Wire Coil

• Notice that a current carrying coil of wire will produce a perpendicular field

Magnetic Field: Coil• A series of coils produces a field similar

to a bar magnet – but weaker!

Solenoid

If a coil is wound on a steel rod and connected to a battery, the steel becomes magnetized and behaves like a permanent magnet.

Page 13: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Magnetic Field: Coil• Placing a ferrous material inside

the coil increases the magnetic field

• Acts to concentrate the field also notice field lines are parallel inside ferrous element

• ‘flux density’ has increased

Permeability

• Permeability μ is a measure of the ease by which a magnetic flux can pass through a material (Wb/Am)

• Permeability of free space μo = 4π x 10-7 (Wb/Am)

• Relative permeability:

Page 18: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Reluctance• Reluctance: “resistance” to

flow of magnetic flux

Associated with “magnetic circuit” – flux equivalent to current

• What’s equivalent of voltage?

Page 19: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Magnetomotive Force, F• Coil generates magnetic

field in ferrous torroid• Driving force F needed to

overcome torroid reluctance

• Magnetic equivalent of ohms law

Circuit Analogy

Page 21: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Magnetomotive Force• The MMF is generated by the coil• Strength related to number of turns and

current, measured in Ampere turns (At)

Page 22: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Magnetic Field Intensity

• The longer the magnetic path the greater the MMF required to drive the flux

• Magnetomotive force per unit length is known as the “magnetizing force” H

• Magnetizing force and flux density related by:

Magnetic Force On A Current – Carrying Conductor

Page 25: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Magnetic Force On A Current – Carrying Conductor

• The magnetic force (F) the conductor experiences is equal to the product of its length (L) within the field, the current I in the conductor, the external magnetic field B and the sine of the angle between the conductor and the magnetic field. In short

F= BIL (sin)

Page 26: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

The force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field:

• When a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, there is an interaction between the magnetic field produced by the current and the permanent field, which leads to a force being experienced by the conductor:

Page 27: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

• The magnitude of the force on the conductor depends on the magnitude of the current which it carries. The force is a maximum when the current flows perpendicular to the field (as shown in diagram A on the left below), and it is zero when it flows parallel to the field (as in diagram B, on the right):

Page 28: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Fleming's left hand rule shows the direction of the thrust on a conductor carrying a current in a magnetic field.

The left hand is held with the thumb, index finger and middle finger mutually at right angles.

Fleming's left hand rule (for electric motors)

The First finger represents the direction of the Field. The Second finger represents the direction of the Current (in the classical direction, from positive to negative). The Thumb represents the direction of the Thrust or resultant Motion.

Magnetic Field can produce an electric current in a closed loop, if the magnetic flux linking the surface area of the loop changes with time.

The electric Current Produced Induced Current

This mechanism is called “Electromagnetic Induction”

Faraday’s LawFaraday’s Law

Page 33: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Faraday’s LawFaraday’s Law

First Experiments

Conducting loop

Sensitive current meter

Since there is no battery or other source of emf included, there is no current in the circuit

Move a bar magnet toward the loop, a current suddenly appears in the circuit

The current disappears when the bar magnet stops

If we then move the bar magnet away, a current again suddenly appears, but now in the opposite direction

Page 34: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Faraday’s LawFaraday’s Law

Discovering of the First Experiments

1. A current appears only if there is relative motion between the loop and the magnet

3. If moving the magnet’s N-pole towards the loop causes clockwise current, then moving the N-pole away causes counterclockwise.

2. Faster motion produces a greater current

Page 35: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Constant flux, no current is induced in the loop. No current detected by Galvanometer

An Experiment - Situation ASituation A

Faraday’s LawFaraday’s Law

Constant flux though the loop

DC current I, in coil produces a constant magnetic field, in turn produces a constant flux though the loop

Current in the coil produces a

Magnetic field drops to zero

Sudden change of magnetic flux to zero causes a momentarily deflection of Galvanometer needle.

Page 38: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Conclusions from the experiment

• Current induced in the closed loop when magnetic flux changes, and direction of current depends on whether flux is increasing or decreasing

• If the loop is turned or moved closer or away from the coil, the physical movement changes the magnetic flux linking its surface, produces a current in the loop, even though B has not changed

Faraday’s LawFaraday’s Law

In Technical TermsTime-varying magnetic field produces an electromotive

force (emf) which establish a current in the closed circuit

Page 39: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

3. A combination of the two above, both flux changing and conductor moving simultaneously. A closed path may consists of a conductor, a capacitor or an imaginary line in space, etc.

Faraday’s LawFaraday’s Law

Electromotive force (emf) can be obtained through the following ways:

1. A time-varying flux linking a stationary closed path. (i.e. Transformer)

2. Relative motion between a steady flux and a close path. (i.e. D.C. Generator)

Page 40: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Faraday summarized this electromagnetic phenomenon into two laws ,which are called the Faraday’s law

Faraday’s LawFaraday’s Law

Faraday’s First LawFaraday’s First LawWhen the flux magnet linked to a circuit

changes, an electromotive force (emf) will be induced.

Page 41: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Faraday’s Second LawFaraday’s Second LawThe magnetic of emf induced is equal to

the time rate of change of the linked magnetic flux .

