Electromagnetic Induction
Introduction
Experiments performed by scientists like Oersted, Ampere etc, during the early years of 19 th century established
that magnetic fields may be produced using electric currents. It was natural to enquire whether an electric current
be produced using magnetic fields. Producing electric currents from magnetic fields was not so easy as to produce
magnetic fields from currents. However, careful experimental observations made independently by Michael
Faraday in England and Joseph Henry in USA around the year 1831, showed that under certain conditions electrical
current can be produced using magnetic fields. It was found that when the magnetic flux linked with a loop of a
conductor changes there will be an electric current in the loop. The phenomenon in which an emf is developed in a
conductor due to the change in the magnetic flux linked with it is called the electromagnetic induction. Almost all
the entire electrical energy used in the world today is produced making use of electromagnetic induction.
Magnetic flux
The number of field lines passing normally across a surface is called the flux across the
surface. The flux associated with a magnetic field is defined in a manner similar to that
used to define electric flux. Let dS be an element of area on an arbitrary shaped surface 
as shown. If the magnetic field at this element is B , the magnetic flux through the
element is,
dB = B  dS  BdScos  .
dS here is a vector that is perpendicular to the surface and has a magnitude equal to the area dS and  is the angle
between B and dS . In general dB varies from element to element. The total magnetic flux through the surface is
the sum of the contributions from the individual area elements.
B =  Bds cos    B  dS

(i)Magnetic flux is a scalar quantity (dot product of two vector quantities is a scalar quantity)
(ii) The SI unit of magnetic flux is tesla–meter2 (1 T-m2). This unit is called weber (1 Wb)
1 Wb = 1 T-m2 = I N-m/A
 Thus unit of magnetic field is also weber/m2 (1 Wb/m2),
or 1 T = 1 Wb/m2
In the special case where B is uniform over a plane surface with total area S and is normal to the surface then cos   1 and
B = BS

Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction

The results of systematic experimental observations made by Faraday may be summarised in the form laws called
Faradays laws of electromagnetic induction.
These laws states that
(i) whenever the flux of magnetic field through the area bounded by a closed conducting loop changes, an emf is
produced in the loop, and
(ii) the magnitude of emf induced in a coil is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux linked with the coil.
d
The induced emf is given by E   ...(1)

where    B  dS is the flux of the magnetic field through that area.
The law described by equation (1) is called Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. The flux may be changed
in a number of ways. One can change the magnitude of the magnetic field B at the site of the loop, the area of the
loop or the angle between the area-vector dS and the magnetic field B . In any case, as long as the flux keeps

of the loop, the current then is

Direction of induced current

Lenz’s law
Soon after Faraday gave his law of induction, Lenz devised a rule-now known as Lenz‟s law for finding the
direction of an induced current in a loop.
An induced current has a direction such that the magnetic field due to this current opposes the change in the
magnetic flux that induces the current.
Furthermore, the direction of an induced emf is same as that of the induced current.
Motional electromotive force
(emf induced in a rod moving in a magnetic field)
(emf Until now, we considered the cases where an emf is induced   
++
in a stationary circuit placed in a magnetic field when the field ++
changes with time. We now describe what is called motional emf,   
which is the emf induced in a conductor when it is moving l

through a constant magnetic field.   


The straight conductor of length l shown in figure is moving 
through a uniform magnetic field directed into the page (denoted   
by the sign ). For simplicity let us assume that the conductor is
moving in a direction perpendicular to the field with constant velocity under the influence of some external agent.
The electrons in the conductor experience a force, Fm  e(v  B)
Under the influence of this force, the electrons move to the lower end of the conductor and accumulate there,
leaving a net positive charge at the upper end. As a result of this charge separation, an electric field is produced
inside the conductor. The charges accumulate at both ends until magnetic force evB which is along downward
direction is balanced by the upward electric force eE. At equilibrium electrons stop moving. The condition for
equilibrium requires that, eE = evB or E = vB
The electric field produced in the conductor (once the electrons stop moving and E is constant) is related to the
potential difference across the ends of the conductor by,
V = El = Blv
 V = Blv
where the upper end is at a higher electric potential than the lower end.
Thus, “a potential difference is maintained between the ends of the conductor as long as the conductor continues to
move through the uniform magnetic field.”
Now let us suppose the moving rod slides along a stationary U-shaped conductor, forming a complete circuit. No
magnetic force acts on the charges in the stationary U-shaped conductor, but there is an electric field resulting from
the charge accumulations at a and b. Under the action of this field a counter clockwise current is established around

this complete circuit. The moving rod acts as a source of electromotive force. Within it, positive charge moves
from lower to higher potential and in the remainder of the circuit, charge moves from higher to lower potential. We
call this a motional electromagnetic force denoted by e, we can write,
e = Bvl …(1)
If R is the resistance of the circuit, then current in the circuit is,

Fleming’s right hand rule

The direction of induced emf in a conductor in a magnetic field is given by Fleming’s right hand rule.
If the fingers of the right hand are held such that the fore finger, middle finger and the thumb are mutually
perpendicular and the fore finger shows the direction of field and the thumb shows the direction of motion of the
conductor then the middle finger shows the direction of induced current. This principle is used in ac generator.

