2. Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction
Concept Explanation:
Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction quantifies the induced EMF in a
circuit due to a changing magnetic flux. It states that the EMF induced in a
circuit is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux through
the circuit.
Mathematical Formulation:
Faraday's Law is given by:
EMF = -dΦ_B/dt
where:
- EMF is the induced electromotive force,
- Φ_B is the magnetic flux.
In the case of a coil with N turns, the formula becomes:
EMF = -N × dΦ_B/dt
Example Problem:
A coil with 100 turns experiences a change in magnetic flux of 0.05 Wb (Weber)
over a time interval of 0.1 seconds. Calculate the induced EMF.
Solution:
Using Faraday's Law:
EMF = -N × dΦ_B/dt
EMF = -100 × 0.05/0.1 = -50 V
The magnitude of the induced EMF is 50 V. |
