Formulas Sheet for Electro Magnetic Induction

1. Magnetic flux

Φ = ∫\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \cdot \mathrm{d} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}\)
If the surface is closed, then
Φ = \(\oint \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \cdot \mathrm{d} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}\)
because magnetic lines of force are closed lines and free magnetic poles do not exist.
B = \(\frac{\phi}{A}\)

2. Electromagnetic induction: faradayΓÇÖs laws

(a) First law:
Whenever there is a change in the magnetic flux linked with a circuit with time, an induced emf is produced in the circuit which lasts as long as the change in magnetic flux continues.

(b) Second Law:
e ∝ \(\left(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\right)\)

3. LenzΓÇÖs law

The direction of the induced emf or current in the circuit is such that it opposes the cause due to which it is produced, so that,
e = – N \(\left(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\right)\)
N → No. of turns in coil.
LenzΓÇÖs law based on energy conservation.

4. Emf current and charge induced in the circuit

(a) Induced emf e = – N \(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\) = – \(\frac{\mathrm{N}\left(\phi_{2}-\phi_{1}\right)}{\mathrm{t}}\)

(b) Induced current I = \(\frac{\mathrm{e}}{\mathrm{R}}=-\frac{\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{R}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{d} \phi}{\mathrm{dt}}\right)=-\frac{\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{R}} \frac{\left(\phi_{2}-\phi_{1}\right)}{\mathrm{t}}\)

(c) Induced charge q = – \(\frac{\mathrm{N}\left(\phi_{2}-\phi_{1}\right)}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{\mathrm{N}\left(\phi_{1}-\phi_{2}\right)}{\mathrm{R}}\)
Induced charge depends only on net change in flux does not depends on rate of change in flux.

5. Emf induced due to linear motion of a conducting rod in a uniform magnetic field

e = –\(\vec{\ell} \cdot(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}})\)
If \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{e}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}} \text { and } \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}\) are perpendicular to each other then
e = Bvl volt

6. Induced emf due to rotation of a conducting rod in a uniform magnetic field
e = \(\frac{1}{2}\) Bwl2 = Bπnl2 = BAn
where n is the frequency of rotation.

╬ö╬ª = (B2 – B1) lv╬öt

(ii) Emf induced in the coil
e = (B1 – B2)l v

(iii) If the resistance of the coil is R, then the current induced in the coil
I = \(\frac{\mathrm{e}}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{\left(\mathrm{B}_{1}-\mathrm{B}_{2}\right)}{\mathrm{R}} \ell \mathrm{v}\)

(iv) Resultant force acting on the coil

(v) The work done against the resultant force
W = (B1 – B2)2 \(\frac{\ell^{2} \mathbf{v}^{2}}{\mathrm{R}}\) ╬öt joule R
Energy supplied in this process appears in the form of heat energy in the circuit.

(vi) Energy supplied due to flow of current I in time Δt
H = I2R Δt
or H = (B1 – B2)2 \(\frac{\ell^{2} \mathbf{v}^{2}}{\mathrm{R}}\) ╬öt joule
or H = W

(d) Emf and current induced in the coil are alternating emf and alternating current.

10. Self induction and self inductance (L)

On changing the current in a coil, a induced e.m.f. is produced in the coil I NOTES then the phenomenon is called self induction j
(i) Φ ∝ I or Φ = LI
or L = \(\frac{\phi}{\mathrm{I}}\)

(ii) e = – L\(\frac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{dt}}\)
where L is a constant, called self inductance or coefficient of self-induction.
or L = \(\frac{\mathrm{e}}{-(\mathrm{dI} / \mathrm{dt})}\)

(iii) Self inductance of a circular coil
L = \(\frac{\mu_{0} N^{2} \pi R}{2}=\frac{\mu_{0} N^{2} A}{2 R}\)

(iv) Self inductance of a solenoid

L = L1 + L2 …. Ln

(b) For parallel combination:
\(\frac{1}{L}=\frac{1}{L_{1}}+\frac{1}{L_{2}} \ldots \ldots . \frac{1}{L_{n}}\)

11. Mutual induction and mutual inductance

(a) On changing the current in one coil, if the magnetic flux linked with a § second coil changes and induced e.m.f. is produced in that coil, then this phenomenon is called mutual induction.

(b) Φ2 ∝ I1 or Φ2 = MI1
or M = \(\frac{\phi_{2}}{I_{1}}\)

(c) e2 = –\(\frac{\mathrm{d} \phi_{2}}{\mathrm{dt}}\) = -M \(\frac{\mathrm{dI}_{1}}{\mathrm{dt}}\) or M = \(\frac{\mathrm{e}_{2}}{-\left(\mathrm{dI}_{1} / \mathrm{dt}\right)}\)

(d) M12 = M21 = M

(e) Mutual inductance of two coaxial solenoids
M = \(\frac{\mu_{0} N_{1} N_{2} A}{\ell}\)

(f) If two coils of self inductance L1 and L2 are wound over each other, the mutual inductance is given by
M =K \(\sqrt{\mathrm{L}_{1} \mathrm{L}_{2}}\)
where K is called coupling constant.

(g) For two coils wound in same direction and connected in series
L = L1 + L2 + 2M
For two coils wound in opposite direction and connected in series
L = L1 + L2 – 2M
For two coils in parallel
L = \(\frac{L_{1} L_{2}-M^{2}}{L_{1}+L_{2} \pm 2 M}\)

12. Energy stored in an inductor

Energy stores in the form of M.F.
