Alternating Current
The current which changes in direction and magnitude with time is called alternating current. For e.g. the electric
mains supply in our homes which varies sinusoidally with time. AC voltage is represented as-

Average value of a function

The average value of any function y = f(x) over an interval from x1 to x2 can be calculated as-

The following are some results for average value of trigonometric functions which should be memorized-

1)

2)

For a sinusoidal wave, the average value in one time period will be 0 as equal current flows in forward and backward
direction. Therefore, the average value is calculated over half a time period-

Root mean squared (RMS) value/ Effective value

RMS value for an ac current is that value of dc current which when applied to the same resistor for the same amount
of time, produces the same amount of heat as ac.
Mathematically,

Note: - ‘An ac current of 4A’ implies that the RMS value is 4A

Let current be I = i˳ Sin(ωt), where i˳ is the peak value. The RMS value is related to peak value as-

AC voltage applied to a Resistor

Consider a resistor of resistance R is connected to an alternating voltage source v= v˳Sinωt, where v˳ is the amplitude
of the oscillating potential difference and ω is the angular frequency. Using Kirchhoff’s loop law-

Where-

In the graph, both v and i reach minimum and maximum values

Simultaneously. Therefore, for a resistor voltage and current are
In phase with each other i.e. phase difference = 0.

Power consumed
In complete cycle, since equal current flows in both directions, the avg current over a complete cycle is 0 but the
average power consumed is not zero. This is because the power consumed is given by i2R (according to Joule’s law)
which depends on i2 and not i and i2 is always positive whether i is positive or negative. Thus, there is Joule heating
and dissipation of electrical energy when ac current passes through a resistor.
Instantaneous power dissipated in the circuit-

Therefore, average power dissipated-

Consider a resistance R, capacitor C and inductor L, connected to
an ac source v= v˳Sinωt. Let charge on C be q and current in the
circuit be i= i˳Sinωt then using Kirchhoff’s loop law-

Phasor solution
To calculate the current i in the circuit let us take help of the phasors. Since all 3 components L, C, R are in series the
current through all of them will be same. In the phasor diagram let this current be represented by I˳. let voltage

Disadvantages of using Phasors-

1. The phasor diagram gives nothing about the initial condition
2. The solution obtained is called the steady state solution and it is not a general solution

Ans: i) As number of turns are reduced, the inductance and iii) as a capacitor of same reactance is introduced,
hence the induc@ve reactance decreases, therefore the the inductance becomes minimum and hence

Resonance (PYQ 2016, 2013, 2012, 2010)

The phenomenon of resonance is a characteristic of systems which have a tendency to oscillate at a particular
frequency. This frequency is called the system’s natural frequency. If such a system is driven by an external energy
source at a frequency almost equal to the system’s natural frequency, then the amplitude of oscillation becomes
very large.
Consider an RLC circuit with amplitude of voltage= v˳ and frequency ω. The current in the circuit can be written as-

So, if ω is varied, then at a particular frequency (ω˳), XC = XL , impedance will be minimum-

This frequency is called the resonant frequency

Genius) R l l l
W
At resonant frequency, the current amplitude is maximum- C
Uses of resonance in LCR circuit

Tuning of radio set or TV- to hear the signal from particular station, we need to tune the radio for which we vary the
capacitance of a capacitor such that the resonant frequency of the circuit becomes almost equal to the frequency of
the radio signal received. When this happens, the amplitude of the current with the frequency of the signal becomes
maximum.

In which circuit does resonance take place?

Resonance is only exhibited by a circuit only if both L and C are present in the circuit. Only then do the voltages
across L and C cancel each other as they are out of phase and current amplitude is maximum i.e. the total source
voltage appears across R. This means we cannot have resonance in a RL and RC circuit.

Sharpness of resonance
The amplitude of current in the series LCR circuit is given by-

We know that it is maximum for ω=ω˳= and the maximum value is-

For values other than ω˳, the amplitude of current is less than the maxm value. Consider a value for ω at which the
amplitude becomes 1/√2 times the maxm value. At this value, the power dissipated becomes half (P∝ I2)
From the graph above, we see that there are two such values for ω. Let them be ω1 and ω2 –

Bandwidth of the circuit

The difference ω1 - ω2 = 2Δω is called the bandwidth of the circuit.

The quantity ω˳/2Δω is called the sharpness. The smaller the value of Δω, the sharper or narrower is the resonance.
We know that the relation b/w I˳ for ω1 and I˳ for ω˳ is as follows-

l l l I

1) ( I
 Therefore, sharpness of resonance is given by-

Quality factor (Q) (PYQ 2013)

The ratio ω˳L/R is called the quality factor of the circuit

We see that-

So, larger the value of Q, the smaller the value of 2Δω or the bandwidth of the circuit and sharper is the resonance.

Using ω˳2 = 1/LC we get-

Selectivity of the circuit

If the resonance is less sharp, not only is the maxm current less, the circuit is close to resonance for a larger range
(Δω) of frequencies and tuning of the circuit is not good. So, less sharp is the resonance, less is the selectivity of the
circuit or vice versa.
Also, if Q is large i.e. R is low or L is large, selectivity is also large.

Therefore, the instantaneous power supplied by the source is-

The average of the time dependent term in one complete cycle will be 0 hence the average power-

therefore, there is maximum power dissipation.

