Lesson 1
Vibrational motion
Introduction
Periodic motion is motion of an object that regularly returns to a given position
after a fixed time interval, such as vibrational (oscillatory) motion and wave
motion.
The vibrational motion
Examples of vibration sources:
There are many forms of vibrating sources
1) Simple pendulum
2) Tuning fork.
3) Vibrating stretched string.
4) Weight attached to a vibrating spring
Solved example
A simple pendulum makes 1200 complete vibrations in a minute. In each complete
vibration it cuts a distance of 20 cm. Calculate:
a) The amplitude of the vibration of the pendulum
b) The frequency
c) Periodic time
The solution
Amplitude = 20/4 = 5 cm= 0.05m
Frequency = 1200/60 = 20 Hz
Periodic time = 60/1200 = 1/20 = 0.05 sec
Lesson 2
Wave motion
Introduction
Many of us enjoy watching waves on the surface of water
pushing a fishing float or a boat up and down, or even
making waves by throwing a pebble in a pond or still
water.Each pebble becomes a source of disturbance in the
water, spreading waves as concentric circles.
You encounter waves all the time in your daily life. For
example, you can see because of visible light waves and
hear because of sound waves.
Examples
Waves on the surface of liquid, sound waves, waves on stretched strings
Electromagnetic radiations, such as light, x-rays, radio waves, infrared and
ultraviolet radiation
Wave is a disturbance that propagates and transports energy in the direction of its
propagation through medium or space
Types of waves:
1- Mechanical waves
It is the disturbance that propagates through a medium, such as sound waves, water
waves
2- Electromagnetic waves:
It is the disturbance that propagates through a medium or space, such as light waves,
x- rays, radio waves and γ - rays.
CAUTION
Mechanical waves need a medium for their propagation
Electromagnetic waves do need a medium for their propagation
The important conditions for producing mechanical waves:
(1) A source of disturbance (vibrator) (oscillator).
(2) A medium that carries the disturbance.
(3) A disturbance transmitted from the source to the medium.
Relation between the frequency, the wave length and Velocity of Propagation:
v= λν
v: wave velocity (measured in meter/second )(m/s)
λ: wavelength of the wave (measured in meter)(m)
ν: frequency of the wave (measured in Hertz)(Hz)
Solved example
If the wavelength of a sound wave produced by audio source is 0.5m the frequency is
666 Hz, calculate the velocity of propagation of sound in air
The solution
v = λ ν = 0.5 × 666 = 333m/s
Solved example
From the opposite diagram ,find
a) The amplitude.
b) The frequency.
c) The wave length
d) The velocity.
The solution
Amplitude = 6 cm
Frequency = 1.5/0.06 = 25 Hz
Wavelength = 15/1.5 = 10 cm
v = λ ν = 0.1 × 25 = 2.5 m/s
Lesson 3
Light
Introduction:
Light is an electromagnetic wave that occupies a small range in the electromagnetic
spectrum that consists of radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet,
X-rays and γ-rays.
Light is an indispensible form of energy. The Sun is the main natural source of energy
to us. The energy from the Sun is almost divided between heat and light. Thanks to the
light from the Sun, the plants perform photosynthesis, hence make their own food.
Man depends on plants and animals, which in turn feed on plants. We have seen before
that sound has a wave nature. It propagates from a source causing mechanical waves in
the medium. Light also has a wave nature. It is subject to the laws of reflection,
refraction, interference and diffraction. But light is different from sound in that it does
not require a medium to propagate in. Light is part of an extensive range of waves
called electromagnetic waves, which all travel at a constant speed in space equal to
3 × 108 m/s, while varying in frequency.
Exercise
Two mirrors make an angle of 120° with each other,
as in Figure. A ray is incident on mirror M1 at an
angle of 60° to the normal. Find the angle the ray
makes with the normal to M2 after it is reflected
from both mirrors
v1 sin θ1
n12 = =
v2 sin θ2
2) The incident ray, refracted ray and the normal to the separating surface at the point
of incidence lie in the same plane
The absolute refractive index (n):
It is the ratio between the light speed in free space (air) (c = 3 × 108 m / s) to the light
speed in medium
c sin θair
n= =
v sin θmedium
The relative refractive index:
It is the ratio between the absolute refraction index of the second medium to the
absolute refraction index of the first medium.
n2 v1 sin θ1
𝒏𝟏𝟐 = = =
n1 v2 sin θ2
Snell’s law
n1 × sin θ1 = n2 × sin θ2
CAUTION
1) The definition of abspolute refractive index shows that the index of refraction is a
dimensionless number greater than unity because v is always less than c.
2) The relative refractive index may be more or less than one.
3) When light travels from denser medium (optically) to less dense medium, the
relative refractive index is smaller than one and vice versa.
4) By increasing the angle of incidence in first medium, the angle of refraction in the
second medium will increase.
Exercise
From the table Medium Refractive index
1- When light travels from air to glass, what will Air 1
happen to speed of light? Water 1.3333
2- When light travels from water to glass, what will Glass 1.5
happen to speed of light?
3- When light travels from glass to water, what will happen to speed of light?
4- Calculate the relative refractive index when light travels from glass to water
Lesson 4
Total internal reflection
The critical angle
(It is the angle of incidence in the denser medium (1st
medium) that corresponds to an angle of refraction in
the less dense medium (2nd medium) equal to 90°)
Solved problem
If the absolute refractive index of glass and water are 1.6 and 1.33, respectively,
calculate the critical angle for light falling from glass into water
The solution
Notes
1- The reflecting prism is preferred to metallic mirrors
a) Because in the reflecting prism, the reflection is 100%.
b) Also the metallic mirror may lose its luster and hence its ability to reflect decreases.
2- The reflecting face of the reflecting prism is covered with a thin layer of
Aluminum Fluoride (cryolite) or Magnesium
To minimize the loss of light in the reflecting prism, this material has refractive
index less than that of a glass

