  1. Chapter 31 Faraday’s Law

  2. Introduction • This section we will focus on the last of the fundamental laws of electromagnetism, called Faraday’s Law of Induction • Michael Faraday 1791-1867 • Determined Laws of Electrolysis • Invented electric motor, generator, and transformer.

  3. Introduction • In this chapter we will look at the processes in which a magnetic field (more importantly, a change in the magnetic field) can induce an electric current.

  4. 31.1 Faraday’s Law of Induction • An emf and therefore, a current can be induced in a circuit with the use of a magnet. • The magnetic field by itself is not capable of inducing a current.

  5. 31.1 • A change in the magnetic field is necessary. • As the magnet is moved towards the current loop a positive current is measured.

  6. 31.1 • As the magnet is moved away from loop a negative current is measured. • Note that this also applies to stationary magnets and moving coils.

  7. 31.1 • Here is the basic setup of actual experiment conducted by Faraday to confirm this phenomenon.

  8. 31.1 • With the use of insulated wires, the first circuit and battery is completely isolated from the second circuit with the ammeter. • With the 1st circuit open, there is no reading in the ammeter. • With the 1st circuit closed, there is no reading in the ammeter.

  9. 31.1 • The instant the switch is open, the ammeter needle deflects to one side and returns to zero. • The instant the switch is closed the ammeter needle deflects to the opposite side and returns to zero.

  10. 31.1 • So its not the magnetic field that induces the current, but the change in magnetic field. • Faraday’s Law of Induction • The emf induced in a circuit is directly proportional to the time rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit.

  11. 31.1 • If the circuit is a coil with N number of loops of the same area, then • Assuming a uniform magnetic field the magnetic flux is equal to BAcosθ so

  12. 31.1 • So there are several things that change if there is going to be an induced current. • The magnitude of B can change with time. • The area enclosed by the loop can change with time. • The angle , between B and the area vector can change with time. • Any combination of the above.

  13. 31.1 • Quick quizzes p. 970-971 • Applications of Faraday’s Law • GFI- induced current in the coil trips the circuit breaker.

  14. 31.1 • Electric Guitar Pickups- the vibrating metal string induces a current in the coil.

  15. 31.1 • Example 31.1, 31.2

  16. 31.2 Motional EMFs • Motional EMF- induced in a conductor moving through a constant magnetic field. • Consider a conductor length ℓ, moving through a constant magnetic field B, with velocity v.

  17. 31.2 • The first thing we notice is that any free electrons (charge carriers) will feel a magnetic force as per FB = qv x B • This will leave one end of the conductor with extra electrons, and the other with a deficit. • This creates an electric field within the conductor which enacts a force on the electrons opposite of the magnetic force.

  18. 31.2 • The forces up and down will balance giving • The electric field is associated with the potential difference and the length of the conductor • This potential difference is maintained as long as the conductor continues to move with velocity v through the field.

  19. 31.2 • A more interesting example occurs when the conducting bar is part of a closed circuit. • We assume zero resistance in the bar. • The rest of the circuit has resistance R.

  20. 31.2 • With the magnetic field present, and the conducting bar free to slide along the conducting rails, the same potential difference or EMF is produced, which drives a current through the circuit.

  21. 31.2 • This is another example of Faraday’s law where the induced current is proportional to the changing magnetic flux (increasing area). • Because the area at any time is A = ℓx, the magnetic flux is given as

  22. 31.2 • From Faraday’s Law, the EMF will be

  23. 31.2 • From this result and Ohm’s law, the induced current will be • The source of the energy is the work done by the applied force.

  24. 31.2 • Quick Quizzes p 975 • Ex 31.4, 31.5

  25. 31.3 Lenz’s Law • Faraday’s Law indicates that the induced emf and the change in flux have opposite signs. • This physical effect is known as Lenz’s Law • The induced current in a loop is in the direction that creates a magnetic field that opposes the change in magnetic flux through the area enclosed by the loop.

