Key Topics to Revise

1

Introduction and Historical Background

  • Electricity and magnetism were initially considered separate phenomena
  • Oersted, Ampere showed moving charges produce magnetic fields
  • Faraday (England) and Henry (USA) discovered electromagnetic induction around 1830
2

Faraday and Henry's Experiments

  • Experiment 1: Moving magnet near coil induces current - deflection only during motion
  • Experiment 2: Moving current-carrying coil near another coil induces current
  • Experiment 3: Changing current in one coil (using tapping key) induces current in nearby coil
3

Magnetic Flux

  • Magnetic flux is analogous to electric flux
  • Depends on magnetic field strength, area, and angle between field and area vector
  • For uniform field: ΦB = B·A = BA cos θ
4

Faraday's Law of Induction

  • EMF induced equals negative rate of change of magnetic flux
  • For N-turn coil: multiply by number of turns
  • Negative sign indicates direction (Lenz's law)