Measuring Heat
Introduction
The terms (temperature) and (heat) are often used interchangeably in everyday
language. In physics, however, these two terms have very different meanings.
We’ll define temperature in terms of how it’s measured and see how temperature
changes affect the dimensions of objects. We’ll see that heat refers to energy transfer
caused by temperature differences.
The concept of temperature is rooted in qualitative ideas of “hot” and “cold” based on
our sense of touch. A body that feels hot usually has a higher temperature than a
similar body that feels cold.
Temperature vs. Heat
Temperature depends on the physical state of a material and is a quantitative
description of its hotness or coldness.
Heat always refers to energy in transit from one body or system to another because of
a temperature difference,
Changing temperature:
Many properties of matter that we can measure depend on changing temperature such
as the length of a metal rod, steam pressure in a boiler, the ability of a wire to conduct
an electric current, and the color of a very hot glowing object.
Effect of temperature
1) Changing the state of matter
When the temperature increases, the material changes from solid state to liquid
state for example, change piece of ice into water.also change water from liquid
state into vapor state.
2) Most materials expand when their temperatures increase.
When matter gets hot (gain temperature), its molecules go faster and take up more
spaces and the solid, liquid or gas expands and vice versa.Rising temperatures make
the liquid expand in a liquid-in-tube thermometer ,the decks of bridges need special
joints and supports to allow for expansion.
Thermometers and the Temperature Scales
Thermometers are devices used to measure the temperature of a system. All
thermometers are based on the principle that some physical property of a system
changes as the system’s temperature changes.
Thermal equilibrium
“The state in which two bodies in physical contact with each other have identical
temperature”
Thermal equilibrium is the basis for measuring temperature with thermometers. By
placing a thermometer in contact with an object and waiting until the column of liquid
in the thermometer stops rising or falling, you can find the temperature of the object.
This is because the thermometer is in thermal equilibrium.
Caution
1) If two systems (or several systems) A and B are in thermal equilibrium, we say
they have the same temperature
2) If two systems (or several systems) A and B are not in thermal equilibrium, we say
they have different temperature
3) If two systems A, B each in thermal equilibrium, separately with a third system C,
then A, B are in thermal equilibrium, the third system may be a thermometer
Temperature scales and The relationships between the different temperature scales
There are three scales
1) the Celsius temperature scale (TC)
2) the Fahrenheit temperature scale (TF)
3) the Kelvin temperature scale (absolute temperature )(TK)
Converting Temperatures
To change from Celsius to Kelvin we use the relation
𝑻𝑲 = 𝑻𝒄 + 𝟐𝟕𝟑
To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, we use the relation
𝟗
𝑻𝑭 = ( × 𝑻𝒄 ) + 𝟑𝟐
𝟓
Temperature scales TC TF TK
o
The freezing temperature of pure water (ice point) 0 C 32 oF 273 K
The boiling temperature of pure water (steam point) 100 oC 212 oF 373 K
Exercise
1) On a day when the temperature reaches 50oF, what is the temperature in degrees
Celsius and in kelvins?
Application
To use temperature as a measure of hotness or coldness, we
need to construct a temperature scale. To do this, we can use
any measurable property of a system that varies with its
“hotness” or “coldness.the opposite Figure shows a familiar
system that is used to measure temperature.
Liquid thermometer
It is the common thermometer in everyday that consists of a
liquid (mercury or alcohol) inside a glass capillary tube. It is
based on the principle that is the regular change of the length
of liquid (volume of a liquid) column with temperature
i.e. Any temperature change in the range of the thermometer can be defined as being
proportional to the change in length of the liquid column.
Calculating the temperature that correspods the length of liquid column in the
thermometer
𝐋𝐭 − 𝐋𝟎 𝐕𝐭 − 𝐕𝟎
𝐭 = 𝟏𝟎𝟎 × = 𝟏𝟎𝟎 ×
𝐋𝟏𝟎𝟎 − 𝐋𝟎 𝐕𝟏𝟎𝟎 − 𝐕𝟎
Lt (Vt): the length (volume) of liquid column at temperature (t)
L0 (V0): the length (volume) of liquid column at 0 oC
L100 (V100): the length (volume) of liquid column at 100 oC
Caution:
1) Mercury thermometer cannot be used below the freezing point of mercury, which is
(-39oC), and an alcohol thermometer is not useful for measuring temperatures above
85oC, the boiling point of alcohol.
2) It is useful to distinguish between an actual temperature (t) and a difference or
change in temperature (Δ t). For Example, an actual temperature (t) of is stated as
20 oC, and a difference or change in temperature (Δ t) of is 20 oC. A beaker of water
heated from 30 oC to 50 oC undergoes a temperature change of 20 oC.
Actual temperatures are t1 = 30 oC, t2 = 50 oC. But difference or change in
temperature (Δ t) = 50 - 30 = 20 oC
Solved problem
If the length of mercury in a thermometer = 15 cm at the melting point of ice and the
length of mercury in a thermometer = 40 cm at the boiling point of water. Find the
temperature at which the length of mercury in a thermometer = 25 cm.
The solution

