Faraday’s Law of InductionFaraday’s Law of Induction

The voltage induced in a coil The voltage induced in a coil is proportional to the number is proportional to the number of coils times the magnetic of coils times the magnetic flux (rate at which the flux (rate at which the magnetic field changes)magnetic field changes)

SolenoidsSolenoidsThe magnetic field of a solenoid is essentially identical to The magnetic field of a solenoid is essentially identical to

that of a bar magnet.that of a bar magnet.

The big difference is that we can turn the solenoid The big difference is that we can turn the solenoid onon and and off off ! It attracts/repels other permanent magnets; it ! It attracts/repels other permanent magnets; it attracts ferromagnets, etc.attracts ferromagnets, etc.

In fact, a typical car has over 20 solenoids!

Solenoids are everywhere!

Thanks to

MRI /MRI / NMR NMRIf we “bathe” the protons in radio waves at a particular frequency, the protons can flip back and forth.

If we detect this flipping hydrogen!

The presence of other molecules can partially shield the applied magnetic field, thus changing the resonant frequency (“chemical shift”).

Looking at what the resonant frequency is what molecules are nearby.

If a strong magnetic field gradient is produced across the sample, can look at individual slices, with ~millimeter spatial resolution. B

Small Blow freq.

Bigger Bhigh freq.

Signal at the right frequency only from this slice!
