Key Topics to Revise

1

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
2

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
3

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
4

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
