Inductance Inductance Inductance Important fact: Magnetic Flux ΦB is proportional to the current making the ΦB All our equations for B-fields show that B α I v v v v µ0 I dl × rˆ dB = ∫ B ⋅dl = µ0Ithru 4π r2 Biot-Savart Ampere Inductance Flux Φ B ∝ B ∝ I Flux Φ ∝ I Assumes leaving everything else B the same. If we double the current I, we will double the magnetic flux through any surface. i 1 Self-inductance Self-Inductance (L) of a coil of wire ΦB ≡ LI Φ This equation defines self-inductance. L B ≡ Note that since ΦB α I, L must be I independent of the current I. L has units [L] = [Tesla meter2]/[Amperes] New unit for inductance = [Henry]. Inductors (coil of wire) An inductor is just a coil of wire. The Magnetic Flux created by the coil, through the coil itself: v v Φ B = ∫ B ⋅dA This is quite hard to calculate for a single loop. Earlier we calculated B at the center, but it varies over the area. 2 Inductors Consider a simpler case of a solenoid v N | B |= µ nI = µ I inside 0 0 L Recall that the B-field inside a solenoid is uniform! N = number of loops L = length of solenoid * Be careful with symbol L ! Inductors v N | B |= µ nI = µ I inside 0 0 L v v Φ B = N ∫ B ⋅ dA = NBA = N(µ0nI)A Φ L = B = µ NnA = µ An2L I 0 0 Self-Inductance Length 3 Clicker Question Inductor 1 consists of a single loop of wire. Inductor 2 is identical to 1 except it has two loops on top of each other. How do the self-inductances of the two loops compare? A) L2 = 2 L1 B) L2 > 2L1 C) L2 < 2L1 I Coil 1 Coil 2 I Answer: L2 > 2L1 , in fact L2 = 4 L1. The self inductance L increases by 4. L =Φ/i. If we keep i fixed, but double the number N of turns, Φ increases by 4. Total flux. N doubles, but Φ1 =BA also doubles because when we double the number of turns, then B is doubled. Clicker Question Two long solenoids, each of inductance L, are connected together to form a single very long solenoid of inductance Ltotal. What is Ltotal? A) 2L + = B) 4L C) 8L D) none of these/don't know L L Ltotal = ? Answer: 2L. The inductance of a solenoid is L = µon2A l, where n is the number of turns per length n = N/l and l is the length. In this case, we did not change n, but l (length) doubled, so L doubles. 4 Self-induced EMF What does this inductance tell us? Φ L = B I Φ B = LI L is independent of time. dΦB dI = L Depends only on geometry of inductor dt dt (like capacitance). Self-induced EMF dΦB dI dΦ B = L Recall Faraday’s Law ε = − dt dt dt dI − ε = L dt Changing the current in an inductor creates dI an EMF which opposes the change in the ε = −L current. dt Sometimes called “back EMF” 5 Self-induced EMF dI ε = −L dt It is difficult (requires big external Voltage) to change quickly the current in an inductor. The current in an inductor cannot change instantly. If it did (or tried to), there would be an infinite back EMF. This infinite back EMF would be fighting the change! Magnetic Field energy Recall that for a capacitor C, there is stored potential energy in the electric field. 1 U = CV 2 2 The energy is stored in the electric field and the density is: U 1 v u = = ε | E |2 E Volume 2 0 6 Magnetic Field energy The power supplied to an inductor is di P = Vi = Li dt The energy dU supplied to an inductor in an interval dt is: dU = Pdt = Lidi The total energy U supplied while the current increases from 0 to a final value is I 1 U = ∫ Lidi = LI 2 0 2 Magnetic energy density For an inductor L, with current I, there is stored energy in the magnetic field. 1 U = LI 2 2 For a coil this is 1 µ N 2 A U = 0 I 2 2 2πr The energy density is U U 1 N 2 I 2 u = = = µ B Volume 2πrA 2 0 (2πr)2 µ NI But we know that B = 0 2πr B2 → uB = 2µ0 7 Clicker Question The same current i is flowing through solenoid 1 and solenoid 2. Solenoid 2 is twice as long and has twice as many turns as solenoid 1, and has twice the diameter. (Hint) for a solenoid B = µo n i ) What is the ratio of the magnetic energy contained in U solenoid 2 to that in solenoid 1, that is, what is 2 U1 A)2 B) 4 I C) 8 D) 16 1 2 I E) None of these. Answer: There is 8 times as much magnetic field energy in the large solenoid as in the small solenoid. The B-field is the same in both solenoids (same n = turns/length so same B =µo n I) so both solenoids contain the same energy per volume u = U/vol = B2/(2µo). The larger solenoid has 8 times the volume (2X the length, 4X the cross-sectional area) so it has 8 the energy. Magnetic Field energy It takes work to get current flowing through an inductor. You must work against the back EMF which opposes any change in the current. That work = potential energy stored = U = ½ LI2 And is thus stored in the inductor’s magnetic field. 8 Inductors as circuit elements What do these inductors do in circuits? Just recall that the EMF or Voltage across an inductor is: dI ε = −L dt So, when we add them to circuits, we can apply the usual Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law and include the inductors. Inductors in a circuit Consider a circuit with a battery, resistor and inductor (RL circuit) switch R a b L Battery=V Switch is in position (a) for a long time. In steady state (after a long time), the current will no longer be changing and thus the inductor looks like a regular wire! 9 RL circuit switch R a b L Battery=V If after a long time the inductor acts like a wire: V ∆V = V − IR = 0 I = R RL circuit switch R a b L Battery=V At t=0, move the switch to (b). Normally one might expect there to immediately be zero current. However, the inductor has stored energy! 10 LR circuit switch R a b L Battery=V dI ∆V = −IR − L = 0 dt di ⎛ R ⎞ = −⎜ ⎟i We need to solve this differential dt ⎝ L ⎠ equation for i(t). RL circuit dI ⎛ R ⎞ = −⎜ ⎟I dt ⎝ L ⎠ ⎛ R ⎞ −⎜ ⎟t V ⎝ L ⎠ I(t) I e where I0 = = 0 R ⎛ L ⎞ −t /⎜ ⎟ ⎝ R ⎠ Current exponentially decays with I(t) = I0e Time Constant =τ= L/R (units of seconds). 11 Clicker Question Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the time constants in the three circuits. τ τ τ A. 1 > 2 > 3 τ τ τ B. 2 > 1 > 3 τ τ τ C. 2 > 3 > 1 τ τ τ D. 3 > 1 > 2 τ τ τ E. 3 > 2 > 1 ⎛ L ⎞ −t /⎜ ⎟ ⎝ R ⎠ i(t) = i0e Clicker Question The switch in the circuit below is closed at t=0. R = 20Ω What is the initial rate of change of current di/dt in the inductor, V = 10V L = 10H immediately after the switch is closed ? (Hint) what is the initial voltage across the inductor?) A) 0 A/s B) 0.5A/s C)1A/s D) 10A/s E) None of these. Answer: 1A/s. By the Loop Law, V(battery voltage) = iR + Ldi/dt. Immediately after the switch is closed , the current is zero (because the current thru the inductor cannot change instantly), so iR is zero, so V = L di/dt. So di/dt = V/L = 10V/10H = 1 A/s. 12 Clicker Question An LR circuit is shown below. Initially the switch is open. At time t=0, the switch is closed. What is the current thru the inductor L immediately after the switch is closed (time = 0+)? R1 = 10Ω A) Zero V = 10V L = 10H R2 = 10Ω B) 1 A C) 0.5A D) None of these. Clicker Question An LR circuit is shown below. Initially the switch is open. At time t=0, the switch is closed.

