Magnetic Flux

• Magnetic Flux (symbol B ) is a measure of the magnetic field strength present over a given area. The units are Weber (symbol Wb)

B=BA

Last year we looked at B magnetic field strength which is ΦB/A (that’s why B is also called flux density)

This year we are interested in;

Faraday’s Law of Induction

• Any change in a magnetic field will induce a voltage and thereby a current in a circuit. The faster this change occurs, the larger the induced voltage

(a voltage can be induced by a magnet moving in and out of a coil or past a conductor, a wire moving through a magnetic field, or by the growth or collapse of a magnetic field)

Page 5: Magnetic flux

Faraday’s Law of Induction

An emf (voltage) is induced in a circuit only if ΦB changes within the circuit, i.e.• if the magnitude of B changes.• if the direction of B changes• If the position of B changes• if the area enclosed by the circuit changes

Lenz’s Law

• An induced current is always in such a direction as to oppose the motion or change causing it

This helps explain the negative sign in Faraday’s Law;

Page 9: Magnetic flux

Direction of Induced Current

induced I opposes the motion of magnet (being attracted)

induced I opposes the motion of magnet (being repelled)

Page 10: Magnetic flux

Direction of Induced Current

In both cases, magnet moves against a force.Work is done during the motion & it is transferred as electrical energy.

Use the RH Grip rule for Solenoids and Lenz’s law to predict the magnetic poles formed by the coils below

Lenz’s LawPredict the poles and the current direction for each of the following;

Page 17: Magnetic flux

Lenz’s Law and Energy

• Lenz’s law makes sense if we think about the conservation of energy. The electrical energy induced must come from work being done.

e.g. a greater force (W=Fd) must be applied to move the magnet through a solenoid, than through open space, as some of the mechanical energy is being converted into electrical energy.

Page 18: Magnetic flux

Lenz’s Law –the Maths

• The induced emf produces a current that opposes the change that produces it (i.e. the emf tries to keep the flux constant or to compensate for the change in flux).

• Lenz’s law determines the direction of current flow and accounts for the negative sign in Faraday’s Law.

Induced Voltage (emf)

• An emf is induced in a conductor moving in a magnetic field. A conducting wire of length L moves perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic field B with constant velocity v.

Force on electrons in the wire:

BvqF

Since force F on electrons is upward, I is downward in the wire.

An emf is induced and a current flows in the wire as long as it movesin the magnetic field. (principle of the electric generator).

Page 20: Magnetic flux

Example

• A single rectangular loop of wire (0.230 Ω) sits in a region of uniform magnetic field of 0.450 T. Calculate the voltage induced in the loop as it is pulled out of the field (to the right) at a constant velocity of 3.40 m/s.

What is the magnitude and direction of thecurrent flowing in the loop during this motion?

Page 21: Magnetic flux

Working

V=BvL =0.450×3.4×0.350 =0.5355 V =0.536V (3sf) I=V/R =0.5335/0.230 =2.328A =2.33A (3sf) anticlockwise

Page 22: Magnetic flux

Example -rethink

This too is a Faraday’s law problem; =BA =0.450×0.350×0.350 =0.05512

Time taken to move through the field (B from 0.450T to 0T)t=d/v =0.350/3.4 =0.1029 s

Faraday’s LawV=Δ/ Δt =0.05512/0.1029 =0.5355V

Use any breadth for area as long as use same for distance travelled

Examples

1. The Airbus A380 has a wingspan of 78.6m. Calculate the induced voltage across the wingtips when it flies through the earth’s magnetic field (5×10-5T) (vertically down) at 900kmh-1

0.98V2. A coil connected to a voltmeter is moved through

a magnetic field of 0.2T at 2.4ms-1. Find the length of the coil if the induced voltage is 1.5V.

Why is it not possible to use the voltage in Question 1?

Page 24: Magnetic flux

Uses of Induction

1. The Electric Generator – using mechanical energy to turn a

motor and produce electrical energy.

2. The Transformer – uses one coil to induce a current in

another

3. The Inductor– an electrical component that produces

and induced current and behaves like a very efficient resistor in an AC circuit

Page 25: Magnetic flux

The Transformer• An electrical transformer is

an arrangement of two coils usually around a laminated iron core• The primary coil induces a

voltage and therefore a current in the secondary coil• The ratio of the number of

turns on each coil determines the output voltage of the secondary coil• Symbol;

Page 26: Magnetic flux

Iron Core

• The efficiency of a transformer is greatly increased by placing an iron core between the primary and secondary coils.

