  Electromagnetic Induction and AC Current   20 Nickels awarded!
Tagged with:       [Post New]posted on 16 Sep 2007 14:55:33 IST    
electromagnetic Induction:
 
The Production of Electromotive force in a conductor when
there is a change in the magnetic flux linkage with coil or
when there is a relative motion of the conductor across a
magnetic field.
 
 
Magnetic Flux:
 
Magnetic Flux through an area dS in a magnetic Field B is
 
 
 =  B.dS

 
Faraday's Law:
 
When the Flux of a magnetic field through a loop changes,
an emf is induced in the loop which is given by :
 
 = -d/dt
 
Where 
 
 =  B.dS is the Flux through the loop.
 
The EmF lasts as long as the magnetic Field changes.
 

 
Lenz's Law:
 
It states that the polarity of the induced Emf and the
direction of the induced current is such tat it opposes the

 
change that has induced it.
 

 
Motional Emf:
 
When a conducting rod of length L moves with a velocity V
in a magnetic field B such that B,V & L are mutually per-
-pendicular to each other then the induced Emf is :
 
 = BLV
 
This is called as motional Emf.If the circuit is completed
the direction of the current can be worked out by Lenz's
Law.
 

 
Induced Electric Field:
 
A time varying Magnetic field induces an electric field.If
a conductor is placed in this field , an induced Emf is
produced :
 
 =  E.dL (Here  is Cyclic Integral)
 
 
 = - d/dt
 
 E.dL = - d/dt (Cyclic Integral)
 
 
 
Self Induction:
 
A Current Carying loop produces a magentic Flux Through
the area.
 
 = Li Where L is the Self Inductance.
 
If Current Changes in the loop the Induced Emf is given
by:
 
 = - d/dt = -L di/dt
 
For a Solenoid of n turns,
 
 = -n d/dt  B.dS
 
Self Inductance of a long solenoid is:
 
L = r0n2LA
 
Where
 
r is the relative magnetic permeability of the core , n is
no. of turns per unit length , L is the length of  solenoid.
 
and A is the cross-sectional area of the solenoid.
 

 
Mutual Inductance:
 
A changing current in one circuit causes a changing Flux &
hence an induced Emf in a neighbouring circuit.
 
N22 = Mi1
 
Where M is the Mutual Inductance of coils 1  2
 
M = N22/i1 = N11/i2
 
1 = -M di1/dt
 
2 = -M di2/dt
 
Alternating Current and Voltage:
 
Current and Voltage varying Sinusoidally are called as AC
and AV (Alternating Current and Voltage)
 
V = V0Sint
 
i = i0Sint
 

 
Mean Values of Voltage and Current:
 
(a)In one complete cycle:
 
V = 0 , i = 0
 
(b)In Half Cycle:
 
V = 2V0/ , i = 2i0/
 
(c)Root mean square Values:
 
Vrms = V0/2
 
irms = i0/2
 
Where V0 and i0 are peak Voltage and current.
 

 
AC Circuit with a Resistor:
 
E = E0Sint = E0Sint/R
 

AC Circuit with a capacitor:
 
V = E0Sint
 
i = E0/(1/C) [ Sin(t+/2) ]
 
Xc = 1/C is capacitive Reactance.
 
i = i0Sin(t + /2)
 
 
AC Circuit with an inductor:
 
V = E0Sint
 
i = i0Sin(t - /2)  {Voltage Leading}
 
XL = L Inductive Reactance.
 
 
LCR Circuit (Inductor,capacitor,Resistor Circuit in series):
 
Impedance , Z =  (L - 1/C)2 + R2
 
The above Expressino can be very well be given as:
 
Z = (XL-XC)2 + R2
 
For Phase angle  ,
 
Tan = XL-XC/R
 
 
Resonance:
 
 
L = 1/C
 
The Impedance of the circuit is equal to R only.
 
0 = 1/LC
 
f0 = 1/2LC  (Resonance Frequency)
 
 
Power:
 
Average Power ,
 
Pavg = Erms.Irms.Cos 
 
Pavg = 1/2*E0I0Cos
 
Where Cos is the power factor.
 
Cos = R/Z
 
 
Choke Coil:
 
A Coil with low resistance and high inductance used to reduce current in AC Circuit without much heat loss is
called as a Choke Coil.
 
Power factor , Cos = R / (L - 1/C)2 + R2
 
R is Low and L is High thus is Reducing current.
 
Hope you all find it useful.
 
I have typed this whole thing the third time as before this two times I by mistake pressed (ctrl+w) , Press it
and you will find it out what happens.
 
plZ rate me if useful.
 
Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!@@@@@@!!!!!!!!!!!
