2. Electromagnetic Induction Faraday’s Law
A changing magnetic field induces an emf
proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux:
e = - dB / dt
The emf is about some loop – and the flux is through that loop.
Lenz’s law: the induced emf is directed so that any induced current opposes the change in magnetic flux that causes the induced emf.

3. Rotating Loop - The Electric GeneratorB q
Consider a loop of area A in a uniform magnetic field B.
Rotate the loop with an angular frequency w .
The flux changes because angle q changes with time: q = wt. Hence
dFB/dt = d(B · A)/dt
= d(BA cos q)/dt
= BA d(cos(wt))/dt
= - BAw sin(wt) q A

4. Rotating Loop - The Electric GeneratorB A q
dFB/dt = - BAw sin(wt)
Then by Faraday’s Law this motion causes an emf
e = - dFB /dt = BAw sin(wt)
This is an AC (alternating current) generator.

5. Induced Electric Fields
Consider a stationary wire
in a time-varying magnetic field.
A current starts to flow.
x dB/dt
So the electrons must feel a force F.
It is not F = qvxB, because the charges started stationary.
Instead it must be the force F=qE due to an
induced electric field E.
That is:
A time-varying magnetic field B
causes an electric field E to appear!

6. Induced Electric Fields
Consider a stationary wire
in a time-varying magnetic field.
A current starts to flow.
x dB/dt
So the electrons must feel a force F.
It is not F = qvxB, because the charges started stationary.
Instead it must be the force F=qE due to an
induced electric field E.
Moreover E around the loop gives a voltage diff DV=E·dl.
And this must be the emf:
 =  E·dl o

7. Induced Electric Fields
This gives another way to write Faraday’s Law:
 E·dl = - dB/dt o
A technical detail:
The electrostatic field E is conservative:  E·dl = 0.
Consequently we can write E = - V.
The induced electric field E is NOT a conservative field.
We can NOT write E = -V for an induced field. o

Faraday’s Law
Now suppose there is no conductor:
Is there still an electric field?
YES! The field does not depend
on the presence of the conductor. E
For a dB/dt with axial or cylindrical
symmetry, the field lines of E are circles.

10. Mutual Inductance Bof 1 through 2 I 1 2
Two coils, 1 & 2, are arranged such that flux from one passes through the other.
We already know that changing the current in 1 changes the flux (in the other) and so induces an emf in 2.
This is known as mutual inductance. I
Bof 1 through 2 1 2 2

11. Mutual Inductance I 1 2
Bof 1 through 2
The mutual inductance M is the proportionality constant between F2 and I1:
F2 = M I1
so dF2 /dt = M dI1 /dt
Then by Faraday’s law: 2= - dF2 /dt = - M dI1 /dt
Hence M is also the proportionality constant
between 2 and dI1 /dt. 3

12. Mutual Inductance 1 H = 1Weber/Amp = 1 V-s/A
M arises from the way flux from one coil passes through the other: that is from the geometry and arrangement of the coils.
Mutual means mutual. Note there is no subscript on M: the effect of 2 on 1 is identical to the effect of 1 on 2.
The unit of inductance is the Henry (H).
1 H = 1Weber/Amp = 1 V-s/A 4

13. Self Inductance A changing current in a coil can induce an emf
in itself…. I B
If the current is steady, the coil acts like an ordinary piece of wire.
But if the current changes, B changes and so then does FB, and Faraday tells us there will be an induced emf.
Lenz’s law tells us that the induced emf must be in such a direction as to produce a current which makes a magnetic field opposing the change.

14. Self Inductance
The self inductance of a circuit element (a coil, wire, resistor or whatever) is L = FB/I.
Then exactly as with mutual inductance  = - L dI/dt.
Since this emf opposes changes in the current (in the component) it is often called the “back emf”.
From now on “inductance” means self-inductance. 6

15. Example: Finding Inductance
What is the (self) inductance of a solenoid with area A, length d, and n turns per unit length?
In the solenoid B = m0nI, so the flux through one turn
is fB = BA = m0nIA
The total flux in the solenoid is (nd)fB
Therefore, FB = m0n2IAd and so L = FB/I gives
L = m0n2Ad
(only geometry) 16

16. Inductance Affects Circuits and Stores Energy
This has important implications…..
First an observation: Since  cannot be infinite neither can dI/dt. Therefore, current cannot change instantaneously.
We will see that inductance in a circuit affects current in somewhat the same way that capacitance in a circuit affects voltage.
A ‘thing’ (a component) with inductance in a circuit is called an inductor. 7

17. RL Circuit e0 While the switch is open current can’t flow.

21. RL Circuit Analysis e0 e0 - IR - LdI/dt = 0 Use the loop method R S +
LdI/dt = e0 - IR = -R[I-(e0 /R)]
dI / [I-(e0 /R)] = - (R/L) dt   dI / (I-(e0 /R)) = - (L/R)  dt
ln[I-(e0 /R)] – ln[-(e0 /R)] = - t / (L/R)  ln[-I/(e0 /R) + 1] = - t / (L/R)
-I/(e0 /R) + 1 = exp (- t / (L/R))  I/(e0 /R) = 1 - exp (- t / (L/R))
I = (e0 /R) [1 - exp (- t / (L/R))] 9

-e0
eL = - e0 exp (- t / (L/R))
t = 0  eL = - e0
t =   eL = 0 9

24. Decay of an RL Circuit S R + e0 - L
After I reaches e0/R move the switch as shown.
The loop method gives eL - IR = 0 or eL = IR
Remember that eL = -L dI/dt  -L dI/dt = IR
dI/I = - dt / (L/R)   dI/I = -  dt / (L/R)
ln I/I0 = - t / (L/R)  I = I0 exp [- t / (L/R)]
But I0 = e0/R
Then: I = (e0/R) exp [- t / (L/R)] 12

25. Inductors in Circuits
The presence of inductance prevents currents from changing instantaneously.
The time constant of an RL circuit is  = L/R.
When the current is not flowing the inductor tries to keep it from flowing. When the current is flowing the inductor tries to keep it going. 13

26. Energy Stored in an Inductor+ - S I e0 L
Recall the original circuit when current was changing
(building up). The loop method gave: e0 - IR + eL = 0
Multiply by I and use eL = - L dI/dt
Then:
Ie0 - I2R - ILdI/dt = 0 or: Ie0 - I2R – d[(1/2)LI2]/dt = 0 {d[(1/2)LI2]/dt=ILdI/dt} 14

27. Think about Ie0 - I2R - d((1/2)LI2)/dt = 0
Ie0 is the power (energy per unit time) delivered by the battery.
I2R is the power dissipated in the resistor. 15

28. Think about Ie0 - I2R - d((1/2)LI2)/dt = 0
Ie0 is the power (energy per unit time) delivered by the battery.
I2R is the power dissipated in the resistor.
Hence we’d like to interpret d((1/2)LI2)/dt as the rate at which energy is stored in the inductor.
In creating the magnetic field in the inductor
we are storing energy 15

29. Think about Ie0 - I2R - d((1/2)LI2)/dt = 0
Ie0 is the power (energy per unit time) delivered by the battery.
I2R is the power dissipated in the resistor.
Hence, we’d like to interpret d[(1/2)LI2]/dt as the rate
at which energy is stored in the inductor.
In creating the magnetic field in the inductor
we are storing energy
The amount of energy in the magnetic field is:
UB = (1/2) LI2 15

30. Energy Density in a Magnetic Field
We have shown
Apply this to a solenoid:
Dividing by the volume of the solenoid, the stored energy density is:
This turns out to be the
energy density in a magnetic field
uB = B2/(20) 17