Case (ii) Purely inductive or capacitive circuit- If the circuit contains only a capacitor or an inductor, the phase

Ans:
LC oscillations
We know that a capacitor and inductor can store electrical and magnetic
energy respectively. Consider a capacitor C, initially charged(q˳), connected
to an inductor L. As the circuit is completed, current begins to grow in the
circuit and the charge on the capacitor decreases. Let q and i be the charge
on the capacitor and the current in the circuit resp. Using Lenz law and
Kirchhoff’s loop law-

We can write i= -dq/dt (as q decreases, i increases) therefore,

Comparing this equation with that of a simple harmonic motion-

We see that the charge is oscillating and the natural frequency of oscillation is-

Further, we can also deduce that charge varies with time as-

Where q˳ is the amplitude/ maxm value of charge and ɸ is phase constant. For the case given above, q=q˳ @ t=0 ,
ɸ=0 so-

For current-

Note: Since circuit has no dissipative element, total energy remains constant

Visualization of LC oscillations
1. At t=0, the charge on capacitor is q˳ and the current in the circuit is 0. Hence, there is no energy stored in the
inductor and the total energy of the circuit is the electrical energy stored in the capacitor-

2. When the switch is closed, current starts growing in the circuit, the charge on the capacitor and hence the
electrical energy starts decreasing and then some energy gets stored as magnetic energy in the inductor. If
at time t current is I then the magnetic energy-

3. At time t= T/4, current reaches its maximum value i˳, all the energy is stored as magnetic energy and the
capacitor has no charge and no energy.
4. As the current continues to flow, it again starts charging the capacitor. This process continues till the
capacitor is again fully charged at t=T/2 but in the opposite polarity.
5. This whole process repeats itself till the system is reverted to its original state. Thus, the energy oscillates
between the capacitor and inductor
This oscillation can be compared to that of a block connected to a spring-
0

Here ω˳= √k/m where k is the spring constant. Comparing the two equations, we see that L is analogous to mass ‘m’.
L is a measure of resistance to change in current in the circuit.
For an LC circuit-

And for a spring-

So, 1/C is analogous to k. the constant k= F/x tells us the force required to produce unit displacement similarly, 1/C=
v/q tells us the potential difference required to store unit charge

The above discussion is not realistic because-

1. Every inductor has some resistance. The resistance causes damping of charge and current which causes the
oscillations to die away
2. Even if the total resistance is 0, the total energy will not remain constant, it is radiated away in the form of
electromagnetic waves.

Transformer (PYQ 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2015, 2011)

It is a device used to step up or step-down alternating voltage
Principle- mutual induction
Construction- A transformer consists of two sets of coils insulated from each other. They are wound over a soft iron
core either on top of each other or on separate limbs of the core. One of the coils, known as the primary coil has N1
turns and the other coil, called secondary coil has N2 turns. Usually, primary coil is for input and secondary coil is for
output.

Working- When an alternating current is passed through the primary coil, an alternating magnetic flux is induced in
the coil. Through mutual induction, the alternating emf in the primary coil sets up an alternating emf and hence
alternating current in the secondary coil. We assume that the coils have no resistance and entire flux of the primary
coil is linked with the secondary coil i.e. there is no flux leakage. According to Faraday’s laws, the emf induced in N1
turns of the primary coil-
Similarly, the emf induced in N2 turns of the secondary coil-

Assuming ε1=V1 and ε2=V2 where V1 and V2 are the potential across primary and secondary coil respectively

Dividing both we get-

Now assuming that there is no power loss-

Power at primary = power at secondary

Where I1 and I2 are currents in primary and secondary coils respectively. Therefore,

Assumptions made-
1. The primary resistance the current is small
2. Entire flux of primary coil is linked with the secondary coil i.e. there is no flux leakage
3. The secondary current is small

Types of transformers-
1. Step-up transformer
if the number of turns of secondary coil is more than that of the primary coil i.e. N1<N2, we can see that V2>V1.
Such a transformer is called a step-up transformer

2. Step-down transformer
If number of turns of primary coil is more than that of the secondary coil i.e. N1>N2, we can see that V2<V1.
Such a transformer is called step down transformer

Energy losses in transformers/ factors affecting efficiency of a transformer (PYQ 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2011)
1. Flux leakage- The complete flux of primary and secondary coil cannot be linked. There are always some
leakages. It can be reduced by winding the coils over one another.
2. Resistance of the windings- The windings have some resistance which causes loss of energy in the form of heat.
They are minimized by using thick wires
3. Eddy currents- The alternating emf induces eddy currents and causes loss of energy as heat
4. Hysteresis- The magnetization of core is continuously reversed by alternating magnetic field which causes loss of
energy due to hysteresis. It can be reduced by using materials of low hysteresis loss.

Use of transformers-
The large-scale transmission of electrical energy is done with the help of transformers. The source voltage is stepped
up to reduce current and hence minimize I2R losses. At the point of consumption, the voltage is stepped down to
about 240 V which reaches our home.

varying, it can’t produce a variable flux and hence cannot be stepped down.

