Topics covered in Electromagnetic Induction for JEE Advanced Physics.
Topics in Electromagnetic Induction
1
Magnetic Flux and Faraday's Law
- Magnetic flux φB = B⃗ · S⃗ = BS cos θ, where θ is angle between B⃗ and area vector S⃗
- SI unit of magnetic flux is Weber (Wb) = Tesla·m² = N·m/A
- Gauss's law for magnetism: ∮ B⃗ · dS⃗ = 0 (no magnetic monopoles exist)
2
Lenz's Law and Direction of Induced Current
- Lenz's law: Direction of induced current opposes the change causing it
- Provides physical meaning to negative sign in Faraday's law
- Attraction-repulsion concept: moving magnets and loops repel when approaching, attract when separating
3
Motional EMF
- EMF induced when conductor moves through magnetic field: ε = Blv
- Direction given by right-hand rule: fingers along B⃗, thumb along v⃗, palm faces higher potential
- Moving rod on rails creates complete circuit with current i = Blv/R
4
Self-Inductance and Inductors
- Self-inductance L = Nφ/i = -ε/(di/dt), measured in Henry (H)
- Inductor opposes changes in current, not steady current
- For solenoid: L = μ₀N²S/l = μ₀n²V
