A credit card’s number, expiration date, and

cardholder name are coded into a magnetized pattern

in a stripe on the back. When the card is “swiped”

through a card reader, the moving stripe bathes the

reader’s circuitry in a varying magnetic field that

induces current in the circuits. These currents transmit

the information in the stripe to the cardholder’s bank.

“What would happen if the card were not swiped, but

just sat motionless in the reader’s slot?”

MAGNETIC FLUX

The magnetic flux streaming through an area is also referred to as the flux linked with that area. It also representsthe number of magnetic lines of induction passing through that area.

Let A!

= a small plane area, represented as a vector normal to its plane,

B!

= magnetic induction of the magnetic field at the site of A!

(considered to be uniform over A!

)then φ∆ = the magnetic flux linked with A

!

Where θ = angle between A!

and B!

= A B⋅! ! (dot product of A

!and B!

)= (A) (B) (cos θ )

Note : Magnetic flux is a scalar quantity. If the area is not in one plane, we can still determine the total fluxthrough the area, considering continuous small area elements d A

!which are reasonably plane and then

summing up or integrating the flux elements through these area.=φ total flux through the area A

BA!!

⋅Σ∆= or φ = B. dA∫!!

ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION

Whenever the magnetic flux linked with an electric circuit or loop changes, an emf is induced in the circuit .Thisphenomenon is called electro-magnetic induction.There are three laws concerning this phenomenon. These are Faradays 1st and IInd Laws and Lenzs Law.The three laws can be summarized in one equation given by

Instantaneous induced emf in the loop = (the rate of change of magnetic flux φ)

⇒ Emf Induced = ( )φ−dtd

The negative sign only shows that the induced emf tends to oppose the very cause of its generation i.e. change ofmagnetic flux inducing the emf.If the circuit is closed, a current starts flowing through it. Such current, in turn, produces a magnetic field whosedirection is such that it opposes the very change of original magnetic field or flux. However, if the circuit is notclosed, the induced emf cannot set up a current in the circuit. Even then the current that would have resulted dueto the change of flux is in same direction as for the closed loop.

INTRODUCTION

W e know that electric current produces magnetic field. But the mutual relationship ofelectricity and magnetism does not stop here. We shall see that under certain conditionsa magnetic field can be used to produce an electric current. No current is induced in

a loop of wire that is stationary in a constant magnetic field. However, if the magnetic fieldchanges with time, or if the wire loop moves across or is rotated in the field, a current is inducedin the wire.The use of this interrelationship of electricity and magnetism are legion. One of the familiarexample is in the playing of a casette tape. The music you hear was encoded as tiny variations ina magnetic field. These variations produce electrical impulses, which are amplified and drivethe speakers. The speakers, in turn, utilize electromagnetic interactions to translate the electricalimpulses back into audible sound.

FLEMING’S RIGHT HAND RULE

This simple rule helps to determine the direction of the induced emf in a straight conductor moving with a velocityperpendicular to the length of the conductor and also perpendicular to the magnetic field. The rule is as givenbelow:(a) Stretch the thumb and the first finger of the right hand, perpendicular to each other, keeping both in the plane

of the palm.(b) Stretch the second finger (middle finger) perpendicular to the palm.(c) Orient the outstretched thumb such that it represents the direction of the velocity (motion).(d) Orient the first finger so that it represents the direction of the magnetic field.(e) Then the second finger will represent the direction of the induced emf

i.e. First finger → field, thumb → motion, second finger → Current (induced)

INDUCED CHARGE DUE TO FLUX CHANGE

When the magnetic flux lined with a closed circuit of known resistance changes, the induced emf tends to set upa current in the circuit i.e. the charges flow in directed motion to set up the current. Let the total charge flow be

q∆ .

Then q∆ = tI∆ Rt

It may be noted that the flow of charge does not depend on the rate at which magnetic flux is changed. It ratherdepends on the total flux change.

ROTATION OF A COIL IN A MAGNETIC FIELD—EMF INDUCED

When a plane coil (having N turns) of area A each, rotates in a uniform magnetic field (B) with a constant angularvelocity ( ω) about an axis coinciding with the plane of the coil and perpendicular to the uniform magnetic field(B) the emf induced (e) in the coil as a function of time t is given by e = NAB sin (ωt)

The induced emf in the coil is sinusoidal. When the plane of the coil is parallel to B!