'

Experiment 1
Consider a coil C1 connected to a galvanometer as shown in the figure. When the north pole of a bar magnet is
pushed towards the coil, there is a deflection in the galvanometer indicating the presence of electric current in the
coil.
- The current flows for as long as the magnet is in motion, there is no deflection when magnet is stationary.
- When the north pole is pulled away from the coil, there is a deflection in the opposite direction i.e. current flows in
the opposite direction
- When the south pole of the magnet is pushed/pulled, the deflection is opposite to that when the north pole was
being moved.
- The deflection is larger when the magnet is pushed/pulled faster
- Even when the magnet is fixed and the coil C1 is moved, there is a deflection.

Conclusion: Relative motion between the coil and magnet is responsible for generation (induction) of current in the
coil.

Experiment 2
The bar magnet in experiment 1 is replaced by a coil C2 connected to a battery. Steady current in the coil C2 sets up a
steady magnetic field. when C2 is moved towards C1, the galvanometer records a deflection. This indicates current is
induced in C1
- When C2 is moved away, there is a deflection in the opposite direction
- The deflection lasts as long as the coil C2 is in motion
- When C2 is fixed and C1 is moved, the same effects are recorded

Conclusion: Relative motion between the two coils is responsible for inducing electric current

Magnetic Flux (φB)

It gives a measure of the number of magnetic field lines intersecting a given area. The magnetic flux through area A
due to field B can be written as-

1st Law- If the flux linked with a coil varies with time, an EMF is induced across the coil

2nd Law- The magnitude of induced EMF is directly proportional to the rate of change of flux linked with coil

Lenz’ Law and conservation of Energy (PYQ 2017, 2013, 2012, 2011)
The polarity of induced emf is such that it tends to produce a current which opposes the change in magnetic flux that
produced it. This is a consequence of conservation of Energy.
The negative sign in the expression for flux in Faraday’s law represents this effect.

Note: If an open circuit is used instead of a closed loop, an emf is still generated with polarity according to Lenz’ law.

Correctness of Lenz’s Law-

Suppose that the current induced was in the direction which supported the change in flux. Then in the first case, the
induced south pole of the coil would face the north pole of the magnet. This means that the magnet will
continuously be accelerated towards the coil. A gentle push will initiate the acceleration of the magnet and its
velocity and K.E will go on increasing without any expenditure of energy (perpetual motion) but this violates the law
of conservation of energy and hence can’t happen.

According to Lenz’ law, the magnet experiences a repulsive force. So, to keep the magnet in motion, work has to be
done by an external agent on the magnet. This work done is seen as the heat produced due to circulating current in
the coil in accordance with Joule’s law of heating effect of current.

 Motional EMF (PYQ 2020,2018, 2011)
The emf generated by moving a conductor in a magnetic field i.e. by changing the flux in the circuit is called motional
EMF.

In the figure, there is a rectangular conductor PQRS kept in a magnetic field B, in which arm PQ of length L is free to
move. The rod PQ is moved towards left with a constant velocity v. Assume that there is no loss of energy due to
friction.
Explanation 1: Using Faraday’s Law
As PQ is moved, the area enclosed by PQRS keeps on changing. At time t let RQ= x, then the flux associated with
PQRS –

Since x is changing w.r.t. time, the flux through PQRS will also vary with time and hence due to Faraday’s law, an EMF
will be induced which can be written as-

(Where dx/dt = -v as x is
Decreasing with time)

Explanation 2: Using Lorentz force

Consider a charge q in the conductor PQ. As PQ moves towards the left with velocity v, the charge will also move
with same velocity. As the charge is moving in a magnetic field, it will experience a force F = qvB towards Q. All like
charges will experience the same force in the same direction. The work done in moving a charge from P to Q-

EMF is the work done per unit charge-

- Direction of positive polarity of motional emf is given by direction of v × B.

connected to a spring which is stretched to A’B’ and then released at time t=0. Explain qualitatively how induced emf
in the coil would vary with time (neglect damping of oscillations of spring) (PYQ 2018) [2M]

Ans: As AB is pulled to A’B’, it experiences a force due to the spring

which causes it to perform simple harmonic mo/on about AB.
As it performs SHM, the area and hence the flux through the

Let resistance of PQ be R and resistance of all other arms is negligible. Therefore, the net resistance is R and doesn’t
change as PQ moves. The current I in the circuit can be written as-

As current flows through the arm PQ, it will experience a force due to the magnetic field which can be written as-

The direction of this force will be towards right, opposite to that of its velocity.
To keep the rod moving with constant velocity v, an equal force in the opposite direction is needed. The power
required for this will be-

i÷¥÷ Eddy Currents

When conductors are subjected to changing magnetic flux induced currents are produced in them. Their flow
patterns resemble swirling eddies in water hence they are called eddy currents.

Consider a copper a plate which allowed two swing like a pendulum

Between the pole pieces of strong magnets. We see that the motion
Of the plate is damped and that it comes to rest after a while. This is
Because the flux linked with the plate keeps on changing a sit moves
In and out of the region between the plates. This induces eddy currents
in the plate which opposes the motion of the plate. The direction of
eddy current is opposite when the plate swings in and out of the region.

Disadvantages of eddy currents

Eddy currents are undesirable as they heat up the core and dissipate electrical energy in the form of heat.