Lesson 2
Heat transfer
Introduction
1- When you put a cold spoon into a cup of hot coffee, the spoon warms up and the
coffee cools down as they approach thermal equilibrium. The interaction that
causes these temperature changes is fundamentally a transfer of energy from one
substance to another. Energy transfer that takes place because of a temperature
difference is called heat transfer, and energy transferred in this way is called heat.
2- It is well known that any material in the form of a solid, liquid or gas is composed
of molecules.
Thermal internal energy:
The Thermal internal energy of a body is the sum of the kinetic energy and potential
energy of its molecules.
Heat transfer
1) external heat is the thermal energy that is transmitted from the surrounding medium
to the material or vice versa
2) heat transfer may cause an increase in the internal thermal energy
3) heat transfer takes place if there is a difference in temperature
4) heat transfer takes place from the side of higher temperature to the side of lower
temperature
Note that the temperature of a body is a measure of its internal energy
Quantity of Heat (Qth)
𝐐𝐭𝐡 = 𝐦 𝐜 ∆𝐭
m : mass of the object
c : specific heat (it is a physical property of a material different for different materials
i.e. does not depend on mass of the object )
Δt : difference (change ) in temperature
Caution
1) Q and Δt can be either positive or negative. When they are positive, heat enters
the body (gain energy) and its temperature increases; when they are negative,
heat leaves the body (lose energy) and its temperature decreases.
2) If the temperature of a body is constant but different from that of surrounding
medium.Therefore ,the rate of the heat gained by the material equals the rate of
the heat lost by the material