Induced electric field

Consider a conducting loop which is located in a magnetic field B . The free electrons cannot flow in the loop until
an electric field is applied. As long as B is constant no electric field is induced. Suppose the flux of magnetic
induction through the loop starts changing say at t = 0, then an electric field E is produced. Obviously this electric
field is produced by the changing magnetic field and not by charged particles.
d d
Using Faraday‟s law of induction, induced emf „e‟ is given by e =  or,  E  dl =  .
dt dt
A conducting closed loop need not be there to have an induced electric field E . As long as B keeps changing, the
induced electric field is present. If a closed loop is there, the free electrons start drifting and consequently an
induced current results. Changing of B is not the only method of producing an induced electric field and
consequently an induced emf. There are other methods also.
Various methods of producing induced emf
The three major methods generally employed are
(i) change of B , the magnetic field acting on the object
(ii) change of area of material
(iii) change of relative orientation of surface area and the applied magnetic field

Inductors and inductance

An inductor is a coil of wire (conductor) with a number of turns as shown in the figure.
Such an inductor can be used to produce a desired magnetic field. It is essentially a short

5
Physics Smart Booklet
solenoid. Here we consider a long solenoid (specifically, a short length near the middle of a long solenoid) as our
basic type of inductor. If a current i is established in the windings of an inductor (a solenoid), the current produces
a magnetic flux B through the central region of the inductor.
B  I or B = LI
The constant of proportionality L is called the inductance of the inductor. Then,
N B
L= … (1)
i
where N is the number of turns. The windings of the inductor share the flux, and the product NB is called the
magnetic flux linkage. The inductance L is thus a measure of the flux linkage produced in the inductor per unit of
current.
As the SI unit of magnetic flux is tesla-square meter, the SI unit of inductance is the tesla-square meter per ampere
(T. m2/A). This is called henry (H), after American physicist Joseph Henry.
Thus, 1 henry = 1 H = 1 T . m2/A.
Inductance of a solenoid
Let us consider a long solenoid of cross-sectional area A. Let us find the inductance per unit length near its middle.
Consider a length l near the middle of this solenoid. The flux linkage for this section of the solenoid with total
number of turns N is
NB = (nl)(BA)
n being the number of turns per unit length of the solenoid and B being the magnitude of the magnetic field within
the solenoid.
The magnitude B as we already know, is given by B = 0 in,
so from equation
N B (nl)(BA) (nl)(0in)(A)
L=   = 0 n2 lA
i i i
L
The inductance per unit length for a long solenoid near its centre is = 0n2A
l
Hence one can conclude that the inductance only depends on the geometry of the device.
Self induction
L
Self induction is the property of a coil by virtue of which, the coil opposes any change
in the current flowing through it by inducing an emf in itself. For this reason, self
induction is also referred to as the inertia of electricity. In the figure, current in a coil
L is changed by varying the contact position on a variable resistor, a self induced emf
appears in the coil while the current is changing. R
With current increasing, the self induced emf (e) across the coil appears in a direction
which opposes the increase.
i (increasing) i (decreasing)

i e i e

With decrease of current, the self induced emf (e) appears across the coil in a direction, such that it opposes the
decrease. Therefore, it would be in the direction of i.

Coefficient of self induction

Suppose I is the current flowing through a coil at any time and  is the amount of magnetic flux linked with the coil
at that time.
It is found that   I or  = Li,
where L is a constant of proportionality and is called coefficient of self induction or self inductance of the coil.
The emf induced in the coil is given by
d d dI
e=   (LI) or e = L
dt dt dt
dI
If = 1, then e = L  1 or L = e
dt
Hence coefficient of self induction of a coil is numerically equal to the emf induced in the coil when rate of change
of current through the coil is unity.
The SI unit of L is henry. Self inductance of a coil is said to be one henry (H) if a current changing at the rate of 1
ampere/sec through the coil induces an emf of 1 volt in the coil.
Energy stored in an inductor
L
In the LR circuit shown the current grows in the circuit and the magnetic field
increases in the inductor. Part of the work done by the battery during the process
is stored in the inductor as magnetic field energy and the rest appears as thermal R
energy in the resistor. After sufficient time, the current and hence the magnetic S
E
field becomes constant and further work done by the battery appears completely
as thermal energy. If I is the current in the circuit at time t, we have
t t i

or,  E i dt   i 2 R dt  Li 2 … (1)

The first term on right-hand side of equation (1) is the total thermal energy (Joule heat) developed in the resistor in
1
time t. Thus Li2 is the energy stored in the inductor as the current in it increases from 0 to i. As the energy is

zero when the current is zero, the energy stored in an inductor, carrying the current i, is