• The core greatly increases the magnetic field.• Cores are laminated to reduce inductance within the

core itself, which can cause eddy currents that result in energy loss through heating (resistance).

• Each laminate is insulated from it’s neighbour• The use of non-conducting, magnetic material such as

ferrite as a core also avoids eddy currents

Laminated Iron Core

Page 28: Magnetic flux

Types of Transformers

• There are three basic types of transformer;1.Step up Transformer– low voltage and higher output voltage

2.Isolating Transformer– Used to produce an “isolated” circuit that is

safe for using electrical appliances outdoors

3.Step down Transformer– High input voltage and lower output

Page 29: Magnetic flux

DC in Transformers

According to Faraday’s Law ;

voltage is induced only when the flux changesIn a DC circuit that is only when the current is switched on (field created) or off (field collapsed)

Page 30: Magnetic flux

AC in Transformers

• Transformers are most commonly used in AC circuits because the constantly changing direction of the current means that induction is continuous

• Transformer efficiency is never 100% as there are always “loses” of energy e.g heat, sound? etc. However good design has given some 99% efficiency

Inductance

Inductance is the ability of an inductor to store energy in a magnetic field

Page 37: Magnetic flux

Mutual Inductance

• Transformers use the changing current in the primary coil to induce a voltage in the secondary coil this is Mutual Inductance.

• The current in coil A can be changed by;– changing the resistance of

the variable resistor– switching the circuit on and

off– connecting it to an AC supply

Page 38: Magnetic flux

Mutual Inductance –the Maths

• When mutual inductance occurs the flux is proportional to the current in the primary coil

• Substituted into Faraday’s law;

• Units for mutual inductance is the Henry (symbol H)

Exercises

1. Two coils have a mutual inductance of 0.060H. Calculate the induced emf when the current in the 1 increases from 0 to 4.5A in 1.5s0.18V

2. Find the mutual inductance between two coils when the current in the 1 increases from 0 to 2.8A in 0.5s and the induced voltage is 80mV.0.014H

Page 40: Magnetic flux

Self Inductance

• When a switch is closed and current flows through a coil it will take time (usually a very short time) for the current to build up from 0 to a steady flow.

• As the current is increasing the magnetic flux in the coil is changing

• This change in flux induces a voltage and therefore a current in the coil

• This induced current is in such a direction so as to oppose the current that created it

• This is self-inductance• When the switch is closed the same thing happens with the

induced current in the opposite direction

Page 41: Magnetic flux

Self Inductance in AC• When an inductor is attached

to an AC supply the inductor behaves like a resistor restricting the flow of current

• The inductor is an efficient way to restrict current as it uses induction rather than resistance

• The inductor stores electrical energy in a magnetic field then releases it as electrical energy. The resistor converts some electrical energy to heat which is then “lost” from the circuit

Page 42: Magnetic flux

Self-inductance and Circuit Voltage

• A Neon bulb takes about 70V to ionise the gas and light the bulb

• Closing the switch causes current to flow and the inductor produces a small induced voltage briefly as the flux changes.

• Opening the switch however causes the lamp to light briefly

• Because of the high resistance of the lamp, the collapse of the field is very rapid o the induced voltage is large (>70V)

Page 43: Magnetic flux

Inductors• Inductors are electrical

components that make use of the principal described by Lenz’s law.

• They produce a magnetic field when current passes through them.

• This field induces a voltage and therefore a current that opposes the current that created it.

An Inductor is an electrical component that produces a voltage when the current (and therefore the magnetic field) changes

Page 44: Magnetic flux

Inductor Structure• The wire coil of the inductor is usually wound

around an iron core to increase the field strength• Because the inductor is a length of wire it has a

resistance so inductors are often drawn with a resistor in a similar way to the internal resistance of a battery

RVV Terminal

An ideal inductor has a resistance small enough to be ignored

Page 45: Magnetic flux

• When self inductance occurs the flux is proportional to the current in the inductor

• Substituted into Faraday’s law;

Energy stored in an Inductor

• Current in an inductor causes a magnetic field to form. Energy is stored in this field.

An inductor in a circuit with a bulb can delay the lighting of the bulb as the electrical energy is stored in the magnetic field