Lesson 1
The electric current
Introduction
Materials are classified into 3 types according to their electrical conductivity:
1) Conductors
* They are the materials which allow electricity to flow easily through it
* Metals are conductors, such as copper, silver and gold.
* They contain large number of free electrons (rich in free electrons).
2) Insulators
* They cannot allow electricity to flow easily through it.
* Examples: wood, paper, plastics, and ceramics.
* They contain very few numbers of free electrons (poor in free electrons).
3) Semiconductors
* They are materials with conductivities somewhere between conductors and
insulators.
* Examples are silicon and germanium
Electric current
(It is the amount of charge flowing through a conductor)
(the flow of electric charges through any cross section of the conductor).
OR
It's the quantity of electricity (charges) in coulombs passing through any cross section
of the conductor
summary
the electric current is due to the movement of free electrons (charged particles) in a
conductor
The electric current intensity measured in Ampere (A) = coloumb per second (C/s) and
measured by the ammeter
Ampere: (It is the current intensity if the quantity of electricity passing through any
cross section of the conductor in one second is 1 coulomb)
OR
(It is the current flowing in a circuit if the rate of flow of charge 1C/s)
Lesson 2
The electric resistance
Ohm's Law deals with the relationship between the electric current intensity in a
conductor and potential difference across it

The current intensity flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the
potential difference across it at constant temperature

2) many materials do not obey Ohm's Law (The relationship is not linear) ( ≠

Lesson 3
Connection of resistors
There are two ways to connect multiple resistors to a voltage source one is called
series and the other is called parallel
Resistors are connected in series to obtain a higher resistance out of a group of
large resistances
Resistors connected in parallel to obtain a small resistance out of a group of large
resistances
Resistors in Series
1) The current through all the resistors is the
same
(I = I1 = I2 = I3)
2) The potential difference is split
(Vt = V1 + V2 +V3)
3) The equivalent resistance is greater than the
greatest resistance
𝐑 𝐞𝐪 = 𝐑 𝟏 + 𝐑 𝟐 + 𝐑 𝟑
Note that
1) The higher the resistance, the higher the potential difference
(V α R at constant the current)
2) If there are (N) equal resistances connected in series each equal to (R) (Req = NR)
Resistors in Parallel
1) The potential difference across each of them is the
same.
V= V1= V2 = V3
ItReq = I1R1 = I2R2 = I3R3
2) The current is split.
It = I1+I2+ I3
3) The equivalent resistance is smaller than the
smallest resistance

𝐑 𝐞𝐪 = 𝟏 𝟏 𝟏 𝐎𝐑 = + +

Note that
1) The higher the resistance, the lower the current that is flowing through it
(I α 1/R at constant the potential difference)
2) If there are (N) equal resistances are connected in parallel each equal to (R)
R

6 Ω and 3 Ω are in parallel R parallel R parallel 2 ohm
R1 R 2 63
Vt = It Rt 4 = It (2) It = 2A
Lesson 4
Ohm’s law for closed circuit
Introduction
In an electric circuit there must be a device somewhere in the loop that acts like the
water pump in a water fountain.The influence that makes current flow in the circuit is
called electromotive force (abbreviated emf). This is a poor term because emf is not a
force but an energy-per-unit-charge quantity
Electromotive force of the cell (emf)
(The total work done inside and outside the cell to transfer an electric charge of 1C in
the whole electric circuit)
Internal resistance (r) of the cell
Ideal source
The potential difference across an ideal source in a circuit is equal to the emf because
there is no internal resistance
Real source
The potential difference across a real source in a circuit is not equal to the emf because
there is an internal resistance that consumes part of energy due to movement of
charges through material of the source; therefore it experiences an associated drop in
potential equal to Ir.
The electric circuit
A simple electric circuit consists of
1) A battery (source of electrical energy)
2) Connecting wires
3) Fixed resistors ORvariable resistor (rheostat)
4) Switch (to allow or avoid the passage of current)
VB = I Req + I r = I (Req + r)
I = VB / (Req + r)
The last equation known as Ohm’s law for a closed circuit, from which we find that
the current intensity in a closed circuit is the emf of the total source divided by the
total (external plus internal) resistance of the circuit.
I Req =V = the terminal voltage
I r = the potential drop across the internal resistance
Caution
For real source the terminal voltage is less than the emf of the source due the potential
drop across the internal resistance
A battery has an emf of 12 V and an internal resistance of 0.05 Ω Its terminals are
connected to a load resistance of 3Ω
a) Calculate the current in the circuit and the terminal voltage of the battery.
b) Calculate the power dissipated by the load resistor.

The magnetic effect of electric current
Lesson number Subject page
Lesson 1 Magnetic field due to a current in
a conductor straight wire
Lesson 2 Magnetic field due to a current in a coil
Dear student, by the end of this chapter you should have the following skills and
knowlge
Identify the shape of magnetic field due to current in a straight wire, circular coil and
solenoid
Calculate the magnetic flux density at a point from a wire carrying current
Calculate the magnetic flux density at center of circular coil carrying current
Calculate the magnetic flux density at a point alond axis of the solenoid carrying
current
Identify the factors affecting the magnetic force acting on a straight wire carrying
current placed in a uniform magnetic field
Lesson 1
Magnetic field due to a current in a straight wire
Introduction
Every electric current produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field can be visualized
as a pattern of circular field lines surrounding the wire.
Early experiments:
In 1819, Oersted showed that an electric current was able
to cause a magnetic needle, placed close to a current-
carrying conductor, to be deflected.
When the electric current to flow in the conductor, a
magnetic needle placed above the conductor is deflected.
As soon as the current stops flowing, the needle returns to
its original position.
If the direction of the current is reversed, as in the diagram
on the right, the needle is deflected in the opposite
direction.
First: Magnetic field due to a current in a straight wire:-
We can examine the shape of magnetic field by using iron
fillings sprinkled on a paper surrounding the wire in a
vertical position,
The magnetic flux lines of around a straight wire carrying
current are concentric circles whose centers lie on the wire.
The circular magnetic flux lines are closer together near
the wire and farther apart from each other as the distance
from the wire increases. The current passing through the
wire increases, the concentric circles more crowded
The magnetic field density at a certain point can be
given by the following relation
μI
B
2πd
Where:
B: the magnetic field density (Tesla)
I: intensity of current passing through the wire (Ampere).
d: The distance of the point from the wire (meter).
µ: Permeability of medium (µair = 4π 10-7 Wb/m.A)
Note that
1- (The magnetic permeability (µ) is the ability of medium to penetrate the magnetic
flux lines).The measuring unit of magnetic permeability is Wb/m.A = Tesla.m/A
2- The magnetic flux density (B) is inversely proportional to d and directly
proportional to the intensity of electric current (I). This is why it is advisable to live
away from high voltage towers.
Solved problem
A wire is placed vertically on a horizontal paper sheet. A current of 8A passes through
it from above. Find the magnetic flux density at 4cm from the wire
(µ air = 4π 10-7 Wb/m.A)

