1 Physics Week 6(Sem. 2) Name Chapter Summary Magnetism Cont d Motional EMF The current in a coil is called induced current, because it is brought about by a changing magnetic field. And since a source of emf is always needed to produce a current, the coil itself behaves as if it were a source of emf. This emf is called induced emf. Consider a rod of length (L) moving with a constant velocity of (v) perpendicular to a magnetic field (B). Due to RHR 1, the electrons move creating a positive top side and a negative bottom. This separation of charges at the ends of the moving conductor gives rise to an induced emf called a motional emf. The fact that the electrical and magnetic forces balance at equilibrium can be used to determine the magnitude of the motional emf (ε). Therefore after some equation solving the motional emf (ε) is Where ε is in units of volts, v is a velocity in m/s, B is the magnetic field in Tesla (T), and L is the length of the rod in meters. As expected ε=0 when the =0, for no motional emf is developed in a stationary situation. Magnetic Field of a Current carrying wire As a charge moves in an electric field it experiences a magnetic force. Therefore charges moving through a current carrying wire create a magnetic field. The right hand rule #2 can be applied to determine the magnetic field around a wire. If your thumb is placed in the direction of the current then your right hand wraps in the direction of the magnetic field (B). To determine the magnitude of the magnetic field on a long straight current carrying wire the equation below can be applied Where μ 0 is the permeability of free space, and its value is 4π x 10 7 T m/a. I is current in Amps and r is radius in meters. This equation demonstrates why the magnetic field strength gets stronger as you approach the current carrying wire, where r is smaller. Magnetic Field of a Current Loop The right hand rule can also be applied to find the direction of the magnetic field of a current carrying loop. Regardless of where on the loop you apply the right hand rule, the field within the loop points in the same direction, upward. The field lines resemble those of a bar magnet. Solenoids produce a strong magnetic field by combining several loops. The magnetic field in a solenoid increases with current and the number of coils per unit length. When an iron rod is placed inside of the loops, it can be called an electromagnet (see fig. 21 8). Magnetic Force on a Current carrying Wire Just like a charge experiences a magnetic force when it moves through a magnetic field, a current carrying wire also experiences a force when it is placed in a magnetic field. If a straight length of wire of length ( ), carrying a current (I) was in a magnetic field (B), the force it would experience would be: Where F mag would be the force the current carrying wire experienced. This equation is only valid when the current and the magnetic field are at right angles to each other. When applying the right hand rule your thumb will be placed in the direction of the current. If the magnetic field is into the page, then the direction of the magnetic force is to the left (see fig). 2 Ms. N. May

2 Two parallel conducting wires Two parallel conducting wires exert forces on one another, since a current in a conductor creates its own magnetic field. When the current is in the same direction, the two wires attract to one another. This can be confirmed by the right hand rule. If the current in the two wires are going in opposite directions, the two wires will repel each other (see fig). Induced Current Suppose a bar magnet is pushed into a coil of wire. As the magnet moves into the coil, the strength of the magnetic field within the coils increases, and a current is induced in the circuit. This induced current in turn produces its own magnetic field, whose direction could be found using the right hand rule. As the magnet approaches, the magnetic filed lines passing through the coil increase in strength. The induced current in the coil must be in a direction that produces a magnetic field that opposes the increasing strength of the approaching field. The induced magnetic field is therefore in the direction opposite that of the approaching magnetic field (see fig 22 4 &5). In figure 22 4 the coil and the magnet repel one another and in figure 22 5 they attract one another. Magnetic Flux Magnetic flux is analogous to electric flux, which deals with the electric field and the surface through which it passes. Therefore magnetic flux depends on the magnetic field and the surface through which it passes. Using the equation for motional emf (provided before) it can be rearranged to solve for magnetic flux. After some algebra the motional emf equation appears as Ms. N. May Where BA is the area swept out by the rod moving a distance of x and having a length (l). When the magnetic flux is defined as BA it then takes on the symbol φ. Thus the motional emf equation is Ф Ф Ф In other words the induced emf equals the time rate of change of the magnetic flux. Often this equation is written as Ф/, with the minus sign in it. Assigning the minus is important for universal application of the equation for the following reason. The direction of the current induced in the circuit is such that the magnetic force (F) acts on the rod to oppose its motion, thereby tending to slow down the rod. A general equation for magnetic flux such that the component of the magnetic field is perpendicular to the surface must be used. Thus the magnetic flux equation is Ф ө Where Ф is magnetic flux in units of T m 2 or Weber (Wb). Len z Law The rule for finding the direction of the induces current is called Lenz s law and says the magnetic field of the induced current opposes the change in the applied magnetic field. Note that the field of the induced current does not oppose the applied field but rather the change in the applied field. If the applied field changes, the induced field attempts to keep the total field strength constant, according to the principle of energy conservation. Faraday s law of induction Due to the principle of energy conservation, Lenz s law allows you to determine the direction of an induced current in a circuit. Lenz s law does not provide information on the magnitude of the induced current or the induced emf(electromotive force). To calculate the magnitude of the induced emf, you must use Faraday s law of magnetic induction. For a single loop of a circuit, the equation may be Ф Where N is the number of coils, Ф is the change in magnetic flux for 1 loop, and is the time interval during which the magnetic flux changed.