  • Quantum Mechanics Electromotive Force
    Quantum Mechanics_Electromotive force . Electromotive force, also called emf[1] (denoted and measured in volts), is the voltage developed by any source of electrical energy such as a batteryor dynamo.[2] The word "force" in this case is not used to mean mechanical force, measured in newtons, but a potential, or energy per unit of charge, measured involts. In electromagnetic induction, emf can be defined around a closed loop as the electromagnetic workthat would be transferred to a unit of charge if it travels once around that loop.[3] (While the charge travels around the loop, it can simultaneously lose the energy via resistance into thermal energy.) For a time-varying magnetic flux impinging a loop, theElectric potential scalar field is not defined due to circulating electric vector field, but nevertheless an emf does work that can be measured as a virtual electric potential around that loop.[4] In a two-terminal device (such as an electrochemical cell or electromagnetic generator), the emf can be measured as the open-circuit potential difference across the two terminals. The potential difference thus created drives current flow if an external circuit is attached to the source of emf. When current flows, however, the potential difference across the terminals is no longer equal to the emf, but will be smaller because of the voltage drop within the device due to its internal resistance. Devices that can provide emf includeelectrochemical cells, thermoelectric devices, solar cells and photodiodes, electrical generators,transformers, and even Van de Graaff generators.[4][5] In nature, emf is generated whenever magnetic field fluctuations occur through a surface.

  • Measuring Electricity Voltage Current Voltage Current
    Measuring Electricity Electricity makes our lives easier, but it can seem like a mysterious force. Measuring electricity is confusing because we cannot see it. We are familiar with terms such as watt, volt, and amp, but we do not have a clear understanding of these terms. We buy a 60-watt lightbulb, a tool that needs 120 volts, or a vacuum cleaner that uses 8.8 amps, and dont think about what those units mean. Using the flow of water as an analogy can make Voltage electricity easier to understand. The flow of electrons in a circuit is similar to water flowing through a hose. If you could look into a hose at a given point, you would see a certain amount of water passing that point each second. The amount of water depends on how much pressure is being applied how hard the water is being pushed. It also depends on the diameter of the hose. The harder the pressure and the larger the diameter of the hose, the more water passes each second. The flow of electrons through a wire depends on the electrical pressure pushing the electrons and on the Current cross-sectional area of the wire. The flow of electrons can be compared to the flow of Voltage water. The water current is the number of molecules flowing past a fixed point; electrical current is the The pressure that pushes electrons in a circuit is number of electrons flowing past a fixed point. called voltage. Using the water analogy, if a tank of Electrical current (I) is defined as electrons flowing water were suspended one meter above the ground between two points having a difference in voltage.

