Explains motional EMF, where a conducting rod moving through a magnetic field experiences a force on its electrons, creating an EMF. The EMF is calculated using the formula Epsilon = BvL, where B is the magnetic field strength, v is the velocity, and L is the length of the conductor. Also covers scenarios with multiple wires.
Discusses a conductor moving along two wire rails connected to a resistor, leading to current and power consumption. Formulas for current (I = BvL/R) and force (F = B²vL²/R) are derived. Power calculations are discussed, and the importance of constant force and velocity for constant power.
Defines magnetic flux as the strength of a magnetic field through a loop of wire, given by Φ = BAcosθ, where B is magnetic field strength, A is the area of the loop, and θ is the angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the loop. Explains how changing the angle affects the flux.
Explains flux linkage, where adding loops increases the flux proportionally, leading to the formula Φ = NBAcosθ, where N is the number of loops. Discusses how moving a magnet relative to a loop induces a current due to the change in flux.
Introduces Faraday's law, where the induced EMF is given by Epsilon = -N(dΦ/dt), highlighting that a change in magnetic flux induces an EMF and current. Factors that increase EMF and current are discussed.
Explains Lenz's law, stating that the induced current and corresponding magnetic field in a loop oppose the change in flux through the loop. Discusses how a magnet moving towards or away from a loop induces a current to counteract the change in magnetic field, and its relationship to Newton's third law.
