The current in a coil of self-inductance L = 2H is increasing according to the law i = 2 sin t2.
Find the amount of energy spent during the period when the current changes from 0 to 2 ampere.
(a) State Lenz’s law. Give one example to illustrate this law. “The Lenz’s law is a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy.” Justify this statement.
(b) Deduce an expression for the mutual inductance of two long coaxial solenoids but having different radii and different number of turns.
Whenever the magnetic flux linked with a closed circuit changes, an emf is set up across it which lasts only as long as the change in flux is taking place. This emf is called induced emf.
According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the magnitude of induced emf is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux linked with the closed circuit (or coil).
Mathematically,
where,
N is the number of turns in the circuit and,
ΦB is the magnetic flux linked with each turn.
Suppose the conducting rod completes one revolution in time T.
Then,
Change in flux = B x Area swept
= B x l2
Therefore,
But,
Consider coil PQRS with its arm PQ movable as shown in the figure. A magnetic field is applied normal to the surface of the coil. The area of the coil, ΔS = l x x
Φ = 8 Δ S = Blx
The rate of change of magnetic flux linked with the coil is given by
If e is the induced emf produced, then
Let R be the resistance of movable arm PQ of the rectangular conductor. Taking the resistance of other arms as negligibly small, the current in the loop is given by,
I = ...(I)
The arm PQ moves with the speed v. The power required to move it is given by,
(From I)
