FIELD
Ø HOW TO FIND DIRECTION OF INUCED CURRENT
1. First Finger or Index Finger points in the direction of the magnetic field.
2. Middle finger shows the direction of the Induced current.
3. Thumb points in the direction of the motion.

DERIVATION OF AN INDUCED EMF IN A CONDUCTOR:
• The maximum p.d is achieved across the conductor
when the magnetic force pushing the electrons
downwards equals the electric force pushing them
upwards.
• Magnetic force = qvB and is downwards (Fleming’s LH
rule)
• Electric force = qE upwards; E is the strength of the
electric field.
• qE = qvB
• ε/L = vB
• ε = BLv
• ε is the p.d between the ends of the conductor
(motional emf)
• v is the velocity of the conductor
• B is the magnetic field strength
• L is the length of the conductor
• B,L and v are mutually perpendicular

MAGNETIC FLUX & MAGNETIC FLUX LINKAGE
The magnetic flux through any surface placed in a magnetic field is the number of magnetic field
lines crossing normally.
It is denoted by the letter ɸ. It is a scalar quantity.
Factors on which Magnetic Flux Depends
•MAGNETIC FLUX LINKAGE
It is defined as the product of magnetic flux and the number of turns in the circuit.

FARADAY’S EXPERIMENTAL OBSERVATION:
•B
•A
•Coil rotates
EMF can only change if magnetic flux is changing.
FARADAY’S LAWS
Faraday’s Second Law
MOTIONAL EMF FROM FARADAY’S LAWS:
Motional Emf from Lorentz force:
u The total force experienced by a charge particle moving in a region where
both electric and magnetic fields are present is called Lorentz force.
FE = qE
Fm = qvB
Total force = FE + Fm = qE +qvB = q (E+vB)
u qE = qvB
u ε/L = vB
u ε = BLv
u ε is the p.d between the ends of the conductor (motional emf)
u v is the velocity of the conductor
u B is the magnetic field strength
u L is the length of the conductor
u B,L and v are mutually perpendicular

GRAPH OF FALLING MAGNET THROUGH A COIL:
u Change in magnetic flux is due to the relative motion between the coil and
the magnet.
u More the speed with which the magnet is moved towards the coil, greater
is the induced emf.
u The direction of induced current is such that it will oppose the change
producing it.
u When the N pole of the magnet is moved towards the coil, the nearer end
of the coil has induced current flowing in the ACW direction and acts as N
pole
u When the N pole of the magnet is moved away from the coil, the nearer
end of the coil has induced current flowing in CW direction and acts as S
pole.
Lenz’s Law And Law Of Conservation
Of Energy
u Suppose the direction of the induced current was to enhance the change
that caused it. Then there would be an attraction between the magnet and
the coil and the magnet would be accelerated towards the coil gaining
kinetic energy from nowhere. Law of conservation of energy tells us this
cannot happen.
ε = (-ΔNΦ) ÷ Δt
u ΔNΦ is the flux change linked with N turns of the coil.
u The negative sign shows that the direction of induced
current is such that it will oppose the change producing
it.
Copper Plate Oscillating In A Magnetic
Field
u Currents are induced in the copper plate when it
leaves and enters the magnetic field as the magnetic
flux linked with the plate changes.
