Induced Voltages and Inductance

2. Induced emf A current can be produced by a changing magnetic field
First shown in an experiment by Michael Faraday
A primary coil is connected to a battery
A secondary coil is connected to an ammeter

3. Faraday’s Experiment
The purpose of the secondary circuit is to detect current that might be produced by the magnetic field
When the switch is closed, the ammeter deflects in one direction and then returns to zero
When the switch is opened, the ammeter deflects in the opposite direction and then returns to zero
When there is a steady current in the primary circuit, the ammeter reads zero

4. Faraday’s Conclusions
An electrical current is produced by a changing magnetic field
The secondary circuit acts as if a source of emf were connected to it for a short time
It is customary to say that an induced emf is produced in the secondary circuit by the changing magnetic field

5. Magnetic Flux
The emf is actually induced by a change in the quantity called the magnetic flux rather than simply by a change in the magnetic field
Magnetic flux is defined in a manner similar to that of electrical flux
Magnetic flux is proportional to both the strength of the magnetic field passing through the plane of a loop of wire and the area of the loop

6. Magnetic Flux, 2 You are given a loop of wire
The 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

7. Magnetic Flux, 3
When the field is perpendicular to the plane of the loop, as in a, θ = 0 and ΦB = ΦB, max = BA
When the field is parallel to the plane of the loop, as in b, θ = 90° and ΦB = 0
The flux can be negative, for example if θ = 180°
SI units of flux are T m² = Wb (Weber)

8. Magnetic Flux, final
The flux can be visualized with respect to magnetic field lines
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

9. Electromagnetic Induction – An Experiment
When a magnet moves toward a loop of wire, the ammeter shows the presence of a current (a)
When the magnet is held stationary, there is no current (b)
When the magnet moves away from the loop, the ammeter shows a current in the opposite direction (c)
If the loop is moved instead of the magnet, a current is also detected

10. Electromagnetic Induction – Results of the Experiment
A current is set up in the circuit as long as there is relative motion between the magnet and the loop
The same experimental results are found whether the loop moves or the magnet moves
The current is called an induced current because is it produced by an induced emf

11. Faraday’s Law and Electromagnetic Induction
The instantaneous emf induced in a circuit equals the time rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit
If a circuit contains N tightly wound loops and the flux changes by ΔΦ during a time interval Δt, the average emf induced is given by Faraday’s Law:

12. Faraday’s Law and Lenz’ Law
The change in the flux, ΔΦ, can be produced by a change in B, A or θ
Since ΦB = B A cos θ
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
That is, the induced current tends to maintain the original flux through the circuit

13. Applications of Faraday’s Law – Ground Fault Interrupters
The ground fault interrupter (GFI) is a safety device that protects against electrical shock
Wire 1 leads from the wall outlet to the appliance
Wire 2 leads from the appliance back to the wall outlet
The iron ring confines the magnetic field, which is generally 0
If a leakage occurs, the field is no longer 0 and the induced voltage triggers a circuit breaker shutting off the current

14. 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

15. Applications of Faraday’s Law – Apnea Monitor
The coil of wire attached to the chest carries an alternating current
An induced emf produced by the varying field passes through a pick up coil
When breathing stops, the pattern of induced voltages stabilizes and external monitors sound an alert

16. Application of Faraday’s Law – Motional emf
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

17. 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.

18. QUICK QUIZ 20.1 ANSWER
(b), (c), (a). At each instant, the magnitude of the induced emf is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic field (hence, proportional to the slope of the curve shown on the graph).

19. 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

20. Lenz’ Law, Bar Example, cont
The flux due to the external field in increasing into the page
The flux due to the induced current must be out of the page
Therefore the current must be counterclockwise when the bar moves to the right

21. Lenz’ Law, Bar Example, final
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

22. Lenz’ Law Revisited, Conservation of Energy
Assume the bar is moving to the right
Assume the induced current is clockwise
The magnetic force on the bar would be to the right
The force would cause an acceleration and the velocity would increase
This would cause the flux to increase and the current to increase and the velocity to increase…
This would violate Conservation of Energy and so therefore, the current must be counterclockwise

23. 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)

24. 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

25. Generators Alternating Current (AC) generator
Converts mechanical energy to electrical energy
Consists of a wire loop rotated by some external means
There are a variety of sources that can supply the energy to rotate the loop
These may include falling water, heat by burning coal to produce steam