Methods of reducing eddy currents

1. Holes or slits made in the plate reduces the area available for eddy currents to flow

2. Laminations – laminations of a metal are used to make a core. The laminations are separated by an insulating
layer like lacquer. The plane of the laminations must be parallel to the magnetic field so that they cut across the
eddy current paths. This reduces the strength of eddy currents and hence the loss of energy as heat (P=I2R)

Advantages/ Uses of Eddy currents

1. Magnetic breaking in trains – Strong electromagnets are situated above the rails. When activated, they produce
eddy currents which oppose the motion of the train. As there is no mechanical contact, breaking is smooth
2. Electromagnetic damping- certain galvanometers have a fixed core made of nonmagnetic metallic material.
When the coil oscillates, the eddy currents generated in the coil oppose its motion and quickly bring the coil to
rest
3. Induction furnace- they are used to produce high temperatures to make alloys by melting the constituent
metals. Ahigh frequency A/C is passed through a coil which surrounds the metal to be melted. The eddy currents
induced in the metals produce high temperatures sufficient to melt it
4. Electric power meters- The shiny metal discs in the electric power meter rotates due to eddy currents. Electric
currents are induced in the disc by magnetic fields produced by sinusoidally varying currents in a coil

i÷¥÷ Electromagnetic damping (PYQ 2014)

Take two cylindrical pipes of equal diameters, one of aluminum and the other of PVC. Drop a cylindrical magnet
through the pipes such that it does not touch the sides of the pipes. We observe that the magnet dropped through
the PVC pipe falls faster than the one dropped through the aluminum pipe. This is because as the magnet falls
through the aluminum pipe, the flux associated with it changes which generates eddy currents in the pipe that
oppose the motion of the magnet. Eddy currents are not generated in the PVC pipe as it is an insulator.

same height above the ground. Which of the two will reach early and why? (PYQ 2014) [1M]

Ans: As the metal ball falls, it experiences a force due to gravity downwards. But, as it falls, the flux through it due to
earth’s magnetic field is changing due to which eddy currents are induced in the metal sphere such that they oppose
its motion. So, it experiences a retarding force upwards. However, since glass is an insulator, no eddy currents are
induced and it experiences only a force due to gravity. Therefore, the glass sphere reaches before the metal sphere.

An electric current can be induced in a coil by flux change produced by another coil nearby or flux change produced
by the same coil. In both cases the flux produced is directly proportional to the current.

s Some commonly known ideas about magnetism

i. The earth behaves like a magnetic with the magnetic field pointing approximately from the geographical south
to north.
ii. A bar magnet when suspended freely points in the North-South direction. The tip which points to the
geographical north is called the north pole of the magnet and that which points to the geographical south is
called the south pole of the magnet.
iii. Like poles of the magnet repel and unlike poles attract.
iv. Magnetic monopoles do not exist. If we cut a magnet in half, we end up with two smaller magnets with both
north and south pole.
v. It is possible to make magnets out of iron and its alloys

s
Bar magnet
A bar magnet has two poles. One pole is designated as the North pole and the other as the south pole. When iron
filings are sprinkled around a bar magnet, they are arranged in a pattern similar to the one seen around a current
carrying solenoid.

s Magnetic field lines (PYQ 2019)

- Magnetic field lines for a bar magnet or a current carrying solenoid form closed loops, this is because magnetic
monopoles do not exist.
- Tangent to a field line at a point gives the direction of the magnetic field at that point.
- The greater the density of field lines in a region, the greater is the magnitude of the magnetic field in that region.
- Magnetic field lines do not intersect. This is because, at the point of intersection there will be two tangents which
means that the magnetic field at that point will have two directions, which is not possible.

(i) Bar magnet (ii) solenoid

Note: 1. For a bar magnet (or a current carrying solenoid) the direction of magnetic field is from the North pole to
the South pole outside the magnetic and from the south pole to the north pole inside the magnet.
2. Unlike in electrostatics, the magnetic field lines do not indicate the direction of force on a moving charge.

s
Bar magnet as an equivalent solenoid
Ampere hypothesized that all magnetic phenomenon are due to circulating currents. The similarity between
magnetic field lines produced due to a bar magnet and a current carrying solenoid suggests that a bar magnet may
be thought of as a large number circulating atomic currents in analogy with a solenoid.

This is also the magnetic field for a bar magnet a point far on its axis (obtained experimentally). Thus, a bar magnet

Gauss’ law in Magnetism (PYQ 2019)

:
Gauss’ law in magnetism states that the net flux through any closed surface is zero

This follows from the fact that magnetic field lines always form closed loops so for any given Gaussian surface, the
no of field lines entering the surface will be equal to the number of field lines exiting the surface. Gauss’ law for
magnetism is a reflection of the fact that magnetic monopoles do not exist.

Earth’s Magnetism
- The earth’s magnetic field is thought to arise due to electric currents produced by convection and rotation of
molten metallic fluids (nickel and iron) in the outer core of the earth. This is known as the dynamo effect.
- The magnetic field lines of the earth resemble that of a hypothetical magnetic dipole located at the center of the
earth. The axis of this dipole is at angle of 11.3° to the axis of rotation of the earth.
- The pole near the geographical north pole is called the north magnetic pole and that near the geographical south
pole is called the south magnetic pole
- But the field lines enter the earth from the north magnetic pole and exit from the south magnetic pole. This
convention came around because magnetic north was the direction in which the north pole of a magnet pointed.
- Thus, in reality the north magnetic pole of earth behaves like the south pole of a bar magnet and vice-versa.

