ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION Definition of EMI: The phenomenon of induction of emf (and hence current) in a circuit due to change in ‘magnetic flux linked with it is called electro magnetic induction.

The induced emt lasts as long as the change in magnetic flux continues, | Foradoys Naw (1-14, M8, M16, M17) | Statements The magnitude of induced emf is directly proportional tothe rate of change of magnetic flux linked withthe ciruit, Explanation: If di, is the change in magnetic flux in a small time interval dt, the induced emf is given by &] dt le Lenz's law: This helps to find the direction of induced emf. ((M-IS, 1-16, M-17, J-18, M-14, M-20) Statement: The direction of induced current in a coil is such that it opposes the cause which is produces it. (It is based on law of conservation of energy) | Explanation: When a bar magnet with its north pole moved toward a col, the induced current flows in the | coil nearer to the magnet acts like north pole and hence the magnet is repelled. | | When the magnet is moved away from the coil, current Bel reverses its direction and there by the face acts like South Pole. a Due to this the magnet is attracted, magnet ge” bo _, sate of change of ux, = If € > isthe induced emf & ‘Then Eee Magnetic flux The magnetic flux, through a plane area d& placed in a uniform magnetic field B can be (5, = Bascost ‘Where 0 is the angle between Band ds lotional emf: The emf induced across the ends of the. ‘conductor, when it is moved across the magnetic field Liscalled motionalemf, (+17) | Derive an expression for Motional emf (Jel, M-15, J-16, M17) | Consider a long, straight conductor PQ fy P > length of a conductor 0 |y > velocity of conductor perpendicular to the magnetic field B wet x en x Me | Let the conductor moved through a distance dx in a small time interval dt, x aye x ee x |kle [dS = dx prea covered by the conductor xoxlc x x Whe i i ‘Fl | eoge x ce xtdx | ‘The change in magnetic flux across the conductor is dé = BdS = Bfdx. y olls q a i : dp _ Bld ‘The magnitude of the emf induced in the conductor is = # cae Since = & is the velocity of the conductor. it {&= Bév] This is the expression for motional emf Eddy currents: The induced circulating currents produced in a conductor due | to change in magnetic flux linked with it are called eddy currents. (M-14, J-15) Applications of Eddy currents: (I-17) Electromagnetic damping: This is used in dead beat galvanometers. Induction furnace: It is used to produce high temperatures and can be utilized to prepare alloys by melting the constituent metals. Magnetic brakes: Coupled with the wheel of the train is a metal drum which rotates as the train is running. Strong electromagnets are situated near the metal drums. When electromagnets are activated, eddy currents are set up in the drums which oppose the motion of the train. As the speed is reduced, eddy currents also reduced and the braking action is smooth. Induction motor: In an induction motor (AC motor), a rotating magnetic field produces strong eddy currents in a rotor. The rotor starts rotating in the direction of rotating magnetic field, Speedometer: In speedometer, a tiny magnet rotates according to the speed of the vehicle and | produces the required changing magnetic field. The magnet rotates in an aluminium drum. The eddy currents set up increases as the speed increases. Using calibrated scale, the speed of the vehicle can | | | be obtained. | Self induction: Itis the phenomenon in which an emf is induced in a coil due to the change in current in the | same coil. @-15) When a current flows through a coil the magnetic flux is proportional to the | current. lt ois the magnetic flux linked with a coil when a current I flows through it, | | Co-efficient of self induction (or) Self inductance [L]: then Where L -> is a constant, known as coefficient of self induction (or) self inductance of the coil. | When current in the coil changes, the magnetic flux linked with the coil also changes and emf is j induced in the coil. | The emf induced in the coil is ¢= Sa -_ LD at dt ‘This is the expression emf in terms of self- inductance of a coil.

The self-inductance of a coil depends upon no. of turns per unit length, area of cross-section and the length of the coil (I-18, M-19) 2. The self- induced emf always opposes any change in current in the circuit. Hence it is called back emf. Work needs to be done against this back emf in establishing the current.