, the induced emf is maximum.When the plane is perpendicular to B

!, the induced emf is zero.

Example 1 :

Determine the magnitude of the emf generated between the ends of the axle of a railway carriage, 1 m in length,when it is moving with a velocity of 36 km/hr along a horizontal track, given horizontal component of Earthsmagnetic field BH = 4 × 105 Tesla and angle of dip δ = 60o.

Solution :

Note : When the carriage runs over the horizontal track, the axle sweeps a horizontal area and hence it sweepsmagnetic flux created by vertical component of Earths magnetic induction (BV).

BV = BH tan θ= (0.4 × 104) (tan 60o) = 0.6928 × 104 Tl = 1 mv = 36 km/hr = 10 m/s

Then, the induced emf across the ends of the axlee = l BVv

= (1) ( )4-100.6928 325 ×

= 5.773 × 104 Volt

B = 0.6 T

Solution:

(a) At t = 2 s, the loop is partly inside the magnetic field. Hence emf = Bvl = 0.6T × 0.01 m/s × 0.05 m = 3 × 104 volt.

(b) At t = 10 s, the loop is fully inside the magnetic field. As the field is uniform therefore no emf is generated.

(c) At t = 20 s, the loop just starts coming out of the magnetic field. So at t = 22 s, it is partly inside and partlyoutside the field & also it is moving. Hence

emf = Bvl = 0.6 T × 0.01 m/s × 0.05 m = 3 × 104 volt

(d) At t = 30 s, the loop is fully outside the magnetic field. Therefore, no emf is generated.

It may be used that the current generated in the loop at t = 2s is anticlock wise, whereas t = 22 s, the currentis clockwise.

Solution :

(a) As the loop moves in a uniform magnetic field, net emf induced in the loop is zero.(b) Part bc of the loop is a straight wire and its length is perpendicular to the velocity. Hence emf. Vbc = Bvl.

Here Vb < Vc, so that end b is negative compared to end c i.e. Vb Vc = Bvl.(c) Part ac has length parallel to velocity so, net emf Vac = 0.(d) Part ab moves such that its length makes θ with its velocity v.

So Vab = Bv(l1) sin θ (where l1 = l length of ab = l sin θ )

Since ω = constant, the above equation indicates the emf is steady when the loops is just partly or justcompletely inside the magnetic field

(ii) The induced emf reverses its direction after when the loop enters into or emerges out of the magnetic fieldi.e., the direction reverses every half revolution.When area inside the field is increasing, the current will be anitclockwise so as to produce a magnetic fieldupwards.By Lenzs Law, this upward magnetic field attempts to neutralise. But when the loop is coming outof the field, area is decreasing, the current direction is oppsoite i.e. clockwiseTherefore we can write as below, a single expression for induced emf.

SELF INDUCTION

When electric current flowing through a coil (or a solenoid) changes, the magnetic field inside the coil changesproportionally. Due to this, flux linked with the coil also changes. This change of flux causes an induced emf in thesame coil. This induced emf has a tendency to oppose the change of flux and thereby oppose the change ofcurrent.Let =φ flux linked with the coil

I = current in the coil

Then I∝φ

and LI=φ

Here L is a constant of proportionality and is called coefficient of self induction or self inductance. Its S.I. unit is Henry.

So, 1 Henry = Ampere 1 Weber1

Also, dtdIL

dtd =φ

⇒ Induced emf e = dtdI L−

Here sign appears because induced emf is in such a direction that it opposes the change of current. Forexample, if the current in the circuit is increasing, the induced emf tends to produce current in opposite direction,so that the growth of current is effectively opposed.

Self inductance of a long solenoid

Let a solenoid be quite long (practically infinite). Let its cross section be A, length be l and no of turns per unitlength be n. On passing current i through the solenoid,

