Electromagnetic
Induction
Whenever the magnetic flux linked with an electric circuit changes,
an emf is induced in the circuit. This phenomenon is called
electromagnetic induction.
Magnetic Flux
‘The total number of magnetic field lines crossing through any surface
normally, when it is placed in a magnetic field is known as magnetic
flux of that surface.
dé=B-ds=Bds cos 0
Its SI unit is tesla-metre (or weber)
CGS unit of §= maxwell, 1 weber = 10° maxwell,
Dimensional formula of magnetic flux

Faraday’s Laws of Electromagnetic Induction
() Whenever the magnetic flux linked with a circuit changes, an
induced emf is produced in it.
(i) The induced emf lasts, so long as the change in magnetic flux
continues.
(ii) The magnitude of induced emf is directly proportional to the
rate of change in magnetic flux, i.e.

where, constant of proportionality is one and negative sign indicates
that the induced emf in the circuit due to the changing flux always
opposes the change in magnetie flux.Induced current is given as

Lenz’s Law
‘The direction of induced emf or induced current is always in such a
way, that it opposes the cause due to which it is produced.
Lenz's law is in accordance with the conservation of energy.
Direction of the induced current can be determined as
(i) if flux is decreasing, the magnetic field due to induced current
will be along the existing magnetic field.
(ii) if flux is increasing, the magnetic field due to induced current
will be opposite to existing magnetic field.
Also to apply Lenz’s law, you can remember RIN or ® In (when the
loop lies on the plane of paper), where
(@) RIN In RIN, R stands for right, I Induced current
stands for increasing and N for north
pole (anti-clockwise). It means, if a loop i
is placed on the right side of a straight (hnereasing)
current-carrying conductor and the
current in the conductor is increasing,
then induced current in the loop is
anti-clockwise (0).
(i) @IN_ In @IN, suppose the magnetic
field in the loop is perpendicular to @ increasing

increasing, then induced current in the loop is anti-clockwise

or Ring by Moving Bar Magnet
The following are some important points that will explain the
direction of induced current according to Lenz’s law.
() When north pole moves towards ring, then flux will increase,
induced current will oppose this, so north pole will be formed in
loop as seen by observer.

Induced current will be anti-clockwise.
(i) When north pole moves away from ring, then flux will decrease,
induced current will oppose this, so south pole will be formed in
loop as seen by observer.

‘The direction of induced current in any conductor can be obtained
from Fleming's right hand rule.

Ifa piece of metal is placed in a varying magnetic field or rotated with
high speed in an uniform magnetic field, then induced currents set up
in the piece are like whirlpool of air, called eddy currents.

‘The magnitude of eddy currents is given by I=—F =r
where, R is the resistance.
Eddy currents are also known as Foucault's currents.
Eddy currents causes unnecessary heating and wastage of power. The
heat, thus produced may even damage the insulation of coils of
dynamos and generators.
Eddy currents can be reduced by laminations of metal to make a
metal core.

change in current flowing in its own, is called self-induction.

The phenomena of production of induced emf in a circuit due to the
change in magnetic flux in its neighbouring circuit, is called mutual
induction.
If two coils are coupled with each other, then magnetic flux linked
with a coil (secondary coil)
$=MI
where, M is coefficient of mutual induction and J is current flowing
through primary coil.
‘The induced emf in the secondary coil, e=- M #
where, a is the rate of change of current through primary coil.
The unit of coefficient of mutual induction is henry (H) and its
dimensional formula is (ML?T2A~].
‘The coefficient of mutual induction depends on geometry of two coils,
distance between them and orientation of the two coils.
Mutual inductance of two long co-axial solenoids is given by,

where, N, and N are total number of turns in both coils, m, and n, are
number of turns per unit length in coils, A is area of cross-section of
coils and lis length of the coils.
Coefficient of Coupling
Coefficient of coupling of two coils gives a measure of the manner in
which the two coils are coupled together.

where, L, and L, are coefficients of self-induction of the two coils and
M is coefficient of mutual induction of the two coils.
Co-efficient of coupling is maximum (K = 1)in ease (a), when coils are
co-axial and minimum in case (b), when coils are placed a right angles.
