Lesson 13.4 Table of Contents

We have learned about two aspects of magnetism.

Each aspect has its own equations and rules for

determining direction.

Aspect 1: CurrentCreates B Field

Aspect 2: B Field Exerts Force on Current and Moving Charge

Author Schorschi2; Public Domain Author Stan Eisenstein

Introduction

Aspect 1 is that current creates a B field. The B

field lines near a long straight wire form circles. The

direction of the those circles can be determined

using the Right Hand Rule:

If you point the thumb of your right hand in the direction of the current, then your fingers will curl in the direction of the magnetic field lines.

Author Schorschi2; Public Domain

Introduction

The size of the B field produced by a long straight

wire is given by the equation:

B = m0I/2pR or B = kI/R

Where ‘I’ represents the size of the current, ‘R’

represents the distance from the wire, and m0 represents a constant equal to 4p x 10-7 Tesla·meters/Ampere.

k = m0/2p = 2.0 x 10-7 T·m/A

Introduction

A coil of wire, called a solenoid, creates a strong

uniform field inside the coil and a weak, near-zero,

field outside the coil.

Introduction

It is important to be clear about which aspect of

magnetism is being asked about in problems. We

have already seen one problem in which both Aspects 1 and 2 are included. One current

created a B field (Aspect 1) and a second current in that

field experienced a force (Aspect 2).

Consider a wire that is pushed across a magnetic

field. Consider that there are positive charges in the

wire crossing the field.

Question 1: Use the Right Hand Rule to determine

how those charges are affected.

The result of these charges being forced downward

the top is charged negative.

It doesn’t matter whether the wire loop is moving

an induced EMF generating a current.

Electromagnetic Induction

Once the loop is entirely inside the B field, each of

the wires moving across the field experiences forces

on the charges within them. An equal EMF of same

polarity is generated in each wire. The result is that

no current is generated, though one side of the loop

is positive and the other negative.

In the 1830’s Michael Faraday derived an equation

that described the induced EMF in a wire loop under

various conditions: Moving a loop or coil through a

B field; changing the strength of a B field; rotating a

coil within a B field. Click to animate

Faraday’s Law states that the induced EMF is equal

to the number of loops in a coil times the rate at

which the “Magnetic Flux” changes.

E = N(DFB/Dt)

Where E is the induced EMF, N is the number of

loops in a coil, FB is the magnetic flux (defined in the

next slides), t is time.

Faraday’s Law

Before we can use Faraday’s Law, we must first

define “Magnetic Flux”. Magnetic Flux can be considered to be a measure of the amount of B field that passes through an area.

In case A, a wire rectangle lies in the plane of the

screen/page. To get a sense of the meaning of Magnetic Flux, we can count the number of B

field lines passing through the loop. For case A

there are 12 lines passing through the loop.

One way to change the Magnetic Flux is to change

the area of the loop. In case B, a loop with a smaller

area is in the same B field. This time there are only 6

B field lines passing through the loop. The flux is

reduced compared to case A.

Flux a Area

Another way to change the Magnetic Flux is to change the strength of the B field. In case C, a

loop with the same area is in a weaker B field (as depicted by the field line density). This time

there are only 4 B field lines passing through the

loop. The flux is reduced compared to case A.

A third way to change the Magnetic Flux is to change orientation between the loop and the

B field. In case D, a loop with the same area is in the

same B field. The loop has been rotated, with the

top of the loop moved toward you and the bottom

moved away. There are 6 B

field lines passing through the loop. The flux is reduced compared to case A.

Flux a Orientation

If we view the loop and field from the side, we see

that the flux is a maximum when the plane of the

loop is perpendicular to the field (A). It is a minimum

(i.e. zero) when the plane of the loop is parallel to

the field (E).

DA D E

In order to quantify the orientation between the loop

and the field, we define a “direction” for an Area

“vector” to be perpendicular to the plane of the area.

