CHAPTER -10

ELECTROMAGNETISM
Reflections on concepts:
1. Are the magnetic field lines closed? Explain.
Ans.  Magnetic field lines are closed loops. A solenoid is along wire
wound in a close packed helix. The field of solenoid is shown
in the figure.
 The magnetic field lines set up by solenoid resemble those of
a bar magnet indicating that a solenoid behaves like a bar
magnet.
 The direction of the field due to solenoid is determined by
using right hand rule. One end of the solenoid behaves like a
north pole and other behaves like a south pole.
 The field lines outside the solenoid are continuous with those
inside. Outside the solenoid the direction of the field lines is
from north to south while inside the direction is from south to
north.
 Thus the magnetic field lines are closed loops. This is so for
the bar magnet too.

2. See fig, magnetic lines are shown. What is the direction of the
current flowing through the wire?
Ans. The magnetic lines are in anti-clockwise direction.
Hence the direction of current is in upward direction, that is out of
the page.

3. A bar magnet with North Pole facing towards a coil moves as shown
in fig. What happens to the magnetic flux passing through the
coil?

Ans. The magnetic flux passing through the coil changes and this induces
current in the coil.
The current is due to induced EMF.
This induced EMF is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux
passing through it.

4. A coil is kept perpendicular to the page. At P, current flows into the


page and at Q it comes out of the page as shown in fig. What is the
direction of magnetic field due to the coil?

Ans. (i) To know the direction of magnetic field we use right hand
rule i.e., when we curl our right hand fingers in the
direction of current, thumb gives the direction of magnetic
field.
(ii) According to this rule the direction of magnetic field would
be –
Anti-clockwise at the top near Q
Clock wise at the bottom near P
Application of concepts:
1. The direction of current flowing in a coil is shown in fig. What
type of magnetic pole is formed at the face that has flow of
current
as shown in fig.
Ans. It would be North pole.
This is because, the current in the coil flows in anti-clockwise
direction, a North pole is formed at the face we are watching.

2. Why does the picture appear distorted when a bar magnet is


brought close to the screen of a television? Explain.
Ans.  Take a bar magnet and bring it near the TV screen. The
picture gets distorted. This is because, motion of electrons
reaching the screen is affected by the magnetic field of the
bar magnet.
 Move the bar magnet away from the screen. Now you will
get a clear picture. Repeat this to confirm that the motion of
electrons is affected by the field produced by the bar
magnet.
 This must be due to the fact that the magnetic field exerts a
force on the moving charges. This force is called magnetic
force.

3. Symbol ‘X’ indicates the direction of a magnetic field into the


page. A
straight long wire carrying current along its length is kept
perpendicular to the magnetic field. What is the magnitude of
force experienced by the wire? In what direction does it act?

Ans.  Magnetic force ( F ) experienced by the wire is of the


magnitude of ILB.
 Here I = Current
L = Length of the wire
B = Magnetic field
 The direction of force can be found by using Right Hand
Rule.
 Fore finger points towards the velocity of current, middle
finger points to the direction of magnetic field B, and then
the thumb gives the direction of the force.
4. An 8N force acts on a rectangular conductor 20cm long placed
perpendicular to a magnetic field. Determine the magnetic field
induction if the current in the conductor is 40A.
Ans. F = 8N
L = 20cm = 0.2m
I = 40 A
F = ILB
F
B =
IL
8
=
40 x 0.2

= 1 tesla.

5. As shown in the fig, both coil and bar magnet moves in the same
direction. What happens?

Ans. The induced EMF will not be produced when the coil and the
magnet are moving in the same direction, with the same speed.

6. Give a few applications of Faraday’s law of induction in daily life.


Ans. Applications of Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction
Electromagnetic induction is all around us.
 You might have seen that, during security check, people are
made to walk through a large upright coil of wire which
produces a weak AC (alternating) magnetic field. If we are
carrying any significant Quantities of iron, the magnetic flux
linked with the large coil changes and the induced current
generated in coil triggers an alarm.

 The tape recorder which we use to listen to songs (or) record


voices works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. It
consists of a piece of plastic tape coated with iron oxide and
is magnetised more in some parts than in others. When the
tape is moved past as a small coil of wire (head of the tape
recorder), the magnetic field produced by the tape changes,
which leads to generation of current in the small
coil of wire.

 How could we use the principle of electromagnetic induction


in the case of using ATM card when its magnetic strip is
swiped through a scanner? Discuss with your friends and
your teacher.

 An induction stove works on the principle of electromagnetic


induction. A metal coil is kept just beneath the cooling
surface. It carries alternating current (AC) so that AC
produces an alternating magnetic field. When you keep a
metal pan with water on it, the varying magnetic field
beneath it crosses the bottom surface of the pan and an EMF
is induced in it. Because the pan is metal the induced
EMF generates an induced current in it. Since the pan has a
finite resistance, the flow induced current in it produces
heat
in it and this heat is conducted to the water. That’s why we
call this stove as induction stove.
