30-1 Faraday’s Law and Lenz’s Law
First Experiment. Figure shows a conducting loop connected to
a sensitive ammeter. Because there is no battery or other
source of emf included, there is no current in the circuit.
However, if we move a bar magnet toward the loop, a current
suddenly appears in the circuit. The current disappears when
the magnet stops moving. If we then move the magnet away, a
current again suddenly appears, but now in the opposite
direction. If we experimented for a while, we would discover the
following:
1. A current appears only if there is relative motion between the loop and the magnet
(one must move relative to the other); the current disappears when the relative
motion between them ceases.
2. Faster motion of the magnet produces a greater current.
3. If moving the magnet’s north pole toward the loop causes, say, clockwise current,
then moving the north pole away causes counterclockwise current. Moving the
south pole toward or away from the loop also causes currents, but in the reversed
directions from the north pole effects.

30-1 Faraday’s Law and Lenz’s Law
Second Experiment. For this experiment we use the
apparatus shown in the figure, with the two conducting
loops close to each other but not touching. If we close
switch S to turn on a current in the right-hand loop, the
meter suddenly and briefly registers a current—an induced
current—in the left-hand loop. If the switch remains
closed, no further current is observed. If we then open the
switch, another sudden and brief induced current appears
in the left-hand loop, but in the opposite direction.
We get an induced current (from an induced emf) only when the current in the right-
hand loop is changing (either turning on or turning off) and not when it is constant
(even if it is large). The induced emf and induced current in these experiments are
apparently caused when something changes — but what is that “something”?
Faraday knew.

Induction and Faraday law
Magnetic flux
The current is actually induced by a change in the quantity
called the magnetic flux rather than simply by a change in the
magnetic field.
Magnetic flux is proportional to both the strength of the
magnetic field passing through the plane of a loop of wire and
the area of the loop.
PHY 201
PHY 305
Induction and Faraday law
You are given a loop of wire. The wire is in a uniform magnetic field . The loop
has an area A.
(θ is the angle between B and the normal to the plane)
For B = 0.40 T, A = 0.10 m2, and θ = 60°; we find:
Φ = 0.20 Wb; with 1 Wb = 1 T.m2.

30-1 Faraday’s Law and Lenz’s Law
The magnetic flux ΦB through an area A in a magnetic field B is defined as
where the integral is taken over the area. The SI unit of magnetic flux is the weber,
where 1 Wb = 1 T m2.
If B is perpendicular to the area and uniform over it, the flux is
Faraday’s Law of Induction
Faraday realized that an emf and a current can be induced in a
loop, as in our two experiments, by changing the amount of
magnetic field passing through the loop. He further realized that
the “amount of magnetic field” can be visualized in terms of the
magnetic field lines passing through the loop.
PHY 201
30-1 Faraday’s Law and Lenz’s Law
Faraday’s Law. With the notion of magnetic flux, we can state Faraday’s law in a
more quantitative and useful way:
Faraday’s Law of Induction
the induced emf tends to oppose the flux change and
the minus sign indicates this opposition. This minus
sign is referred to as Lenz’s Law.
PHY 201
30-1 Faraday’s Law and Lenz’s Law
Lenz’s Law
An induced current has a direction such that the magnetic field due to this induced
current opposes the change in the magnetic flux that induces the current. The induced
emf has the same direction as the induced current.
Lenz’s law at work. As the magnet is
moved toward the loop, a current is
induced in the loop. The current
produces its own magnetic field, with
magnetic dipole moment μ oriented so as
to oppose the motion of the magnet.
Thus, the induced current must be
counterclockwise as shown.

When applying Lenz’ Law, there are two magnetic fields
to consider:
- B: The external changing magnetic field
- B induced: The magnetic field produced by the
current in the loop.

30-1 Faraday’s Law and Lenz’s Law
Lenz’s Law
The direction of the current i induced in a loop is such that the current’s magnetic field Bind opposes the change
in the magnetic field B inducing i. The field Bind is always directed opposite an increasing field B (a, c) and in the
same direction as a decreasing field B (b, d ). The curled – straight right-hand rule gives the direction of the
induced current based on the direction of the induced field.