3 Magnetic vectors
1. Magnetization vector (M or I) – It is a characteristic of material. The magnetic moment of various electrons
in a bulk material can add up vectorially and give a non-zero net magnetic moment. The magnetization of a
sample is defined as the net magnetic moment per unit volume| SI unit- A m-1

2. Magnetic field intensity (H)- it is a characteristic of field| SI unit- A m-1

Relation between H, B, M

If the interior of the solenoid is filled with a material with non-zero magnetization, the field inside the solenoid will
be greater than B˳. the net field B may be expressed as-

Where Bm is the field contributed by the material core. It is found that this additional field is directly proportional to
M-

Also,

Here we see that the net magnetic field inside the solenoid is due to factors. One, due to external factors like
current in the solenoid which is represented by H, and two, due to nature of magnetic material represented by M.

S Magnetic Properties of materials (PYQ 2019, 2018, 2012)

1. Diamagnetism
- The substances which are weakly repelled by magnetic field are called diamagnetic substances
- They move from a region of stronger field to a weaker field.
- The resultant magnetic moment of a diamagnetic atom is zero.
- E.g. Bismuth, Copper, Lead, Silicon, Nitrogen (STP), Water, NaCl
Explanation for diamagnetism-
When an external field is applied, the electrons having orbital magnetic moment slow down and those having that in
the opposite direction speed up (this happens in accordance with Lenz’ law). Therefore, the substance develops a
net magnetic moment is the direction opposite to the external field and hence is repelled.
Susceptibility of diamagnetic materials- It is small and negative. It is independent of temperature.

Xm

I
Diamagne7c

Superconductors- They are the most exotic diamagnetic materials. They are metals which when cooled to very low
temperatures exhibit perfect conductivity and perfect diamagnetism. Here, the magnetic field lines are completely
expelled out of the substance. For a superconductor-
= -1

The phenomenon of diamagnetism in super conductors is called Meissner effect. They are used to make
magnetically levitated superfast trains.

2. Paramagnetism
- They are substances which weakly magnetized when kept in an external field. They are weakly attracted towards
the field
- They move from a region of weak field to strong field
- E.g. Aluminum, Sodium, Calcium, Oxygen (STP), Copper Chloride

Explanation
The individual atoms/ions/molecules of a paramagnetic material have a permanent magnetic dipole moment. In the
absence of an external field, due to random thermal motion of the constituent atoms, the net magnetic moment of a
paramagnetic material is zero. But, in the presence of an external field B˳ and at low temperatures, the magnetic
moments of constituent atoms align in the direction of field and we get a net magnetic moment in the direction of
external field. The field lines get concentrated inside the material and the field inside the material gets enhanced.

Amn
Titian . .
Susceptibility-
For paramagnetic materials, it is small and positive

Curie’s Law
The susceptibility of a paramagnetic substance is inversely proportional to Absolute temperature i.e.

(Where C is called Curie’s constant)

Note: As the field is increased or the temperature is lowered, the magnetization increases until it reaches its
saturation MS at which point the dipoles are perfectly aligned with the field. Beyond this point, curie’s law is no
longer valid.

3. Ferromagnetism
- They are materials which get strongly magnetized when placed in an external magnetic field.
- They move from region of weak field to region of strong field i.e. they are strongly attracted

Explanation-
The constituent atoms/ions/molecules of ferromagnetic substances possess a permanent dipole moment and they
align themselves in a common direction over a macroscopic volume called domain (a domain contains about 10 11
atoms). In absence of external field, the orientation of the domains is random and hence there is no net magnetic
moment. In the presence external field, the domains orient themselves in its direction. Hence, the field inside the
ferromagnet becomes stronger and the field lines inside become extremely dense

Hard ferromagnets- When external field is removed, in some ferromagnetic substances, the magnetization persists.
E.g. Alnico, an alloy of iron, aluminum, nickel, cobalt and copper; Lodestone. They are used to make permanent
magnets like compass needle

Soft ferromagnets- when external field is removed, the magnetization is also removed. E.g. Soft Iron

Susceptibility- for ferromagnetic substances, it is very large and positive

s
Hysteresis curve
Hysteresis means ‘lagging behind’. Let us study the relation between B and H. Consider a unmagnetized
ferromagnetic substance kept inside a solenoid.
- As the current in the solenoid is increased, the value of B also rises and becomes saturated as shown in the curve
oa. At this point all the domains are aligned with external field.
- Now, when H (or I) is decreased to zero, we see that B does not come down to 0, represented with curve ab. The
value of B at H=0 is called retentivity or remanence
- Next, the current in solenoid is increased in the opposite direction till the value of B becomes 0, represented by
curve bc. The value of H when B=0 is called coercivity.
- Therefore, we conclude that for a given value of H, B is not unique but depends on the previous history of the
sample. This phenomenon is called hysteresis.
- The area under B-H curve of hysteresis cycle gives loss of energy per unit volume during a cycle of magnetization
and demagnetization.

Permanent Magnets and Electromagnets (PYQ 2017, 2013)
1. Permanent magnets-
Substances which at room temperature retain their ferromagnetic property for a long period of time are called
permanent magnets.

