Complete topic list for Electromagnetic Induction in Kerala Board Class 12 Physics. Key concepts, sub-topics, and what to focus on for board exams.
Topics in Electromagnetic Induction
Electromagnetic Induction and Faraday's Law
- Electromagnetic induction occurs when magnetic flux through a conductor changes with time
- Faraday discovered that steady magnetic field does not induce current - only changing magnetic field does
- Current is induced when: (a) magnet moves relative to coil, (b) coil moves in magnetic field, (c) current in nearby coil changes
Motional EMF and Eddy Currents
- Motional emf is induced when conductor moves in magnetic field due to magnetic force on charge carriers
- For rod moving perpendicular to uniform field: ε = BLv
- Eddy currents are induced currents in bulk conductors when placed in changing magnetic field
Self-Inductance and Mutual Inductance
- Self-inductance (L) relates magnetic flux through coil to current in same coil: φ = LI
- Self-induced emf opposes change in current: ε = -L(dI/dt)
- Unit of inductance is henry (H): 1 H = 1 Wb/A = 1 V·s/A
AC and DC Generators
- Generators convert mechanical energy to electrical energy using electromagnetic induction
- AC generator produces sinusoidal emf: ε(t) = ε₀ sin ωt where ε₀ = NBAω
- DC generator uses split-ring commutator to convert AC to pulsating DC
