12. Faraday’s law of magnetic induction  In all of those experiment induced EMF is caused by a change in the number of field lines through a loop. In other words, The instantaneous EMF induced in a circuit equals the rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit.  Lenz’s Law: The polarity of the induced emf is such that it produces a current whose magnetic field opposes the change in magnetic flux through the loop. That is, the induced current tends to maintain the original flux through the circuit. Lenz’s law The number of loops matters

14. Example 1: EMF in a loop A wire loop of radius 0.30m lies so that an external magnetic field of strength +0.30T is perpendicular to the loop. The field changes to -0.20T in 1.5s. (The plus and minus signs here refer to opposite directions through the loop.) Find the magnitude of the average induced emf in the loop during this time.

16. Example 2: EMF of a flexible loop The flexible loop in figure below has a radius of 12cm and is in a magnetic field of strength 0.15T. The loop is grasped at points A and B and stretched until it closes. If it takes 0.20s to close the loop, find the magnitude of the average induced emf in it during this time.

17. 2.3 Motional EMF B v Let's consider a conducting bar moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field with constant velocity v. This force will act on free charges in the conductor. It will tend to move negative charge to one end, and leave the other end of the bar with a net positive charge. F l

18. Motional EMF  The separated charges will create an electric field which will tend to pull the charges back together.  When equilibrium exists, the magnetic force, F=qvB, will balance the electric force, F=qE, such that a free charge in the bar will feel no net force.  Thus, at equilibrium, E = vB. The potential difference across the ends of the bar is given by  V=El or  A potential difference is maintained across the conductor as long as there is motion through the field. If the motion is reversed, the polarity of the potential difference is also reversed.

19. Motional EMF – conducting rails B v We can apply Faraday's law to the complete loop. The change of flux through the loop is proportional to the change of area from the motion of the bar: or (Faraday’s law) current Motional EMF xx R

20. Example: wire in the magnetic field Over a region where the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field is 40.0µT directed downward, a 5.00 m length of wire is held in an east-west direction and moved horizontally to the north with a speed of 10.0 m/s. Calculate the potential difference between the ends of the wire, and determine which end is positive.

21. 2.4 Lenz’s law revisited  Lenz's law says that the induced current will produce magnetic flux opposing this change. To oppose an increase into the page, it generates magnetic field which points out of the page, at least in the interior of the loop. Such a magnetic field is produced by a counterclockwise current (use the right hand rule to verify). Application of Lenz's law will tell us the direction of induced currents, the direction of applied or produced forces, and the polarity of induced emf's. Application of Lenz's law will tell us the direction of induced currents, the direction of applied or produced forces, and the polarity of induced emf's.

22. Lenz’s law: energy conservation  We arrive at the same conclusion from energy conservation point of view  The preceding analysis found that the current is moving ccw. Suppose that this is not so. –If the current I is cw, the direction of the magnetic force, BlI, on the sliding bar would be right. –This would accelerate the bar to the right, increasing the area of the loop even more. –This would produce even greater force and so on. –In effect, this would generate energy out of nothing violating the law of conservation of energy. Our original assertion that the current is cw is not right, so the current is ccw!