Preparation- 1. Hammering an iron rod kept in the north-south direction

2. Stroking a steel rod with one end of a bar magnet in the same sense repeatedly.
3. Placing a ferromagnet in the center of a solenoid and pass a current. The magnetic field of the solenoid
magnetizes the rod

Properties of materials used as permanent magnets-

1. High retentivity- so that magnet is strong
2. High coercivity- so magnetization is not removed by stray fields, temp fluctuations or minor mechanical damage.
3. High permeability
e.g.- steel, alnico, Cobalt steel and ticonal (alnico + Titanium)
3. Electromagnets
They are ferromagnetic materials which are made into magnets by passing a current through it using a coil

Properties of materials used to make electromagnets-

1. High permeability
2. Low retentivity
e.g. soft iron
3. The area under hysteresis curve should be small so that loss of energy in cycle of magnetization and
demagnetization is less e.g. in the case of transformer cores and telephone diaphragm
4. high resistivity- to lower eddy current losses

Uses- electric bells, loudspeakers, telephone diaphragm, cranes.

Oersted’s experiments
Hans Christian Oersted noticed that a current carrying wire caused a noticeable deflection in a nearby magnetic
compass needle. On conducting a few experiments, he found that-
- The compass needle aligns tangentially to an imaginary circle at the center of which is the current carrying wire
and whose plane is perpendicular to the wire.
- Reversing the direction of current, reverses the direction of orientation of the compass needle.
- The deflection increases on bring the wire closer to the needle or increasing the current.
- Iron filings sprinkled around the wire, arrange themselves in concentric circles with the wire as the center.

Conclusion- Moving charges or currents produce a magnetic field in the surrounding space.

Magnetic field (B)

Like static charges produce electrostatic field, moving charges produce both electrostatic and magnetic field.
It is a vector quantity| SI Unit- Tesla (T) or Webber meter-2 (Wb m-2)|cgs unit- Gauss(G) 1G = 10-4 T

Principle of superposition of magnetic field

Total magnetic field at point due to multiple sources is the vector sum of all magnetic field of each individual source.

Magnetic force (PYQ 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2014, 2013, 2011)
1. Magnetic Force on a moving, charged particle
The magnetic force Fb on charge q, moving with velocity v in a magnetic field B is given as-

- It depends on q, v, and B. Force on a negative charge is opposite to that on a positive charge

- The magnetic force q (v × B) includes a vector product of velocity and magnetic field. So, force will always be
perpendicular to v and B. Direction of force is given by cross product rule or Flemings’ left-hand rule
- Since Fb is perpendicular to v, the work done by magnetic force is always zero.
i.e. in a magnetic field, speed of particle remains constant, only the direction of velocity can change.
- Magnetic force becomes zero when v = 0 i.e. only moving charges can experience magnetic force.
- Magnetic force depends on the frame of reference.
- Magnetic force becomes zero when v is parallel to B i.e. when particle is moving along or opposite to the field, it
experiences no magnetic force.

done by this force.
W = F.s = F.s cos90°= 0

So, we can balance the value of E and B such that the two forces become equal and since they act in opposite
directions, they will cancel out and the charged particle moves undeflected.
This condition can be used to select particles of a particular velocity out of a beam containing charges moving with
different speeds. Therefore, the crossed (perpendicular) E and B fields act as a velocity selector.

Cyclotron

It is a device used to accelerate charged particles or ions to high energies

Construction
It consists of two semicircular disc-like metal containers D1 and D2 separated by a small distance which are called
dees as they look like the letter D. It also contains an oscillator which produces an oscillating electric field. The
cyclotron makes use of crossed electric and magnetic field to increases the energy of charged particles
 Principle
A cyclotron works on the principle that the time taken by an ion to complete one revolution in its orbit is
independent of the speed or radius of its orbit.
Working
Inside the dees, the particle is shielded as no electric field acts on it. The magnetic field acts on the charged particle
and makes it go in a circular trajectory. Every time the charged particle moves out of one of the dees, it is acted upon
by the electric field. The direction of electric field changes in tune with the circular motion of the charge such that it
is always accelerated by the electric field. Each time the charge is accelerated, its energy increases and hence its
radius increases as well. So, it moves in a spiral trajectory. The increase in kinetic energy of the particle is qV (V is
potential difference across the dees at that time) every time it crosses one of the dees. These ions are repeatedly
accelerated till they have enough energy to have a radius approximately that of the dees. They are then directed by
a magnetic field and leave the system through an exit slit.
Calculations
When positively charged particles like protons are released in the center of the dees, they move in a semicircular
Path in one of the dees and then arrive in the gap between them in a time interval T/2 which is given by-

This frequency is known as the cyclotron frequency. The frequency of the applied voltage is adjusted such that the
polarity of the dees is reversed in the same time that the particle takes to complete one half revolution i.e.
frequency of applied voltage = cyclotron frequency. This condition is called resonance condition.
We can also calculate kinetic energy of the ions-

Uses-
1. Bombard nuclei with energetic particles to study nuclear reactions.
2. To implant ions in solids to modify their properties or synthesize new materials.
3. Used in hospitals to produce radioactive substances used in diagnosis and treatment.