U  Li 2

Energy density in magnetic field

Let us consider a long solenoid of radius r, length l and with n turns per unit length. If it carries a current i, the
magnetic field within it is B = 0 ni
Neglecting the end effects, the field outside is zero. The self-inductance of this solenoid is
L = 0 n2r2l

The magnetic energy is, therefore, U = Li2 = 0 n2r2li2

Mutual induction
When the current passing through a coil or circuit changes, the magnetic IP IS

flux linked with a neighbouring coil or circuit will also change. Hence an changing
current
emf will therefore be induced in the neighbouring coil or circuit. The Load
 P S R
phenomenon in which an emf is induced in one coil due to the changing
M
current in a neighbouring coil is called as mutual induction. The coil or
circuit in which the current changes is called primary while the other in which emf is set up is called secondary.
In case for two coils situated close to each other, flux linked with the secondary due to current in the primary, i.e.,
s is given by
S  IP or S = MIP … (1)
where M is a constant of proportionality called coefficient of mutual induction or simply mutual inductance of the
pair of coils. From equation (1)
M = S if IP = 1A
That is coefficient of mutual inductance of two coils or circuits is numerically equal to the flux linked with one
circuit or coil when unit current flows through the other.

of current in the other coil is unity.

2. An inductance is said to be ideal with no resistance. In practice inductance always has a
resistance, i.e., one cannot have inductance without having resistance. i.e., one can have a
resistance with or without having inductance. A resistance without inductance is called non- R  0 and L  0
inductive resistance.

Relation between mutual inductance and self inductance

The mutual inductance M of two coils or circuits having self-inductance L1 and L2 is given by
M = k L1L 2 … (1)
k being a constant called coefficient of coupling. If the coils are wound over each other the coupling is said to be
„tight‟ otherwise „loose‟. For tight coupling k = 1 and so M = L1L 2 while for loose coupling
0 < k < 1 and hence M < L1L 2 .
Furthermore, from expression (1) it is also clear that if L = 0, M will be zero, i.e., a system cannot have mutual
inductance without having self-inductances. However, converse may or may not be true, i.e., if mutual inductance
of a system is zero it may or may not have self-inductances, as M = 0 can be satisfied either by setting k = 0 or L =
0.

Inductors in series and parallel

If two coils of inductance L1 and L2 are connected in series, then the effective inductance of the combination of
coils is L = L1 + L2 + 2M … (1)
where M is the coefficient of mutual inductance between the coils.
If the two coils are separated by a large distance
M  0 and Ls = L1 + L2 … (2)
If the two coils are connected in parallel and separated by a large distance, the effective inductance of the
combination L is given by the relation

1 1 1 L1L 2
  … (3) or L p  … (4)
L P L1 L 2 L1  L 2
We see that combination of inductances behave as that of resistances, when mutual inductance is negligible.

having a magnetic field. Suppose a loop is drawn on the plate, a part

of which is inside the field. As the plate moves, the magnetic flux through the area bound by the loop undergoes a
change and induces a current. There may be a number of such loops on the plate and hence currents are induced on
the surface along various paths. Such currents are referred to as eddy currents. We do not have a definite
conducting loop to guide the induced current. The system itself looks for the loops on the surface along which eddy
currents are induced. Because of the eddy currents in the metal plate, thermal energy is produced in it. This energy
comes at the cost of the kinetic energy of the plate and the plate slows down. This is known as electromagnetic
damping. To reduce electromagnetic damping, one can cut slots in the plate. This reduces the possible paths of the
eddy current considerably.
For example, when we move a metal plate out of a magnetic field, the relative motion between the field and the
conductor again induces a current in the conductor. The conduction electrons making up the induced current whirl
about within the plate as if they were caught in an eddy (or whirlpool) of water. This is called the eddy current.

When North Pole of the magnet approaches the coil, emf is induced such that left face behaves like North Pole.
When South Pole leaves coil, the emf is induced such that right face behaves like North Pole (thus left face like
South Pole). At the right side external bar is momentarily at rest and thus there has to be a break after half cycle.
Similar arguments hold good when magnet moves from right to left. The correct option is (A).

If so the speed of magnet is fast then correspondingly rate of change of flux is fast & e is maximum. It
does not depend on the resistance of coil.
2. (b) A cylindrical bar magnet is kept along the axis of a circular coil. If the magnet is rotated about its axis,
then there is no change in magnetic flux, there is no emf induced in the coil, no current will be induced in the coil
3. (d) When the coils P and Q are brought nearer, the magnetic flux linked with each coil will increase and
the induced current will induces in the direction opposite to original current according to Lenz law and
hence current in both P and Q decreases.

17. (a) When a north pole of a bar magnet moves towards the coil, the induced current in the coil flows in a
direction such that the coil presents its north pole to the bar magnet as shown in figure (a). Therefore, the
induced current flows in the coil in the anticlockwise direction. When a north pole of a bar magnet moves
away from the coil, the induced current in the coil flows in a direction such that the coil presents its south
pole to the bar magnet as shown in figure (b).

Therefore induced current flows in the coil in the clockwise direction.
