When the magnet moves relative
to coil, a current is induced in the
coil.
Reversing the magnet N and S
poles reverses the deflection.
Moving the coil to the magnet
produces the same deflection as
moving the magnet to the coil –
only the relative motion of coil
and magnet matters.

The magnetic forces induce a current to flow around the coil.
The emf induced between the ends of a conductor that is moving in
a magnetic field is:
V = vLB
The induced emf is the same whether the coil moves or the
magnet moves, only the relative motion matters.

Prob. 22.2/4: “Tethered Satellite Experiment”. A 20,000 m length of
wire is trailed behind the shuttle while in orbit around the earth. The
orbital speed of the shuttle is 7600 m/s.
If the earth’s magnetic field at the position of the shuttle is 5.1! 10
and the wire moves perpendicular to the field, what is the induced emf
between the ends of the wire?
V = vLB = 7600! 20,000! 5.1! 10

Prob. 22.4/2: The drawing shows a type of blood flow meter. Blood is
conductive enough that it can be treated as a moving conductor. When it
flows perpendicular to a magnetic field, electrodes can be used to measure
the small voltage that develops across the vessel.
Suppose the speed of the blood is 0.3 m/s, the diameter of the vessel is 5.

Prob. 22.5: Each rod of length L = 1.3 m moves at speed v = 2.7 m/s in a
magnetic field, B = 0.45 T. Find the motional emf for each.
The moving rod now generates its own emf that opposes the emf of the
battery (a “back emf”). The current therefore decreases. The rod
continues to accelerate until the current is reduced to zero (assuming no
friction).

The emf induced between the ends of the falling
rod is:
V = vLB
No current is flowing, so there is no magnetic
force on the rod.
The resistor R completes the circuit, so that
current flows and there is now a magnetic force
resisting the gravitational force that
accelerates the rod downwards.
The rod stops accelerating when the magnetic
force is equal to the weight of the rod.

frictionless vertical copper tracks at a constant speed of 4 m/s
perpendicular to a 0.5 T magnetic field.

Changing the area of the loop also
induces an emf.
An emf is induced in the coil
whenever the number of field lines
passing through the coil changes.
The number of field lines is a
measure of “ magnetic flux ”.
! There is an induced emf
whenever there is a change of
magnetic flux passing through the
coil.

As the rod is moved to the right, the area of the closed loop increases and

Prob. 22.33: A circular loop of wire rests on a table. A long, straight wire
lies on this loop over its centre.
The current I in the straight wire is increasing. In what direction is the
induced current, if any, in the loop?
A wire is bent into a circular loop as shown. The radius of the circle is 2
cm. A constant magnetic field B = 0.55 T is directed perpendicular to the
plane of the loop. Someone grabs the ends of the wire and pulls it taut, so
the radius shrinks to zero in 0.25 s.

If the return current (green) is equal to the supply current (red), the magnetic
fluxes around the iron ring are equal and opposite and cancel.
If the currents differ, the fluxes do not
cancel and there is a net flux varying at
60 Hz, which induces a current in the
sensing coil.