  • Calculating Electric Power
    Calculating electric power We've seen the formula for determining the power in an electric circuit: by multiplying the voltage in "volts" by the current in "amps" we arrive at an answer in "watts." Let's apply this to a circuit example: In the above circuit, we know we have a battery voltage of 18 volts and a lamp resistance of 3 Ω. Using Ohm's Law to determine current, we get: Now that we know the current, we can take that value and multiply it by the voltage to determine power: Answer: the lamp is dissipating (releasing) 108 watts of power, most likely in the form of both light and heat. Let's try taking that same circuit and increasing the battery voltage to see what happens. Intuition should tell us that the circuit current will increase as the voltage increases and the lamp resistance stays the same. Likewise, the power will increase as well: Now, the battery voltage is 36 volts instead of 18 volts. The lamp is still providing 3 Ω of electrical resistance to the flow of electrons. The current is now: This stands to reason: if I = E/R, and we double E while R stays the same, the current should double. Indeed, it has: we now have 12 amps of current instead of 6. Now, what about power? Notice that the power has increased just as we might have suspected, but it increased quite a bit more than the current. Why is this? Because power is a function of voltage multiplied by current, and both voltage and current doubled from their previous values, the power will increase by a factor of 2 x 2, or 4.

  • On the First Electromagnetic Measurement of the Velocity of Light by Wilhelm Weber and Rudolf Kohlrausch
    Andre Koch Torres Assis On the First Electromagnetic Measurement of the Velocity of Light by Wilhelm Weber and Rudolf Kohlrausch Abstract The electrostatic, electrodynamic and electromagnetic systems of units utilized during last century by Ampère, Gauss, Weber, Maxwell and all the others are analyzed. It is shown how the constant c was introduced in physics by Weber's force of 1846. It is shown that it has the unit of velocity and is the ratio of the electromagnetic and electrostatic units of charge. Weber and Kohlrausch's experiment of 1855 to determine c is quoted, emphasizing that they were the first to measure this quantity and obtained the same value as that of light velocity in vacuum. It is shown how Kirchhoff in 1857 and Weber (1857-64) independently of one another obtained the fact that an electromagnetic signal propagates at light velocity along a thin wire of negligible resistivity. They obtained the telegraphy equation utilizing Weber’s action at a distance force. This was accomplished before the development of Maxwell’s electromagnetic theory of light and before Heaviside’s work. 1. Introduction In this work the introduction of the constant c in electromagnetism by Wilhelm Weber in 1846 is analyzed. It is the ratio of electromagnetic and electrostatic units of charge, one of the most fundamental constants of nature. The meaning of this constant is discussed, the first measurement performed by Weber and Kohlrausch in 1855, and the derivation of the telegraphy equation by Kirchhoff and Weber in 1857. Initially the basic systems of units utilized during last century for describing electromagnetic quantities is presented, along with a short review of Weber’s electrodynamics.

  • Electromotive Force
    Voltage - Electromotive Force Electrical current flow is the movement of electrons through conductors. But why would the electrons want to move? Electrons move because they get pushed by some external force. There are several energy sources that can force electrons to move. Chemical: Battery Magnetic: Generator Light (Photons): Solar Cell Mechanical: Phonograph pickup, crystal microphone, antiknock sensor Heat: Thermocouple Voltage is the amount of push or pressure that is being applied to the electrons. It is analogous to water pressure. With higher water pressure, more water is forced through a pipe in a given time. With higher voltage, more electrons are pushed through a wire in a given time. If a hose is connected between two faucets with the same pressure, no water flows. For water to flow through the hose, it is necessary to have a difference in water pressure (measured in psi) between the two ends. In the same way, For electrical current to flow in a wire, it is necessary to have a difference in electrical potential (measured in volts) between the two ends of the wire. A battery is an energy source that provides an electrical difference of potential that is capable of forcing electrons through an electrical circuit. We can measure the potential between its two terminals with a voltmeter.

  • Magnetism Known to the Early Chinese in 12Th Century, and In
    Magnetism Known to the early Chinese in 12th century, and in some detail by ancient Greeks who observed that certain stones “lodestones” attracted pieces of iron. Lodestones were found in the coastal area of “Magnesia” in Thessaly at the beginning of the modern era. The name of magnetism derives from magnesia. William Gilbert, physician to Elizabeth 1, made magnets by rubbing Fe against lodestones and was first to recognize the Earth was a large magnet and that lodestones always pointed north-south. Hence the use of magnetic compasses. Book “De Magnete” 1600. The English word "electricity" was first used in 1646 by Sir Thomas Browne, derived from Gilbert's 1600 New Latin electricus, meaning "like amber". Gilbert demonstrates a “lodestone” compass to ER 1.
