where B is the magnitude of the magnetic field (having the unit of Tesla, T), A is the area of the surface, and θ is the angle between the magnetic field lines and the normal (perpendicular) to A. mathrm { P } _ { \mathrm { p } } = \mathrm { I } _ { \mathrm { p } } \mathrm { V } _ { \mathrm { p } } = \mathrm { I } _ { \mathrm { s } } \mathrm { V } _ { \mathrm { s } } = \mathrm { P } _ { \mathrm { s } }\] Faraday’s experiments showed that the EMF induced by a change in magnetic flux depends on only a few factors. First, EMF is directly proportional to the change in flux Δ. Second, EMF is greatest when the change in time Δt is smallest—that is, EMF is inversely proportional to Δt. Finally, if a coil has N turns, an EMF will be produced that is N times greater than for a single coil, so that EMF is directly proportional to N. The equation for the EMF induced by a change in magnetic flux is From Eq. 1 and Eq. 2 we can confirm that motional and induced EMF yield the same result. In fact, the equivalence of the two phenomena is what triggered Albert Einstein to examine special relativity. In his seminal paper on special relativity published in 1905, Einstein begins by mentioning the equivalence of the two phenomena: We have studied Faraday’s law of induction in previous atoms. We learned the relationship between induced electromotive force (EMF) and magnetic flux. In a nutshell, the law states that changing magnetic field(\(\frac { d \Phi _ { \mathrm{B} } } {\mathrm{ d t} }\)) produces an electric field (\(ε\)), Faraday’s law of induction is expressed as \(\varepsilon = - \frac { \partial \Phi _ { \mathrm { B } } } { \partial \mathrm { t } }\), where \(ε\) is induced EMF and \(\frac { d \Phi _ { \mathrm{B} } } {\mathrm{ d t} }\) is magnetic flux. (“N” is dropped from our previous expression. The number of turns of coil is included can be incorporated in the magnetic flux, so the factor is optional. ) Faraday’s law of induction is a basic law of electromagnetism that predicts how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force (EMF). In this Atom, we will learn about an alternative mathematical expression of the law.

In a motor, a current-carrying coil in a magnetic field experiences a force on both sides of the coil, which creates a twisting force (called a torque) that makes it turn.The EMF can be calculated from two different points of view: 1) in terms of the magnetic force on moving electrons in a magnetic field, and 2) in terms of the rate of change in magnetic flux. Both yield the same result. For linear, non-dispersive, materials (such that \(\mathrm{B = μH}\) where μ, called the permeability, is frequency-independent), the energy density is: \(.\mathrm { u } = \frac { \mathbf { B } \cdot \mathbf { B } } { 2 \mu } = \frac { \mu \mathbf { H } \cdot \mathbf { H } } { 2 }\) Like your login credentials, your PIN is not stored, nor can it be accessed or restored, by Zelcore. You can deactivate d2FA at any time, if you wish. mathrm { P } = \mathrm { F } _ { \mathrm { ext } } \mathrm { v } = ( \mathrm { iBL } ) \times \mathrm { v } = \mathrm { i } \varepsilon\]

Faraday’s law of induction is a basic law of electromagnetism that predicts how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force. Now, linear velocity v is related to angular velocity by \(\mathrm{v=rω}\). Here \(\mathrm{r=w/2}\), so that \(\mathrm{v=(w/2)ω}\), and: Lenz’ law guarantees that the motion of the rod is opposed, and therefore the law of energy conservation is not violated. mathrm { V } _ { \mathrm { s } } = - \mathrm { N } _ { \mathrm { s } } \dfrac { \Delta \Phi } { \Delta \mathrm { t } }\] In the many cases where the geometry of the devices is fixed, flux is changed by varying current. We therefore concentrate on the rate of change of current, ΔI/Δt, as the cause of induction. A change in the current I 1 in one device, coil 1, induces an EMF 2 in the other. We express this in equation form as

We learned about motional EMF previously (see our Atom on “Motional EMF”). For the simple setup shown below, motional EMF (ε)(ε) produced by a moving conductor (in a uniform field) is given as follows:

Assuming, as we have, that resistance is negligible, the electrical power output of a transformer equals its input. Equating the power input and output, The apparatus used by Faraday to demonstrate that magnetic fields can create currents is illustrated in the following figure. When the switch is closed, a magnetic field is produced in the coil on the top part of the iron ring and transmitted (or guided) to the coil on the bottom part of the ring. The galvanometer is used to detect any current induced in a separate coil on the bottom. Thus in this case the EMF induced on each side is EMF=Bℓvsinθ, and they are in the same direction. The total EMF εε around the loop is then:varepsilon = 2 \mathrm { B } l \frac { \mathrm { w } } { 2 } \omega \sin \omega \mathrm { t } = ( \operatorname { lw } ) \mathrm { B } \omega \sin \omega \mathrm { t }\] A generic surface, A, can then be broken into infinitesimal elements and the total magnetic flux through the surface is then the surface integral Faraday’s law states that the EMF induced by a change in magnetic flux depends on the change in flux Δ, time Δt, and number of turns of coils. An alternative, differential form of Faraday’s law of induction is express in the equation \(x\nabla \times \vec { \mathrm { E } } = - \frac { \partial \vec { \mathrm { B } } } { \partial \mathrm { t } }\).

The EMF produced due to the relative motion of the loop and magnet is given as \(\mathrm{ε_{motion}=vB \times L}\) (Eq. 1), where L is the length of the object moving at speed v relative to the magnet. mathrm { u } = \dfrac { \mathbf { B } \cdot \mathbf { B } } { 2 \mu } = \dfrac { \mu \mathbf { H } \cdot \mathbf { H } } { 2 }\]Faraday’s law of induction is a basic law of electromagnetism that predicts how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force (EMF). It is the fundamental operating principle of transformers, inductors, and many types of electrical motors, generators, and solenoids.
