While there was relative motion between the loop and the magnet, we saw that there was a small current generated in the loop. What did you notice about the generated current when the direction of the magnet is reversed? The current direction changed. What do you suppose would happen if we inserted the magnet faster? The faster the relative motion, the more current is generated within the loop. What do you suppose would happen if we inserted the South pole of the magnet first? Again, the current direction changed. There are three ways to have relative motion between the conductor and the magnetic field: changing magnetic field, changing conductor size, and change of position (conductor or magnetic field source).

All Rights Reserved. 3 Induced emf WS 12 #6-10 In the first of the observed experiments, we discovered that a current is established when there is relative motion between the conduction electrons in the conducting ring and the magnetic fields of a magnet. We also observed that the amount of induced current is greater when the magnet is moved faster. Additionally, we observed that reversing the direction of motion of the magnet or reversing the poles of the magnet reverses the direction of the produced current. Either way, we had to do work on the system in order to observe this current. This work induced this current; therefore, we call this current induced current. This work done that produced this induced current is known as induced emf. Basically, we can say that changing magnetic fields in the vicinity of electrons causes these electrons to move thereby establishing an induced current. As a result, we can in many ways think of electrons as being “tiny magnets.”

Bulb one lit up, and bulb two blinked as the ammeter registered a counterclockwise current. What happens when the switch is opened? Bulb one goes out, and bulb two blinks again as the ammeter registers a clockwise current. What do you suppose caused the behavior we observed? Magnetism and Current

In the second of the observed experiments, we discovered that a current through one loop established a current in a second parallel loop. However, this current lasted only a short time. Why do you supposed it lasted only a short time. The current established in the second loop only exists when the magnetic field in the first loop is changing. Once this magnetic field stabilizes (stops changing), the electrons in the second loop cease flowing and bulb 2 went out. In the first experiment we concluded that there would be an induced current when there is relative motion between the conducting electrons and the magnetic field. In this experiment we saw that the electrons moved when they experienced a changing magnetic field. This second experiment shows us another form of induced emf.

This law states that an emf is induced in a wire loop whenever the number of magnetic field lines passing through that loop changes. This number of magnetic field lines, or the magnetic flux, changes whenever there is relative motion between the conducting electrons or whenever the magnetic field changes in the vicinity of these conducting electrons. We will begin deriving Faraday’s law below. We can define the magnetic flux in a similar way that we defined the electric flux.

Note that dA does not actually represent a physical body. In this problem, it is the area inside the coil of wire. The area in this problem is circular.

All Rights Reserved. 8 Faraday’s Law of Induction WS 12 #17-19 Faraday’s Law states that an emf is induced in a wire loop whenever the number of magnetic field lines passing through that loop changes. We have seen that this number changes when there is relative motion between the magnetic field and the conducting electrons and when the magnetic field itself changes. Since both of these actions occur over a period of time, this emf ( ) is the rate at which the magnetic field changes. The “N” in this equation is the number of turns in the coil. Our previous example has four turns.

However, his law did not specify the direction of this induced emf. Lenz’s law is used to determine the direction of this induced emf. Lenz’s law states that the magnetic field generated by the induced current opposes the change in the magnetic field that created the induced current. If the magnetic field of the magnet is increasing then the magnetic field generated by the induced current acts to oppose this increase. If the magnetic field of the magnet is decreasing then the magnetic field generated by the induced current acts to oppose this decrease.

The magnet moves into the ring with its North pole first. As a result, the magnetic field impacting the ring acts out of the plane of the board. Therefore, the induced magnetic field acting against the magnetic field of the bar magnet must act into the board inside the ring and out of the board on the outside of the ring. Using our right hand rule, we see that the induced magnetic field within the ring can only be established by a clockwise current. Lenz’s Law – Magnetism and Current

The battery would produce a clockwise current within the front loop. Would the magnetic field produced inside the front loop act into or out of the plane of the board? In which direction would the induced magnetic field in the back loop act? In which direction would the current flow through this back loop? Magnetism and Current WS 12 #25

What is the magnitude of the emf 0.4 s after the field is engaged. In which direction does the emf act? Lenz’s law states that the magnetic field generated by the induced current opposes the change in the magnetic field that created the induced current. In order to find the direction of the induced emf, point your right thumb in the direction of B IC and curl your fingers. The induced current is in the direction of your right fingers.