  26. 31.3 • We will look at the sliding conductor example to illustrate. • In this picture the magnetic flux is increasing. • Since the magnetic field is into the page, the current induced creates a magnetic field out of the page.

  27. 31.3 • If we switch the direction of travel for the bar, the flux through the loop is decreasing. • The current is induced to oppose that change and creates additional magnetic field into the page.

  28. 31.3 • We can examine the bar magnet and loop example again.

  29. 31.3

  30. 31.3 • Quick Quizzes p. 979 • Conceptual Example 31.6 • Induced Current • The instant the switch closes • After a few seconds • The instant the switch is opened.

  31. 31.4 Induced EMF and Electric Fields • An E-field within a conductor is responsible for moving charges through circuit. • Since Faraday’s law discusses induced currents, we can claim that the changing magnetic field creates an E-field within the conductor.

  32. 31.4 • In fact, a changing magnetic field generates an electric field even without a conducting loop. • The E-field is however non-conservative unlike electrostatic fields. • The work to move a charge around the loop is given as

  33. 31.4 • The electric field in the ring is given as • Knowing this and the fact that • We can apply Faraday’s Law to get

  34. 31.4 • So if we have B as a function of time, the induced current can easily be determined. • The emf for any closed path can be given as the line integral of E.ds so Faraday’s Law is often given in the general form

  35. 31.4 • The most important conclusion from this is the fact that a changing magnetic field, creates and electric field. • Quick quiz p 982 • Example 31.8

  36. 31.5 Generators and Motors • Faraday’s Law has a primary application in Generators and Motors • AC Generator- • Work is done to rotate a loop of wire in a magnetic field. • The changing magnetic flux creates an emf that alternates between positive and negative.

  37. 31.5

  38. 31.5 • If we look at our rotating loop, the flux through single turn is given as • And assuming a constant rotational speed of ω, • Where θ = 0 at t = 0.

  39. 31.5 • If we have more than 1 loop, say N loops, then Faraday’s Law gives the emf produced as

  40. 31.5 • The maximum emf produced is given as • When ωt = 90o and 270o • Omega is named the angular frequency and is given as ω = 2πf, where f is the frequency in Hz. • Commercial generators in the US operate at f = 60 Hz.

  41. 31.5 • Quick Quiz p. 984 • Example 31.9 • DC Generators • Operation very similar two AC Generators • Instead of 2 rings, a DC generator uses one split ring, called a commutator.

  42. 31.5 • Commutator flips the polarity of the brushes in sync with the rotating loop, ensuring all emf is of one sign. • While the emf is always positive, it pulses with time.

  43. 31.5 • Pulsing DC current is not suitable for most applications, so multiple coil/commutator combos oriented at different angles are used simultaneously. • By superimposing the emf pulses, we get a very nearly steady value.

  44. 31.5 • Motors- Make use of electrical energy to do work. • Generator operating in reverse- • Current is supplied so a loop in a magnetic field. • The torque on the loop causes rotation which can be applied to work.

  45. 31.5 • The problem is we also have an emf induced because the magnetic flux changes as the loop rotates. • From Lenz’s law this emf opposes the current running through the loop and is typically called a “Back emf”

  46. 31.5 • When the motor is initially turned on the back emf is zero. • As it speeds up the back emf increases. • If a load is attached to the motor (to do work) the speed will drop and therefore back emf will as well. • This draws higher than normal current from the voltage source running the motor.

  47. 31.5 • If the load jams the motor, and it stops the motor can quickly burn out, from the increased current draw. • Example 31.10

  48. 31.6 Eddy Currents • Eddy Current- A circular current induced in a bulk piece of conductor moving through magnetic field.

  49. 31.6 • By Lenz’s law the induced current opposes the changing flux and therefore creates a magnetic field on the conductor, that opposes the source magnetic field. • Because of this the passing conductor behaves like an opposing magnetic and the force is resistive.
