Magnetic Flux and Faraday’s

Law of Electromagnetic

Induction

In Uniform magnetic field the above expression can be written

as

 The total magnetic flux linked with the coil is the flux

linked with each turn multiplied by the number of turns.

Thus,

f = BAN cos θ

Where θ is the angle between normal to the plane of the

coil and the direction of the magnetic field.

Faraday’s Laws of Electro Magnetic

Induction

1. Whenever the magnetic flux linked with a conducting

loop or coil changes, an e.m.f is induced in it.

2. The induced emf is directly proportional to the rate of

change of magnetic flux through the coil.

Motional EMF

 When a conductor moves through a magnetic field so as

to cut the field lines, an induced emf will exist across its

ends, in accordance with Faraday’s law.

 The direction of the induced emf and consequent

current can be deduced from Fleming’s right hand rule.

Fleming’s Right Hand Rule

 The right hand is held with the thumb, index finger and

middle finger mutually perpendicular to each other (at

right angles), as shown in the diagram.

 The thumb is pointed in the direction of the motion of

the conductor relative to the magnetic field.

 The fore finger is pointed in the direction of the

magnetic field.

 Then the middle finger represents the direction of the

induced or generated current within the conductor

(from the terminal with lower electric potential to the

terminal with higher electric potential, as in a voltage

source)

Self Induction

i.e., Nf ∝ I ⇒ Nf = LI

Where ‘L’ is the constant of proportionality and is known as

coefficient of self induction (or) self inductance.

 Energy stored in an inductor: Because of its self

induced back emf, work must be done to increase the

current through a coil having self inductance (called

inductor) from zero to a value i. This work will be

stored as energy in the magnetic field established in the

coil and is given by
