  1. Last lecture Motional EMF This is the emf induced in a conductor moving through a magnetic field. Examples on sheet 10 • To change the magnetic flux we can change: • the magnitude B of the magnetic field within the coil • the area of the coil, or the portion of that area that lies within the magnetic field (eg expanding the coil or moving it in or out of the field) • the angle between the direction of the field B and the area of the coil (eg by rotation of the coil)

  2. Closed and open circuits An induced emf does not necessarily mean an induced current Bin increasing in strength Voltage across the gap = induced emf

  3. 27.6 Induced electric fields This electric field is a non-conservative field As the magnet moves, the magnetic flux through the loop is changing, and an emf is induced in the loop. An electric field must be present along the loop; it is needed to do the work of moving the conduction electrons. This electric field is produced by the changing magnetic flux. Another way of stating Faraday’s Law: A changing magnetic field produces an electric field

  4. Increasing the strength of the magnetic field at a steady rate • Faraday’s law Induced emf and induced current appear in ring • Lenz’s law Induced current is anti-clockwise The electric field is induced even if there is no copper ring

  5. As long as the magnetic field is increasing with time, the electric field will be present as circular lines (by symmetry). If the magnetic field is constant with time, there will be no electric field lines. If the magnetic field is decreasing with time, the electric field lines will be circles in the opposite direction A changing magnetic field produces an electric field

  6. Another way of stating Faraday’s Law Consider a particle of charge q0 moving around the circular path in figure. The work done in one revolution by the induced electric field isq0, where  is the induced emf, ie the work done per unit charge in moving the test charge around the path. Bchanging

  7. Another way of stating Faraday’s Law We can now expand the meaning of induced emf. This means that an induced emf can exist without the need for a current or a particle; it is the sum (by integration) of E.dl around a closed path. Which of the red loops has the largest induced emf? Faraday’s Law

  8. Two sorts of electric fields Electrostatic (conservative) Non-electrostatic (non-conservative)

  9. Maxwell hypothesised the existence of induced magnetic fields

  10. A self-sustaining electromagnetic wave

  11. A square conductor moves through a uniform magnetic field. Which of the figures shows the correct charge distribution on the conductor? Answer: (e) the magnetic force on a positive charge carrier is to the right

  12. A current-carrying wire is pulled away from a conducting loop in the direction shown. As the wire is moving, is there • a clockwise current • a counter-clockwise current • no current? Answer: A, as clockwise current increases flux into loop, opposing the decrease as wire moves.

  13. 27.4 Inductance • Mutual inductance occurs when a changing current in one circuit results, via changing magnetic flux, in an induced emf and thus a current in an adjacent circuit. • Mutual inductance occurs because some of the magnetic flux produced by one circuit passes through the other circuit.

  14. Transformers and power supplies • A transformer is a pair of coils linked by mutual inductance. • An AC current in the primary induces a current in the secondary. • The secondary voltage differs from the primary voltage by the ratio of the number of turns. • Both step-up and step-down transformers are possible. • Transformers are used to produce low voltages for electronic equipment. • Then they’re combined with diodes that convert AC to DC and capacitors to smooth the DC voltage.

  15. Transformers and power transmission • Electric power is most efficiently transmitted at high voltages. • This reduces I2R energy losses in the power lines. • But most end uses require lower voltages. • Transformers accomplish voltage changes throughout the power grid.

  16. 27.4 Inductance • Self-inductance occurs when a changing current in a circuit results in an induced emf that opposes the change in the circuit itself. • Self-inductance occurs because some of the magnetic flux produced in a circuit passes through that same circuit.

  17. 27.4 Inductance The current iin the circuit causes a magnetic field B in the coil and hence a flux through the coil. When the current changes, the flux changes also and a self-induced emf appears.

  18. Inductance The magnetic flux through a circuit is related to the current in that circuit and in other circuits nearby. For a coil carrying current I, there is a magnetic field produced around it. The value of B at each point is proportional to the current. Therefore the magnetic flux through the coil is also proportional to I: Constant of proportionality

  19. The potential difference across an Inductor

  20. Inductance Potential difference across a resistor depends on the current Potential difference across an inductor depends on the rate of change of the current

  21. This is how spark plugs work. The car’s generator sends a large current through the coil (inductor). A switch in the distributor is suddenly opened, breaking the current. The induced voltage, usually a few 1000 V, appears across the terminals of the spark plug, creating the spark that ignites the fuel.

  22. The potential at a is higher than the potential at b. Which of the following statements about the inductor current could be true? • I is from a to b and steady • I is from a to b and increasing • I is from a to b and decreasing • I is from b to a and steady • I is from b to a and increasing • I is from b to a and decreasing Answer: B and F, the potential decreases in the direction of increasing current, and increases in the direction of decreasing current.

  23. Magnetic Energy

  24. Magnetic Energy What is theenergydensity stored in an inductor? Exercise: Find this for a solenoid with N turns, area A, and length l.

  25. Magnetic Energy Need to find L for the solenoid. Revision: What is themagnetic flux through a solenoid of length l and N turns carrying current I?

  26. which leads to the result, true for all inductors:
