 Conservation of Energy
The law of conservation of energy states that the
total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it
is said to be conserved over time.
 Energy Conversion
• Energy Conversion is defined as the process where there is a
change in energy from one form to another such as
the conversion of nuclear energy into heat energy,
the conversion of light energy into heat, thermal energy into
work etc.
• Conversions to thermal energy from other forms of energy
may occur with 100% efficiency. Conversion among non-
thermal forms of energy may occur with fairly high efficiency,
though there is always some energy dissipated thermally due
to friction and similar processes.
Electromagnetic Induction

PRINCIPLES OF ELECTROMAGNETIC
INDUCTION
 Faraday’s Experiment
 Michael Faraday showed that electricity
can be obtained from magnetism.
 The current produced in this way is
called an induced current.
 The process by which the current is obtained
is called electromagnetic induction.

Electromagnetic Induction
Electromagnetic Induction
  When a magnet is
plunged into the
coil, the
galvanometer
pointer gave a
momentary
deflection

Electromagnetic Induction
  Moving out the
magnet out form
the coil, the
galvanometer
gave another
deflection

Electromagnetic Induction
  No current was
induced if the
magnet was
allowed to remain
at rest inside or
outside the coil.

Electromagnetic Induction
  Whenever there was a relative movement
between magnet and coil, there was induced
current.
 The current was induced in the circuit as a result
of the wire being cut by magnetic flux lines when
either the magnet or coil moved.
 An electromotive force is induced whenever
there is a changing magnetic flux in a circuit.
