Lenz’s law: This law states that the induced EMF due to
change of flux linkage by a coil will produce a current in
the coil in such a direction that it will produce a magnetic
field which will oppose the cause, that is the change in flux
linkage.
Self-induced EMF and Mutually induced EMF
The EMF induced in a coil due to change in flux linkage
when a changing current flows through the coil is called
self-induced EMF.
L is called the coefficient of self inductance or simply self inductance of the coil.
Mutual Inductance
Consider two coils having N1 and N2 number of turns placed near each other as
shown in Fig
Similarly, if we calculate the induced EMF in coil 1, due to change in current
in coil 2, we can find the induced EMF e1 in coil 1 as
Since the two coils are connected in series, the same current flows through them.
Due to mutual inductance, the EMF induced in coil 1 due to
change in current in coil 2 and vice versa are expressed as
EMF induced in coil 1 due to change in current in coil 2 is
Now let the total equivalent inductance of the single circuit coil 1 and coil 2 as
they are connected as in be ‘Le’
Note:
If we use dot convention, it will not be required to know the way
the coils have been actually wound.
Example :The total inductance of two coils connected in series cumulatatively
is 1.6 H and connected differentially is 0.0.4 H. The self inductance of one coil
is 0.6 H. Calculate (a) the mutual inductance and (b) the coupling coefficient.