Faraday’s LawFaraday’s Law

Minus Sign Lenz’s Law

Indicates that the emf induced is in such a direction as to produces a current whose flux, if added to the original

flux, would reduce the magnitude of the emf

Heinrich F.E. Lenz

• Russian physicist • (1804-1865)• 1834 Lenz’s Law• There is an induced current in

a closed conducting loop if and only if the magnetic flux through the loop is changing.

• Indicates that the emf induced is in such a direction as to produces a current whose flux, if added to the original flux, would reduce the magnitude of the emf

Page 46: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

There is an induced current in a closed conducting loop if and only if the magnetic flux through the loop is changing. The direction of the induced current is such that the induced magnetic field always opposes the change in the flux.

Page 47: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Right Hand Rule

• If you wrap your fingers around the coil in the direction of the current, your thumb points north.

Page 48: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

2 Direction of induced current

In both cases, magnet moves against a force.Work is done during the motion & it is transferred as electrical energy.

Induced I always flows to oppose the movement which started it.

FALLING MAGNET• The copper tube "sees" a

changing magnetic field from the falling magnet. This changing magnetic field induces a current in the copper tube.

• The induced current in the copper tube creates its own magnetic field that opposes the magnetic field that created it.

Fleming's right hand rule shows the direction of induced current flow when a conductor moves in a magnetic field.

The right hand is held with the thumb, first finger and second finger mutually at right angles, as shown in the diagram

The Thumb represents the direction of Motion of the conductor. The First finger represents the direction of the Field. The Second finger represents the direction of the induced or generated Current (in the classical direction, from positive to negative).

Leakage Flux and Fringing

Leakage flux

Page 55: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Leakage FluxIt is found that it is impossible to confine all the flux to the iron path only. Some of the flux leaks through air surrounding the iron ring.

Leakage coefficient λ =Total flux producedUseful flux available

Page 56: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Fringing

Spreading of lines of flux at the edges of the air-gap. Reduces the flux density in the air-gap.

Page 57: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Hysteresis loss

Materials before applying m.m.f (H), the polarity of the molecules or structures are in random.

After applying m.m.f (H) , the polarity of the molecules or structures are in one direction, thus the materials become magnetized. The more H applied the more magnetic flux (B )will be produced

Page 58: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

When we plot the mmf (H) versus the magnetic flux (B) will produce a curve so called Hysteresis loop

1. OAC – when more H applied, B increased until saturated. At this point no increment of B when we increase the H.

2. CD- when we reduce the H the B also reduce but will not go to zero.

3. DE- a negative value of H has to applied in order to reduce B to zero.

4. EF – when applying more H in the negative direction will increase B in the reverse direction.

5. FGC- when reduce H will reduce B but it will not go to zero. Then by increasing positively the also decrease and certain point it again change the polarity to negative until it reach C.

Page 59: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Hysteresis Loss• Empirical equation

Summary : Hysteresis loss is proportional to f and ABH

Page 60: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Eddy current

metal insulator

When a sinusoidal current enter the coil, the flux also varies sinusoidally according to I. The induced current will flow in the magnetic core. This current is called eddy current. This current introduce the eddy current loss. The losses due to hysteresis and eddy-core totally called core loss. To reduce eddy current we use laminated core

Inductance• A changing magnetic flux induces an e.m.f. in any

conductor within it• Faraday’s law:

The magnitude of the e.m.f. induced in a circuit is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linking the circuit

• Lenz’s law:The direction of the e.m.f. is such that it tends to produce a current that opposes the change of flux responsible for inducing the e.m.f.

Page 64: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

• When a circuit forms a single loop, the e.m.f. induced is given by the rate of change of the flux

• When a circuit contains many loops the resulting e.m.f. is the sum of those produced by each loop

• Therefore, if a coil contains N loops, the induced voltage V is given by

where d/dt is the rate of change of flux in Wb/s

• This property, whereby an e.m.f. is induced as a result of changes in magnetic flux, is known as inductancet

TYPES OF INDUCED EMF• Statically induced emf

– Conductor remains stationary and flux linked with it is changed (the current which creates the flux changes i.e increases or decreases)

TYPES– Self induced– Mutually induced

Page 66: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

TYPES OF INDUCED EMF

• Dynamically induced emf– Field is stationary and conductors cut across it– Either the coil or the magnet moves.

Inductors in Series and Parallel

• When several inductors are connected together their effective inductance can be calculated in the same way as for resistors – provided that they are not linked magnetically

• Inductors in Series

• Inductors in Parallel

Page 83: Magnetism and Electromagnetism Engr. Faheemullah Shaikh.

Mutual Inductance

• When two coils are linked magnetically then a changing current in one will produce a changing magnetic field which will induce a voltage in the other – this is mutual inductance

• When a current I1 in one circuit, induces a voltage V2 in another circuit, then

where M is the mutual inductance between the circuits. The unit of mutual inductance is the Henry (as for self-inductance)

• The coupling between the coils can be increased by wrapping the two coils around a core– the fraction of the magnetic field that is coupled is

referred to as the coupling coefficient

• Coupling is particularly important in transformers– the arrangements below give a coupling

coefficient that is very close to 1