30-2 Induction and Energy Transfer
In the figure, a rectangular loop of wire of width L has one
end in a uniform external magnetic field that is directed
perpendicularly into the plane of the loop. This field may be
produced, for example, by a large electromagnet. The
dashed lines in the figure show the assumed limits of the
magnetic field; the fringing of the field at its edges is
neglected. You are to pull this loop to the right at a constant
velocity v.
Flux change: Therefore, in the figure a magnetic field and a conducting loop are in
relative motion at speed v and the flux of the field through the loop is changing with
time (here the flux is changing as the area of the loop still in the magnetic field is
changing).
Rate of Work: To pull the loop at a constant velocity v, you must apply a constant
force F to the loop because a magnetic force of equal magnitude but opposite
direction acts on the loop to oppose you. The rate at which you do work — that is,
the power — is then
where F is the magnitude of the force you apply to the loop.
PHY 201
30-2 Induction and Energy Transfer
Induced emf: To find the current, we first apply Faraday’s
law. When x is the length of the loop still in the magnetic
field, the area of the loop still in the field is Lx. Then, the
magnitude of the flux through the loop is
As x decreases, the flux decreases. Faraday’s law tells us that
with this flux i decrease, an emf is induced in the loop. We
can write the magnitude of this emf as
in which we have replaced dx/dt with v, the speed at which the loop
moves.

30-2 Induction and Energy Transfer
Induced Current: Figure (bottom) shows the loop as a
circuit: induced emf is represented on the left, and the
collective resistance R of the loop is represented on the
right. To find the magnitude of the induced current, we can
apply the equation
which gives
In the Fig. (top), the deflecting forces acting on the three
segments of the loop are marked F1, F2, and F3. Note,
however, that from the symmetry, forces F2 and F3 are equal
in magnitude and cancel. This leaves only force F1, which is
directed opposite your force F on the loop and thus is the
force opposing you.

So, F = -F1. the magnitude of F1 thus
where the angle between B and the length vector L for the
left segment is 90°. This gives us
Because B, L, and R are constants, the speed v at which you move the
loop is constant if the magnitude F of the force you apply to the loop
is also constant.
Rate of Work: We find the rate at which you do work on the loop as
you pull it from the magnetic field:
NOTE: The work that you do in pulling the loop through the
magnetic field appears as thermal energy in the loop.

Inductors and Inductance

The crude inductors with which
Michael Faraday discovered the law
of induction. In those days
amenities such as insulated wire
were not commercially available. It
is said that Faraday insulated his
wires by wrapping them with strips
cut from one of his wife’s petticoats.
An inductor is a device that can be used to produce a
known magnetic field in a specified region. If a
current i is established through each of the N
windings of an inductor, a magnetic flux ΦB links
those windings. The inductance L of the inductor is
The SI unit of inductance is the henry (H), where 1
henry = 1H=1Tm2/A.

long solenoid of cross-sectional area A and n turns
per unit length is

Self-Induction
30-5 Self-Induction
If two coils — which we can now call inductors — are near
each other, a current i in one coil produces a magnetic flux
ΦB through the second coil. We have seen that if we
change this flux by changing the current, an induced emf
appears in the second coil according to Faraday’s law. An
induced emf appears in the first coil as well. This process
(see Figure) is called self-induction, and the emf that
appears is called a
self-induced emf. It obeys Faraday’s law of induction just as other induced emfs do.
For any inductor,
Faraday’s law tells us that
By combining these equations, we can write
Note: Thus, in any inductor (such as a
coil, a solenoid, or a toroid) a self-
induced emf appears whenever the
current changes with time. The
magnitude of the current has no
influence on the magnitude of the
induced emf; only the rate of change
of the current counts.

The total energy U present at any instant in an oscillating LC circuit is given by
in which UB is the energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor and UE is the
energy stored in the electric field of the capacitor. Since we have assumed the circuit
resistance to be zero, no energy is transferred to thermal energy and U remains constant
with time. In more formal language, dU/dt must be zero. This leads to
However, i = dq/dt and di/dt = d2q/dt2. With these substitutions, we get

oscillates back and forth
through the resistance,
electromagnetic energy is
dissipated as thermal energy,
damping (decreasing the
amplitude of) the oscillations.
To analyze the oscillations of this circuit, we write an equation
for the total electromagnetic energy U in the circuit at any
instant. Because the resistance does not store electromagnetic
energy, we can write
Now, however, this total energy decreases as energy is
transferred to thermal energy. The rate of that transfer is,

differentiating U with respect to time and then substituting

Gauss’ law for magnetic fields is a formal way of saying
that magnetic monopoles do not exist. The law asserts
that the net magnetic flux ΦB through any closed
