  4. INDUCTANCE DETERMINING INDUCTANCE • Determine the magnetic field caused by the current I in the conductor. • Find the magnitude of the flux through each coil of the conductor: • Calculate the total flux linkage: m = Nper coil(All current-carrying conductors produce inductance, but only solenoids produce enough flux and have enough turns/coils to produce significant inductance.) • Determine the inductance: • Problem-solving strategy: • (Note: An ideal inductor has zero resistance.)

  5. INDUCTANCE INDUCTANCE OF A SOLENOID The flux through each coil is:per coil = AB The total flux linkage is: And since , the inductance of a solenoid is:

  6. – + VL INDUCTANCE VOLTAGE ACROSS AN INDUCTOR While the current through an inductor is steady there is no potential drop across it (R =0), but changingthe current… changes the flux… which induces a current… in the same coil! (Hence the term self-induction.) As current increases in the coil, the induced current tends to “hold up” positives at the inflow, creating an electric field and hence a potential difference across the inductor: induced current induced field increasing current “back emf” , so…

  7. – + VL INDUCTANCE VOLTAGE ACROSS AN INDUCTOR When the switch is opened, to oppose the decreasing flux in the solenoid, the induced current flows in the same direction as the decreasing current and thus establishes induced current induced field safetyR decreasing current a “forwards” potential difference across the inductor. Since the induced emf is proportional to the rate of change of current, a rapid decrease in even a modest amount of current can produce a very high potential difference across switch contacts, leading to sparking – which may or may not be desirable.

  8. INDUCTANCE VOLTAGE ACROSS AN INDUCTOR Notes • We use the above in conjunction with Lenz’s law. • The induced emf is proportional to the rate of change of current. It is always zero for constant I. • The induced current opposes the change in the input current –not the current itself. • The net effect of an inductor is to make it difficult to change the current. An inductor passes DC seamlessly, but blocks AC, and is thus sometimes referred to as a choke.

  9. INDUCTANCE ENERGY STORED IN AN INDUCTOR The rate at which current supplies energy to an inductor is: The rate at which this energy is stored in the inductor is: i.e. the increase in energy during a time interval dt is: Hence the total amount of energy required to increase the current through the inductor from zero to I is: i.e. (Cf: )

  10. INDUCTANCE ENERGY DENSITY OF A MAGNETIC FIELD As a capacitor stores energy in its electric field, so an inductor actually stores energy in its magnetic field. For a solenoid: …where is the field inside the solenoid, Hence the magnetic field energy density, uB, inside a solenoid is: (Cf: )

  11. INDUCTANCE RL CIRCUITS a In circuits containing both resistors and inductors, current strength varies with time. I.e. RL circuits are time dependent. – b decreasingI + At switch over from a to b, energy stored in the inductor allows it to act like a battery for a short period of time. Applying Kirchhoff’s loop law: i.e. or: L/R=L istheinductivetimeconstantforaparticularcircuit. …and solving for I: Hence:

Applying Kirchhoff’s loop law: solving which for I we get:
