[Link] MAGNETIC INDUCTION
‘The phenomenon of generating emf or current by changing magnetic fields is called electromagnetic
induction. The emf so developed is called induced emf. Ifthe conductor is in the form of a closed eireuit a
current can flow in the eireuit, This is called induced current.
Magnetic flux: The magnetic flue through any surface ina magnetic field is the total number of magnetic
lines of force crossing this surface normally. Tt is measured as the product of the component of the magnetic
field normal to the surlaee and the surface area
For a uniform magnetic field B crossing the plane of area A at an angle @ with the normal to the plane is

If the field is nonuniform over an area, the surface can be divided in to many small atea elements dA
assuming the field His uniform within that
Then flux through area element dA is

FARADAY’S AND HENRY’S EXPERIMENTS:
Expt I: Current induced by a magnet:
Tt was observed that i) when the bar magnet is at rest, the gelvanometer shows no detTeetion.When north pole of the bar magnet moved towards the coil, galvanometer shows deflection in one
direction indicating flow of current in the coil
iii) When north pole ofthe bar magnet moved away from the coil, galvanometer again shows deflection but
now in the opposite direction indicating flow of eurrent in the coil but in the opposite direction.
iv) The deflection of the galvanometer was large when the bar magnet was moved faster either towards or
away from the coil
Conclusion: i) whenever there is a relative motion between a coil and a magnet induced current flows
through the coil
ii) Large induced emf or curre

iii) Current lasts in the eoil as long as the movement of the magnet with respect to the coil continues.
Expt2: Current induced by a coil:
Bar magnet was replaced by @ coil of insulated copper wire wound on a Wooden core. Coils were not
connected physically with one another. One coil was connected to a battery. This coil was called primary
coil C. The second coil placed near the first coil connected to a sensitive galvanometer was called secondary
coil C
Observations: It was observed that i the gal vanometer shows deflection when coil C moved towards iii)
When coil C moved away-fiom coil C° the galvanometer in the secondary cireuit showed a deflection but
in the opposite direction.
i) I the wooden care is replaced by iron core galvanameter showed large deflection
Conclusion: Emfis induced and thus current is produced in a conducting coil when there is relative motion
between a current carrying eoil and the nearby conducting coil
Expt3: Current induced by changing current:
Inthis experiment two eoils C and C” wound ona wooden core, The coil C is connected toa battery through
a key.‘Observations: i)Galvanometer shows momentary deflection when key is pressed. ii) On releasing the key
the galvanometer shows deflection but in the opposite direction. iii) Deflection inereases when wooden
core replaced by iron core.
Conclusion: The coils have no relative motion yet changing current in primary coil induces emf in the
secondary coil.
Faraday"s Laws of electromagnetic induction:
First Law: Whenever magnetic flux linked with a conductor changes, an emf is induced init, This induced
emf lasts so long as the change in magnetic fi continues in the coil
Second law: The magnitude of the induced emf is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic
flux linked with the conductor.
Let g, be magnetic flux changes to gin timet
‘Then induced emf
Lena’s law: Ii states that the direction of the induced current in a circuit is such that it opposes the cause
or the change which produces it.
i) When the north pole of a magnet is moved towards a elosed coil, the induced current in the eoil flows in
the anticlockwise direction as seen from magnet side, The fice of the coil towards the magnet develops
north polarity and thus it opposes the motion of the north pole of the magnet towards the coil which is the
cause of the induced current in the coil. Hence work has to be done in moving the magnet towards the col
ii) When the north pole of @ magnet is taken away’ from a closed coil, the induced current in the coil flows
clockwise as seen from the magnet side. Thus the face of the coil towards the magnet develops south
polarity and atiraets the north pole of the magnet and thus it opposes the motion of the magnet away’ from
the coil. Hence work has to be done in taking the magnet away from the coil‘The work done against the force of attraction or repulsion results in the flow of induced current, Thus only
the mechanical work is converted in to electrical energy
On the contrary, if the induced current flows in the same direction, then the magnet will not experience any
‘opposing force. For example, we want to move the magnet towards the coil then because of attractive foree
experienced by the magnet, no need for us to do any mechanical work in pushing the magnet towards the
ity of the magnet increases and hence inerease in induced emf
coil. Because of attractive force the velo
attracts the magnet with a greater force. Thus the induced current keeps on increasing, and tend to infinity
‘Thus infinite electrical energy is produced without any work done whieh violates law of conservation of
energy. Thus induced current must flow in such a way to oppose the cause which induces it.
I the eireu

A conductor has large number of free electrons, When it moves through « magnetic ficld a Lorentz. force
acting on the free clectrons and ean set up a current, As the arm PQ moved in a uniform magnetic field
which is directed in to the plane of the paper with a speed v, the clectrons of PQ also move with the same
speed. The electrons experience a magnetie Lorentz force. Aczording to Fleming’s left hand rule this force
acts in the direction Q to P and hence the fice electrons will move towards [Link] a negative charge
accumulates at P and a positive charge at (2. Thus an electric field K is set up in the conductor from Q to P.
This field exerts a force F, = gE on the five electrons. The accumulation of charges at the ends continues

From (1) and (2) the mechanical energy expended to maintain the motion of the movable arm is first

SELF INDUCTION: When a varying current is passed in a coil, current is induced in the same coil.
This phenomenon is called self-induction.
When a key is pressed, the current starts increasing. Due to this the magnetic field linked with the coil
increases. As a result of this current is induced in the coil. But by Lenz's law the direetion of th
current is to oppose the growth of current. Similarly when the key is released, the current in the coil and
hence the magnetic field decrease. Due to this, current is indueed in such a direction to oppose the decay
of current,coi

When an inductor is connested to a source of emf, the current starts growing through it. An i
is set up in the inductor which opposes the growth of current through it, The external source has to
expend energy in building up the current through the inductor against the induced emf. This energy stored
in the inductor as magnetic field energy.
If the current flowing through the inductor is I then the induced emf is,‘The workdone against the induced emf in small time dt is

MUTUAL INDUCTION: Mutual induction is the phenomenon of production of induced emf in one
coil when a varying current is passed in the neighbouring cotl
Consider two coils P and Q placed close to each other. The coil P is connected in series to a battery and a
tapping key. The coil $ is connected to a galvanometer. When the key is pressed the current in the coil
varies and hence the magnetic field. Thus the magnetic flux linked with the coil S also changes and henee
a current is induced in the coil S. Thus there is a defleetion in the gal vanometer.

AC GENERATOR:
A dynamo or generator is a device which converts mechanical energy in to electrical energy. It is based on
the principle of electromagnetic induction
Construction: It consists of four main parts
i)Field magnet: It provides the magnetic field) In the case of a low power dynamos the magnetic field is
‘generated by a permanent magnet while in the case of large power dynamos, the magnetic field is produced
by an electromagnet,
fi) Armature: It consists of a large number of turns of insulated wire in the soft iron drum. It can revolve
round an axle between the two poles of the field magnet. The drum serves the two purposes. a) It serves as
‘a support to the coils and b) It increases the magnetic field due to air core being replaced by iron core.
) Slip rings: The slip rings Ri and Re are the two metal rings to which the ends of armature coil are
connected. These rings are fixed to the shaft which rotates along with the armature coil so that the rings
also rotate along with the armature
13iv) Brushes: These are two flexible metal plates or carbon rods Bi and Bz which are fixed and constantly
toush the revolving rings. The output current in extemal load R is taken through these brushes,
Working: When the armature coil is rotated in the strong magnetic field, the magnetic flux finked with the
coil changes and the current is induced in the coil, its direction being given by Fleming’s right hand rule,
Considering the armature to be in vertical position and as it rotates in anticlockwise direction , the wire CD
moves upward and AB downward so that the direction of induced current is shown in fig. In the external
circuit the current flows along BiRB». During the second half revolution, the wire CD moves downwards
and AB upward, so the diroction of current is reverses! and in the external cireuit it flows along B2RBi.
‘Thus the direction of induced cmf and current changes in the extemal circuit after cach half revolution,

Obviously the emf produced is alternating and hence the current is also altemating, Current produced by
an ac generator cannot be measured by moving coil ammeter because the average value of ac aver fall cycle
