circuits Inductor:Circuit element with self-inductance Ideally it has zero resistance Symbol:

P BUT, EMF generated by an inductor is not a voltage drop across the inductor! Ideal Inductor Because resistance is 0, E must be 0!

P Need Some Math: Exponential Decay

P Exponential Decay Consider function A where: A decays exponentially:

P Exponential Behavior Slightly modify diff. eq.: A “decays” to A f :

P This is one of two differential equations we expect you to know how to solve (know the answer to). The other is simple harmonic motion (more on that next week)

P LR Circuit Solution to this equation when switch is closed at t = 0: (units: seconds)

P LR Circuit t=0 + :Current is trying to change. Inductor works as hard as it needs to to stop it t=∞:Current is steady. Inductor does nothing.

P PRS Question: Voltage Across Inductor

P22 - PRS: Voltage Across Inductor 119 In the circuit at right the switch is closed at t = 0. A voltmeter hooked across the inductor will read: I don’t know 0

P PRS Answer: V Across Inductor The inductor “works hard” at first, preventing current flow, then “relaxes” as the current becomes constant in time. Although “voltage differences” between two points isn’t completely meaningful now, we certainly can hook a voltmeter across an inductor and measure the EMF it generates.

P LR Circuit t=0 + :Current is trying to change. Inductor works as hard as it needs to to stop it t=∞:Current is steady. Inductor does nothing. Readings on Voltmeter Inductor (a to b) Resistor (c to a) c