2. Magnetic force on a current carrying conductor

Consider a rod of length l and uniform cross-sectional are A. Let the number of electrons per unit volume be n. So
total number of electrons will be N=nlA. Let drift velocity of electrons be vd. So, the total magnetic force on the
electrons moving inside the conductor will be-
F = (nlA)e vd × B
Now, from the previous chapter we know that ne vd is the current density j and neA vd is the current I. So-

F = (ne vd) Al × B = jAl × B

F = Il × B
Where l is a vector of magnitude equal to the length of the conductor and direction as that of the current I

Note: Current is not a vector, we transferred the vector sign from j to I(current)

S Biot- Savart Law/ Magnetic field due to a current element (PYQ 2020,2019,2018,2017,2012)
Consider a current carrying conductor carrying current I. Consider an infinitesimal element dl of the conductor. The
magnetic field produced due this element at a point at a distance r from the wire is directly proportional to the
magnitude of current, the length dl and inversely proportional to the square of the distance r. Its direction is
perpendicular to the plane containing dl and r. Mathematically, we can write-

q••
 Where µ˳/4π is a constant of proportionality (the above expression holds when the medium is vacuum)

Permeability of free space (µ˳)

Magnetic permeability is the ability of a substance to acquire magnetization in magnetic fields. It is a measure of the
extent to which magnetic field can penetrate matter.
µ˳/4π = 10-7 Tm A-1
Relation between ε˳ and µ˳

(Where c is speed of light in vacuum)

Similarities between Coulomb’s Law and Biot- Savart Law

- Both are long range forces since both depend inversely to the square of the distance.
- The principle of superposition applies to both the fields
- Both magnetic and electrostatic fields are linear in their sources (I dl and electric charge resp)

S Ampere’s Circuital Law (ACL) (PYQ 2015, 2014, 2011, 2010)

the surface of the loop.

Sign convention-
Let the fingers of your right hand be curled in the sense that the boundary is traversed in the loop integral. Then the
direction of the thumb gives the sense in which the current I is regarded as positive.

2. B is normal to the loop
3. B vanishes

S Field due to infinite straight current carrying wire (using ACL)

Consider an infinitely long straight conducting wire with current I. we want to calculate the magnetic field at a point
P at a distance r from the wire. Consider an Amperian loop of radius r with the wire at its center.

From ACL,

- The field at every point on a circle of radius r is same i.e. the magnetic field due to a long straight current
carrying wire has cylindrical symmetry
- The direction of the field at any point on the circle is tangential to it. Thus, the field lines of constant magnitude
form concentric circles
- Even though the wire is infinite, the field due to it at finite distance is not infinite. It only blows up when we
come very close to the wire.
- Direction of field is given by right hand rule
* Right hand rule and Right hand Thumb rule are NOT the same

Note: - Ampere’s circuital law is to Biot-savart law what Gauss’s law is to Coulomb’s law. ACL and Gauss’ law relate a
physical quantity on the boundary (electric or magnetic field) to another physical quantity.
- Ampere’s law holds for steady currents which do not fluctuate with time.

Force between two parallel currents (PYQ 2018, 2016, 2011)

Consider two long, parallel conductors A and B separated by a distance d. A carries a current IA and B carries a
current IB (in the same direction). The conductor A produces a field Ba at all points along B. the direction of the field
will be downwards (conductors placed horizontally). From cross product rule, we can see that the direction of force
will be towards the left. From Ampere’s circuital law-

Everybody Gangsta

The force (Fba) on segment of length L of wire B can written as-

Till the real gangsta arrives

Similarly, the wire A will also experience an equal force (Fab) but in the opposite direction (towards right). Using
Newton’s third law of motion-

Note: Parallel currents attract, antiparallel currents repel (can be verified by cross product or Fleming’s left-hand
rule)
 Force per unit length (fba)
let fba be the magnitude of force Fba per unit length L. so we can write-

S The Ampere
The above expression can be used to define the ampere (A). ‘An ampere is that value of steady current which when
flows in each of the two long, straight, parallel conductors of negligible cross section, placed one meter apart in
vacuum, produces on each of these conductors a force of • 24× 10-7N per meter of length.’
Similarly, we can define the Si unit of charge-
When a steady current of 1A flows through a conductor, the quantity of charge that flows through it in one second is
1C

Note: An instrument called the current balance is used to measure the force acting on the two long, straight, parallel
conductors.

s Torque on current carrying loop and magnetic dipole (PYQ 2020, 2019, 2012, 2010)
1. Torque on rectangular current loop in magnetic field
A loop carrying steady current I in a uniform magnetic field experiences a torque. It does not experience a net force
(analogous to behavior of dipole in electric field). This can be shown as-
a. Field is in the plane of the loop
Consider a rectangular loop ABCD carrying current I, kept in a magnetic field as shown-
Force on AD and BC will be zero as field along their length (sinθ=0)
Force on arm AB will be into the plane and that on CD will be out of
Of the plane. Therefore, net force on the loop will be zero as all forces
Cancel out. But net torque is not zero. Torque can be calculated as-

(A is area of coil)

b. Field is at an angle with the loop

Let the magnetic field B be at angle θ with the perpendicular to the
Area of the loop. The forces on arms BC and DA are equal and opposite
So, they cancel each other out. Also, they are collinear and act along the
axis of the loop and hence produce no torque. The forces on AB and CD
 are also equal and opposite with magnitude-

But since they are not collinear, they produce a couple as in the previous case. The torque acting on the loop can
be written as-

Note: When θ→0, the perpendicular distance b/w the forces also approaches zero, therefore the forces become
collinear and net torque on the loop also becomes zero.