In case A, the Area Vector points right (or left). In

case E, the Area Vector points down (or up).

Area Vector

Magnetic Flux is defined by the equation:

FB = BAcosq

where FB represents magnetic flux, B represents the

strength of the field, A represents the area of the

loop, and q represents the angle between the Area

and B field vectors.

Faraday’s Law

FB = BAcosq

when counting B field lines passing through the

loop. As B increases, FB increases.

E = N(DFB/Dt) FB = BAcosq

Faraday’s Law states that induced EMF is directly

proportional to the number of loops in a coil and to

the rate at which the magnetic flux changes. The

faster the flux changes, the greater the EMF.

Question 3: Based on Faraday’s Law, what is the unit for EMF?

Faraday’s Law

E = N(DFB/Dt) FB = BAcosq

Answer 3: Tesla·meter2/second. This unit is equivalent to a volt.

B = F/qv Tesla = Newton·second/coulomb·meter

Tesla·meter2/second =

(Newton·second/coulomb·meter)(meter2/second) =

Newton·meter/coulomb = Joule/coulomb = volt

three different ways that you can generate an EMF?

Faraday’s Law

Author - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hoover_Dam_turbines.JPG; Public Domain

E = N(DFB/Dt) FB = BAcosq

Answer 4: An EMF is generated by changing FB.

This is done by a) changing B, b) changing A or

c) changing q. Let’s explore each of these scenarios.

b) Once the loop is entirely within the field, FB is constant; it is no longer changing. This makes the induced EMF equal to zero.

Unfortunately, the Right Hand Rule is not easy to

apply in all induction situations. For instance, if the

wire loop does not move, but the B field changes

size, then there is no velocity and the Right Hand

If FB ↑, Thumb = B; If FB ↓, Thumb opp. B; Fingers = I.

Answer 8d: CW.

Since the current is increasing, the strength of the

field and the flux are increasing. The Left Hand Rule shows that the induced current must be CW.

The more traditional method of determining the

direction of induced current is called “Lenz’s Law”.

Lenz’s Law states that a current is induced in a

direction that resists the change in flux.

Let’s explore Lenz’s Law in some of the examples

we have already discussed.

For a loop being pushed into a B field, the FB is clearly increasing. Lenz’s Law states that the induced current should resist this increase in

FB. How might this occur?

vI A

We know from the Right and Left Hand Rules that a

CW current is induced in the loop. This is according

to Aspect 3 – Electromagnetic Induction.

Now consider Wire A. It conducts a current across a

B field. Consider Aspect 2 of Magnetism – a B field

exerts a force on a Current. The B field will exert a

force on this induced current.

Answer 9a: Left.

The fingers point toward you, in the direction of the

B field. The Thumb points down, in the direction of

the current. The palm points Left, in the direction of

the Force on the current.

Answer 9a: Left.

Notice that as the loop tries to enter the field and

increase the flux, the field tries to push the loop back

out, resisting the increase.

Question 9b: Now consider as the loop leaves the

field. We have already determined that the induced

current flows CCW. Use the Right Hand Rule to determine the direction of the force that the B

field exerts on the current in wire C.

Answer 9b: Left. The force points in the same direction that it did when the loop was

entering the field. Now the flux is reducing as the loop

leaves the field. The B field exerts a force that resists the reduction of flux – it tries to pull the loop back

into the field.

Lenz’s Law relates to the conservation of energy.

The force from the field must oppose the velocity. If

the force were in the same direction as the velocity,

the speed would keep getting faster, creating Kinetic

Energy out of nothing.

Consider now a loop in a B field that points away

that is decreasing in strength. We have already

determined that a clockwise current is induced.

Since the flux is reducing, the induced current must

somehow try it resist the change. The new current

creates its own B field within the loop (Aspect 1).

Answer 9c: The induced current generates a field

away from you inside the loop.

As the decreasing B field reduces the flux, the induced current generates its own field to

reinforce the original field, resisting the decrease in flux.