magnetic field produced by that wire will be……
a) doubled
b) increased four times.
c) decreased to 1/2 of its original value.
d) decreased to 1/4 of its original value.
2- The magnetic flux density at a distance d from the long straight current
carrying wire is 0.4T; the magnetic flux density at a distance 2d is…..
a) 0.1T b) 0.2T c) 0.8T d) 1.6T
Lesson 2
Magnetic field due to a current in a coil
Second: Magnetic field due to a circular coil carrying current:
When a current is passed through a circular coil, a magnetic field is produced around it.
The magnetic field produced is very similar to that of a short bar magnet
1) The flux lines are circular surrounding the two sides
2) The flux lines are no longer circular near the center
3) The flux lines become straight and parallel lines perpendicular to the plane of the
coil at the center of the coil. This means that the magnetic field in this region is
uniform.
The magnetic flux density at center of the circular coil can be given by the following
relation
NI
Bμ
2r
Where:
B: the magnetic field density (Tesla)
I: intensity of current passing through the wire (Ampere).
r: the radius of the circular coil (meter).
µ: Permeability of medium (µair = 4π 10-7 Wb/m.A)
The right Cork Screw rule (Maxwell's Screw Rule)
The right Cork Screw rule used to determine the direction of the
magnetic field resulting from an electric current in a circular coil.
If the direction of rotation (right-handed screw is turned) points
in the direction of the current (from + to -).The direction of
motion will give the direction of the magnetic field
Clockwise rule (polarity coil):
The side at which the current is
in a clock wise direction is the
South Pole while the side of
which the current is an antilock
wise direction is the North
Pole.
Caution
1- When direction of the current flow reversed, the direction of magnetic field will be
reversed
2- If a straight wire of length (L) is bent to form circular coil of radius (r) and of turn’s
number (N), then
L = circumference of the circular coil = 2 πr N

of radius 5.6cm to form magnetic flux density of 8.25 10-6 T at its center. Find the

The Solution

Note that:
1- The density of magnetic field produced by a solenoid carrying a current at a point
on its interior axis increases when a soft iron bar inserted in it because soft iron
has high permeability, so the magnetic flux lines will be concentrated.
2- When direction of the current flow reversed, the direction of magnetic field will be
reversed

another parallel wire, there is a mutual force results
between the two wires. This force is attractive if the two
currents flow in the same direction. The force is repulsive
if the two currents flow opposite to each other. We can
calculate this force as follows:

Lesson 1
Faraday’s law
Introduction
It has been noticed that the passage of an electric current in a conductor produces a
magnetic field. Soon after Oersted's discovery that magnetism could be produced by an
electric current, a question arose, namely, could magnetic field produce an electric
current?
This problem was addressed by Faraday through a series of experiments which led to
one of the breakthroughs in the field of physics, namely, the discovery of
electromagnetic induction. On the basis of such a discovery, the principle of operation
and function of most of the electric equipment - such as the electrical generators
(dynamos) and transformers - depend.
Faraday’s Experiment:
Faraday made a cylindrical coil of insulated copper wire, such that the coil turns were
separated from each other. He connected the two
terminals of the coil to a sensitive galvanometer
having its zero reading at the mid point of its
graduated scale, as shown in Fig. When Faraday
plunged a magnet into the coil, he noticed that the
pointer of the galvanometer was deflected
momentarily in a certain direction. On removing the
magnet from the coil, a deflection of the pointer was noticed in the opposite direction.
This phenomenon is called electromagnetic induction".
Electromagnetic induction
(It is a phenomenon in which an induced electromotive force is generated in the
conductor by a changing magnetic field (magnetic flux))
Moreover, the action of the magnet is met by a reaction from the coil.If the magnet is
plunged into the coil, the induced magnetic field acts in a way to oppose the motion of
the magnet. If the magnet is pulled out, the induced magnetic field acts to retain (or
keep) the magnet in. Faraday concluded that the induced emf and current were
generated in the circuit as a result of the time variation of magnetic field lines as they
cut the windings of the coil while the magnet was in motion.
Faraday’s laws:
From the above Faraday’s observations, one can conclude the following:
1) The relative motion between a conductor and a magnetic field in which there is time
variation of the magnetic flux linked with the conductor, induces an electromotive
force in the conductor. Its direction depends on the direction of motion of the
conductor relative to the field.
2) The magnitude of the induced electromotive force is proportional to the rate by
which the conductor cuts the lines of the magnetic flux linked with it.
3) The magnitude of the induced electromotive force is proportional to the number of
turns N of the coil which cut (or link with) the magnetic flux.