2. Magnetic dipole/ magnetic moment

A current carrying loop of any shape behaves like a magnetic dipole. Consider the following circular loop with
current I and area A and square loop with side L and current I -
e

S N e

Front view Back view I

- The face of the loop with clockwise current acts South Pole| anticlockwise current acts as North pole
We define the magnetic moment(m) of the loop as-

We can also write it in vector form with the help of cross product as-

Where direction of area vector A is given by the right-hand thumb rule| SI unit- Am2
Direction of moment- The direction of magnetic moment of a dipole is from clockwise face (S) to anticlockwise
face (N) (which will always be the same as the direction of the area vector)

The torque on a current carrying loop in magnetic field can also be expressed in terms of its magnetic moment
as-

Note: 1. This is analogous to the torque experienced by an electric dipole kept in an electric field-
2. m parallel to B – stable equilibrium| m antiparallel to B- unstable equilibrium
3. If a loop has N turns, then m = N I A

Circular current loop as a magnetic dipole
Consider circular loop of radius R, carrying current I. the magnetic field on its axis at a distance x from the center-

Let area of the loop be A. Then, A= πr2. Substituting in 1,

Also, m = IA. Therefore,

This expression is very similar to the expression for electric field due to an electric field at axial position. It can be
seen if we substitute –
µ˳→1/ε˳ | m→p | B→ E

Similarly, the expression for field due to an electric dipole at appoint on the perpendicular bisector is-

If we make the above-mentioned substitutions, we obtain the result for B at a point in the field of the loop, at a
distance x from the center (for x>>R)-

Difference b/w electric and magnetic dipole

 An electric dipole is built up of two elementary units- charges/ electric monopoles but in magnetism, the magnetic
dipole (any current carrying loop) is the most elementary element i.e. magnetic monopoles do not exist.

Note: - We seen that a current carrying loop i) produces a magnetic field and behaves like a magnetic dipole at large
distances ii) experiences a torque in external magnetic field like a magnetic needle. This led Ampere to believe that
all magnetism is due to circulating currents, which is partly true.
- Electrons and protons also carry an intrinsic magnetic moment, which is not due to any circulating current.

S
Magnetic dipole moment of a revolving electron
Consider the situation shown in the fig. Due to the revolving electron,
A current is setup in the opposite direction which is given by-
I= e/T
Where T is the time period of the electron.

Substituting value of T, we get-

egg
We know -
(Where L is angular momentum of electron)

(since current flows in opposite direction)

The ratio µ/L is called the gyromagnetic ratio and is a constant. Its value is 8.8×1010 C/kg for an electron.
From Bohr’s model of an atom we know that angular momentum of an electron is quantized i.e.-
L= nh/2π
Substituting this in the previous expression-

This value is called the Bohr magneton

Note: - Any charge in uniform circular motion will have a magnetic moment associated with it which is called the
orbital magnetic moment
- The electron has another intrinsic magnetic moment, called the spin magnetic moment which has a value of 1
B.M (Bohr magneton)
- It is not that the electron is spinning. This is because it is an elementary particle and doesn’t have an axis to spin
about, like our earth. But it does have an intrinsic magnetic moment.

s Moving coil galvanometer (PYQ 2020, 2018, 2016, 2015, 2011, 2010)
 It is a device which is sensitive to small current
Construction-
It consists of a coil of many turns which is free to rotate about a fixed axis, in a uniform radial magnetic field. It also
consists a soft iron core which makes the field radial and also increases the strength of the magnetic field.
Reasons for a radial field- (PYQ 2020,2019)
Cylindrical magnets are used to generate radial fields so that the magnetic moment of the coil is always
perpendicular to the field.
Principle- (PYQ 2016, 2015, 2011, 2010)
A current carrying loop in a uniform magnetic field experiences a torque
Working-
When a current flows through the coil, it experiences a torque of magnitude-

Since field is radial (i.e. perpendicular to the area vector) we take sinθ=1
The galvanometer is fitted with a spring which provides a torque in the opposite direction which balances the
magnetic torque resulting in a steady angular deflection. Let the spring have angle of twist φ and torsional constant
K-

Note- Torsional constant is restoring torque per unit angular displacement.

Current sensitivity of a galvanometer (PYQ 2020,2010)

It is defined as the deflection per unit current -
We can increase the current sensitivity of the galvanometer by increasing the number of turns N of the coil

Voltage sensitivity of galvanometer (2011)

It is defined as the deflection per unit voltage-

We cannot increase voltage sensitivity by increasing the number of turns because if the number of turns increase,
the resistance also increases by the same amount, hence voltage sensitivity remains the same. For e.g.-

S
Galvanometer as an Ammeter (PYQ 2020, 2011, 2010)
The galvanometer cannot be used to measure the current in a circuit as it is because-
i) It gives full scale deflection for currents of the order of µA
ii) For measuring current, it will have to be connected in series and since it has such a high resistance RG , it
will change the value of current in the circuit
To convert the Galvanometer into an ammeter –
We attach a very small resistance rs (called shunt resistance) in parallel with the galvanometer so that most of
the current passes through the shunt. Since both are in parallel, the resistance of the combination is-

Galvanometer as a Voltmeter (PYQ 2015)
Galvanometer can also be converted to a voltmeter to measure the potential difference across a section of the

a large resistance R in series with the galvanometer- •o•