Then flux through each turn is inAB 0µ=⋅=φ A

MUTUAL INDUCTION

If two electric circuits are arranged in such a manner that the magnetic field due to the current in one circuit ispartly or wholly linked with the other circuit, the two circuits are said to be electro-magnetically coupled circuits.Then, if the current in one circuit changes, the magnetic field inside the circuit changes. Therefore, magnetic fluxlinked with the other circuit also changes. Hence the latter opposes the change of magnetic flux within itself byinducing an emf in itself. Thus change of current in one circuit causes induced emf in the other circuit. Thisphenomenon is called Mutual Induction.The circuit in which the current is made to change is called the primary circuit, whereas the circuit, whichopposes the change of current in the primary is called the secondary circuit.The induced emf in the secondary, due to the change of current in the primary is called mutually induced emf.The coefficient of mutual induction between two coupled circuits is the magnetic flux linked with the secondary,per unit current in the primary.It is also called Mutual inductance. Let

i1 = current in the primary

2φ = the magnetic flux linked with the secondary due to i1 current in the primary.Then 2 1MIφ =

2e (induced emf in the secondary) 2d dt

=− φ

⇒ e2 = M dtdI1

Similarly if current I2 in the secondary circuit changes, it causes a change in flux linked with the primary, andthereby an emf is induced in the primary. Then,

21 MI=φ

and e1 = dtd 2φ−

⇒ e1 = M dtdI2

Note : For a given alignment (i.e., electromagnetic coupling) of the pair of circuits, M is a constant.The coefficient of mutual indcution between two given elecro-magnetically coupled circuit can also be defined asthe induced emf in one circuit per unit rate of change of current in other circuit.SI (MKS) unit of the coefficients of self-induction (L) and mutual induction (M) is the same i.e., 1 henry or 1 H.

GROWTH AND DECAY OF CURRENT IN L-R CIRCUIT (TRANSIENT STAGE)

(a) Growth of current in LR circuit :

Consider a coil of a conductor having a self inductance only, a source of constantpotential difference, a pure resistor and an open key in a closed series circuit. LetV0 = the steady p.d. of the sourceR = pure resistance in the circuitL = pure self inductance in the circuit

2R L

V0

Key

When the key K is open, there is no current in the circuit. Let at time t = 0, the key be closed (i.e., switched on).The source tends to set up a current in the circuit, which the self-inductor opposes, by self inducing an oppositeemf in the circuit. The steady source maintains its p.d. and gradually overcomes the opposition of self inductance.During this interval the inductors opposition weakens, the current grows and finally attains a steady value. Letthis steady value be I0.

Wattless Current or Idle Current

If the voltage and current differ in phase by π/2, the power factor is cos 90o = 0. Although current flow throughthe circuit, but it carries no power. Such a current is called wattless current. The energy metre cannot registerenergy charges in such cases although an ammeter will show such current.

CHOKE COIL

A choke coil is an inductance coil having a large number of turns of thick insulated copper wire. It has practicallyzero resistance. It plays the same role in AC circuit as does a resistance in DC circuit.When alternating current is passed in a choke coil, a self induced emf is set up in the coil by virtue of self-induction.

R

By Lenzs law, this induced emf opposes the flow of current and thus works as a resistance in AC circuit [Lenzslaw].Instead of choke coil, we may use resistance to control alternating current. But then there will be a lot of wastageof electrical power on account of Joule heating. On other hand, the power consumed by choke coil is nearly zero.Thus choke coil is preferred over resistance to control alternating current.The chokes are also extensively used in power supplies, battery eliminators, radios, TV sets etc. Radio frequencychokes i.e. high frequency chokes have air core while audio frequency chokes i.e. low-frequency chokes have aniron core.

TRANSFORMER

A transforer is a device, for stepping up or down an alternating voltage. Its works on the principle of mutualinduction. It consists of a primary coil wound over a soft iron cylindrical core, with the secondary coil wound overother part of the same soft iron core and insulated from each other as well as from the soft iron core. The soft ironcore has a permeability µ ,nearly 103 times the permeability of free space. The soft iron core helps in increasingeffiiciency of the transformer.

In an ideal transformer, the magnetic field B due to the curernt in the primary circuit is completley linked with thesecondary. Then

B = the common magnetic induction in the two coils.

A = area of either coils ( as They are wound on the same core)

N1 = number of turns in the primary

N2 = number of terms in the secondary

i1 = current in the primary

i2 = current in the secondary.

then

1φ = (Linked magnetic flux in the primary) = N1AB

2φ = (Linked magnetic flux in the secondary) = N2AB

When the curent i1 varies, there is self induced emf in secondary which is e2

then

upon the direction of current. As net current or average current is zero, so the galvanometer shows zerovalue for an a.c. current flow.
