 ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION


 Magnetic flux

The magnetic flux through any surface placed in a magnetic field is the total number of magnetic lines of force crossing this surface normally.

It is a scalar quantity denoted by ∅

∅ = BAcosθ

B and A are vector quantities and the direction of A is the direction of the outward drawn normal to the surface.

SI unit is weber (Wb)

1. What is the cause of induced emf?

The cause of induced emf is the change of magnetic flux linked with a circuit.

2. Induced emf is also called back emf.  Why?

It is because induced emf always opposes any change in applied emf.

3. Predict the polarity of the plate A and B of the capacitor when a magnet is moved towards it as shown.

  

When North pole of the magnet is moved towards the loop, current is induced in the anticlockwise direction.  So the plate A has positive polarity and B has negative polarity.


4. The inductance coils are made of copper. Why?

Copper has small resistance and so induced current will be large

5. How does the self inductance of a coil change when an iron rod is introduced in it?

Iron has a large relative permeability. It increases the magnetic flux and so the self inductance of the coil also increases.

6. Why is spark produced in the switch of a fan when it is switched off? .

The break of circuit is sudden.  A large induced emf is set up across the gap in the switch and thus spark occurs.

7. A lamp connected in parallel with a large inductor glows brilliantly before going off when the switch is put off. why?

A very large induced emf is set up when the circuit breaks.  This makes the bulb glow brilliantly before going off.

8. Self inductance is called the inertia of electricity. Why?

Self induction  is the property by which it tends to maintain the magnetic flux linked with it and opposes any change in the flux by inducing current in it.  This is similar to inertia.

9. When is the magnetic flux crossing a given surface area held in a magnetic field maximum?

When area is held perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field.

10. A wire cuts across a flux of 0.2 x 10  Wb in 0.12 seconds. Find the emf induced in the wire.




11. A bicycle generator creates  3 V when the bicycle is travelling at a speed of 9 km/h.  How much emf is generated when the bicycle is travelling at a speed of 15 km/h?




12. State the law that gives the polarity of the induced emf.

Lenz's law states that the direction of induced current is such that it opposes the cause which produces it.

13. Show that the SI unit of inductance, henry is equal to volt second per ampere.



14. When a current in a coil changes with time, how is the back emf induced in the coil related to it?

Back emf induced = Rate of change of current



15. Mention the methods of generating induced emf.

1. Changing the magnetic field B
2. Changing the area a of the coil
3. Changing the relative orientation θ of B and A.