Where Δφm is the variation in the magnetic flux intercepted by the conductor through
the time interval Δ t
The negative sign in the above relation indicates that the direction of the induced
etectromotive force or the induced current tends to oppose the cause producing it. This
rule is known as Lenz's rule.
Lenz’s rule
The induced current must be in a direction such as to oppose the change producing it.
Solved example
A coil has 5000 turns. Calculate the emf induced in the coil when the magnetic
flux cutting the coil changes by 8 × 10–4 Weber in 0.1 s
The solution

Exercise
1- A magnet is dropped through a wire coil. As it goes
through a current is generated in the coil which produces
a magnetic field near the coil.

goes into the top of the coil?
b) Explain your answer to a)?
c) Which magnetic pole (N or S) is produced at Y as the magnet
leaves the bottom of the coil? Why?
Lesson 2
Mutual and self induction
Mutual induction between two coils:
(It’s the electromagnetic effect takes place between two coils when an induced
emf generated in one of them (secondary coil) due current variation in the other
coil (primary coil), which opposes the change causing it).
The coefficient of mutual inductanc between two coils depends on the following
factors.
1. The presence of an iron core inside the coil.
2. The volume of the coil and the number of its turns.
3. The distance separating them.
The transformer is considered as a clear example of mutual induction
Solved example

zero in 0.01 sec. An induced emf equal 40 volts is generated in the other coil.

2) The distance between the turns
3) The presence of an iron core inside the coil (magnetic permeability)

5A to 25A in a time of 0.05 s, if the self inductance of the coil is 0.1H?

The induced emf in a moving straight wire
emf = B𝑙v
Wire moving with velocity making an angle (θ) with the magnetic field:
If the wires moves by an angle along the direction of the magnetic field
emf = B 𝑙 v sinθ
Fleming Right Hand Rule
It is used to determine the direction of induced current in the
wire
Extend the thumb, pointer and the middle finger of the
right hand, mutually perpendicular to each other. Let the
pointer points to the direction of the field, and the
thumb in the direction of motion, and then the middle
finger (with the rest of the fingers) will point to the
direction of the induced current or voltage as shown in
Fig.

perpendicular direction to a magnetic field of density 0.8T. Calculate the emf
induced in such a rod.

Lesson 4
Electric generator
First : AC generator (Dynamo)
The ac generator is a device used for converting mechanical energy into electrical
energy.
Principle
It is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, according to which an emf is
induced in a coil when it is rotated in a uniform magnetic field.
Essential parts of an AC generator
A field magnet:
Strong field magnet (permanent magnet or an electromagnet) with concave poles
The concave poles produce a radial magnetic field (uniform magnetic field).
An armature:
It is a rectangular coil of large number of turns of wire wound on laminated soft-iron
core of high permeability
Two slip rings:
The two ends of the coil are connected to two slip rings which rotate with the coil.
Each slip ring is always in contact with the same carbon brush.
Two graphite brushes:
Two carbon brushes touched each of the rings which form the terminals of the external
circuit
The induced currents in the coil pass to the external circuit through them
Two brushes do not rotate with the coil.
Working
When the coil rotates, its sides cut across
the magnetic field lines, the magnetic
flux linked with the coil changes, and
induced current flows in the coil,
therefore the induced current has
variable intensity and changing .The
direction of the induced current is given
by Fleming’s right hand rule.

The efficiency η = 1 (i.e. 100%), only for an ideal transformer where there is no power
loss. But practically there are numerous factors leading to energy loss in a transformer
and hence the efficiency is always less than one.
