23.2 Faraday's Law of Induction: Lenz's Law

23.2 Faraday's Law of Induction: Lenz's Law

  • The magnetic field and the area over which it exists are related to magnetic flux.
    • The emf is related to the flux.
  • The examples given so far are the result of a change in magnetic flux.
    • The angle is changed when the generator is rotating.
    • The change in and how quickly the change is made affect how great an emf is.
  • The emf depends on a few factors, according to Faraday's experiments.
    • The emf is proportional to the change.
  • If a coil has turns, an emf will be produced that is times greater than for a single coil.
  • The units for emf are the same as always.
  • The minus sign is very important.
    • The minus means that the emf creates a current I and magnetic field B that is opposed to the change in flux.
    • Faraday was aware of the direction, but he was not credited for discovering it.
  • There is a field in the opposite direction of the bar magnet's created by the current in the coil.
    • Induction is one aspect of the law.
    • The current direction shown is consistent with RHR-2 and the direction shown is opposed to the change in flux.
  • A sketch of the situation can be used to record directions.
  • Determine the direction of the magnetic field.
  • Determine if the flux is increasing or decreasing.
  • Determine the direction of the magnetic field.
    • Adding or subtracting from the original field is opposed to the change in flux.
  • RHR-2 can be used to determine the direction of the current that is responsible for the magnetic field B.
  • The direction of the emf will now drive a current in this direction and can be represented as current emerging from the positive terminal of the emf and returning to its negative terminal.
  • In this chapter, we will look at some of the applications of the law.
    • There are several things that have to do with data storage and magnetic fields.
    • There is an important application for audio and video recording tapes.
    • A plastic tape moves past a recording head.
    • A coil of wire is wrapped around a ring of iron in the recording head.
    • A varying input current from a microphone or camera goes to the recording head.
    • The signals that produce the magnetic fields at the recording head are a function of the signal amplitude and Frequency.
    • The magnetic field orientations of the iron oxide molecule on the tape are changed as the tape moves past the recording head.
    • The structure of the recording head is similar to that of the magnetized tape.
    • The different magnetic field orientations of the iron oxide molecule on the tape cause an emf in the coil of wire.
    • A loudspeaker or video player will receive this signal.
  • Magnetic tapes are used to record and play back audio and video.
    • There are recordings on a spinning disk.
  • The heads were made to work on the principle of induction.
    • A series of 0's or 1's are written on the spinning hard drive as the input information is carried in digital rather than analog form.
    • Most hard drive readout devices don't work on the principle of induction, but use a technique known as giant magnetoresistance.
    • The magnetic stripe on the back of your credit card can be used at the grocery store or the ATM machine.
    • This works the same way as the audio or video tape mentioned in the last paragraph in which a head reads personal information from your card.
  • When electrical signals need to be transmitted across a barrier, it's an application of Electromagnetic Insturment.
    • Consider the implant.
    • Sound is picked up by a microphone on the outside of the skull and used to create a magnetic field.
    • A current is transmitted from the bone beneath the skin to the inner ear through a receiver.
    • There are instances where electric signals need to be conveyed across various media.
  • The electric current is transmitted across the medium.
    • The device on the baby's head causes an electrical current to travel through the bone beneath the skin.
  • Transcranial magnetic simulation is a contemporary area of research that is being successfully implemented.
    • Depression and hallucinations can be traced to irregular electrical activity in the brain.
    • In transcranial magnetic stimulation, a magnetic field is placed close to certain areas of the brain.
    • Weak electric currents can result in the recovery of electrical functioning in the brain tissue.
  • It may be a cause of sudden infant deaths if you have sleep apnea.
    • Breath can stop frequently during sleep.
    • It is very dangerous to stop for more than 20 seconds.
    • It is possible for a person with sleep apnea to have strokes, heart failure, and tiredness.
    • The stopping of breath is a concern for infants.
    • One type of monitor is used to alert parents when a child is not breathing.
    • An alternating current runs through a wire wrapped around an infant's chest.
    • The expansion and contraction of the infant's chest changes the area through the coil.
    • A pickup coil located nearby has an alternating current that is caused by the changing magnetic field of the initial wire.
    • A parent can be notified if the child stops breathing.
  • The law is related to the use of energy.
    • A change in energy means a change in emf.
    • There is energy that can enter or leave.
    • It is a consequence of Lenz's law.
    • The law says that as the change begins, it slows the change.
  • Since it was changed from 0.0500 to 0.250 T, the area of the loop is.
  • This is not large enough for most practical applications.
    • There are more loops in the coil, a stronger magnet, and faster movement that make it a practical source of voltages.
  • Use a bar magnet and coils to learn about the law.
    • You can make a light bulb glow by moving a bar magnet.
  • The direction and magnitude of the current is shown by a meter.
    • To see the direction and magnitude of the current, use a meter or view the magnetic field lines.
