Induced Emf
- Electromagnetic induction occurs when an e.m.f. is induced due to relative movement between a conductor and a magnetic field.
- This can happen when a conductor moves relative to a magnetic field, or when a magnetic field varies relative to a conductor.
- When a conductor cuts through magnetic field lines, free electrons experience a magnetic force, work is done to separate charges, and an e.m.f. is induced.
- The induced e.m.f. is defined as the work done per unit charge in separating charges to the ends of a conductor.
- If the conductor is part of a closed circuit, an induced current will flow.
- For a straight conductor of length L moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B at speed v, the induced e.m.f. is ε = BLv.
- For a coil with N turns moving through a magnetic field, the induced e.m.f. is ε = BLvN.
- The magnitude of the induced e.m.f. increases if the conductor length in the field increases, the magnetic field strength increases, or the conductor cuts field lines faster.
Demonstrating Induction
- Experiment 1: Moving a bar magnet through a coil connected to a voltmeter induces an e.m.f. only while the magnet is moving.
- When the magnet is stationary, the voltmeter reads zero because the rate of change of flux is zero.
- When the magnet moves into the coil, a reading is observed; when it is removed, the reading is in the opposite direction.
- Increasing the speed of the magnet increases the magnitude of the induced e.m.f. because the rate of change of flux increases.
- Experiment 2: Moving a wire between two magnets induces an e.m.f. only while the wire is moving.
- The magnitude of the induced e.m.f. increases with the length of wire, the speed of movement, and the strength of the magnets.
Electromagnetic induction

Magnetic Flux
- Magnetic flux is the product of the magnetic flux density and the cross-sectional area perpendicular to the field.
- It is calculated using Φ = BA when the field is perpendicular to the area.
- The unit of magnetic flux is the weber (Wb).
- Magnetic flux is maximum when the field lines are perpendicular to the plane of the area (θ = 0°).
- Magnetic flux is zero when the field lines are parallel to the plane of the area (θ = 90°).
- When the field is not perpendicular, the component of B perpendicular to the area is used: Φ = BA cos θ, where θ is the angle between the field lines and the normal to the area.
Magnetic Flux Linkage
- Magnetic flux linkage is the product of magnetic flux and the number of turns of a coil.
- It is calculated using NΦ = BAN.
- The unit of magnetic flux linkage is the weber turn (Wb turns).
- An e.m.f. is induced when the magnetic flux linkage changes with respect to time.
- This occurs when there is a change in magnetic flux density B, cross-sectional area A, or angle θ.
- For a rotating coil, flux linkage is given by NΦ = BAN cos θ.
Faraday's Law of Induction
- Faraday's law states that the magnitude of an induced e.m.f. is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linkage.
- It is expressed as ε = N (ΔΦ / Δt).
- When a coil is vertical relative to the field lines, flux linkage is maximum and no e.m.f. is induced.
- When a coil is horizontal relative to the field lines, flux linkage is zero and the e.m.f. is maximum.
- The induced e.m.f. varies sinusoidally and is 90° out of phase with the flux linkage.
Lenz's Law
- Lenz's law states that the induced e.m.f. is such that it will oppose the change causing it.
- It is a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy.
- Combined with Faraday's law, it is given by ε = −N (ΔΦ / Δt).
- The negative sign indicates that the induced e.m.f. opposes the change in magnetic flux.
- When a magnet approaches a coil, the coil induces a pole to repel the magnet; when the magnet leaves, the coil induces a pole to attract it.
- Work must be done to overcome the opposing force, which is consistent with energy conservation.
Self Induction and Mutual Induction
- Self-induction is the effect in which a change in current in a circuit induces an e.m.f. that opposes the change in current in the same circuit.
- The induced e.m.f. in self-induction is called a back e.m.f. and is proportional to the negative rate of change of current.
- Mutual induction is the effect in which a change in current in one circuit induces an e.m.f. in a neighbouring circuit.
- An important application of mutual induction is the transformer.
- A transformer changes high alternating voltage at low current to low alternating voltage at high current, and vice versa.
- A transformer consists of a primary coil, a secondary coil, and a soft iron core.
- A step-up transformer has more turns in the secondary coil than the primary; a step-down transformer has more turns in the primary coil.
AC Generators
- An AC generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy in the form of alternating current.
- It consists of a coil rotating in a uniform magnetic field, connected to a centre-reading meter via slip rings and brushes.
- The induced e.m.f. and current alternate direction as the coil rotates.
- The maximum e.m.f. occurs when the coil cuts through the most field lines (plane parallel to field).
- The flux linkage is given by NΦ = BAN cos ωt, where ω is the angular speed.
- The induced e.m.f. is given by ε = ε₀ sin ωt or ε = BANω sin ωt.
- Increasing the frequency of rotation increases both the frequency and the amplitude of the alternating voltage.
- Doubling the angular speed doubles the maximum induced e.m.f. and doubles the frequency.
