Inductance

9.1 Inductance

An inductor stores energy in the magnetic field just as a capacitor stores energy in the electric field. We have shown earlier that a changing B-field will lead to an induced emf in a circuit. Question : If a circuit generates a changing magnetic field, does it lead to an induced emf in the same circuit? YES! Self-Inductance The inductance L of any current element is di = V = L The negative sign EL L dt comes from Lenz Law.

Recall Faraday’s Law, d d = N B = (N ) EL dt dt B

where B is magnetic flux, NB is flux linkage. Alternative definition of Inductance:

d di N (N )= L L = B dt B dt ⇥ i

Inductance is also flux linkage per unit current.

Tuesday, April 6, 21 4 Compute the self-inductance of a solenoid with N turns, length l , and radius R with a current I flowing through each turn, as shown in Figure 11.2.2.

Figure 11.2.2 Solenoid

Solution: Ignoring edge effects and applying Ampere’s law, the inside a solenoid is given by Eq. (9.4.3) ! NI µ0 ˆ ˆ B = k = µ0nI k , (11.2.4) l

where n = N / l is the number of turns per unit length. The through each turn is ! = BA = µ nI "(# R2 ) = µ nI# R2 . (11.2.5) B 0 0

Thus, the self-inductance is N! L = B = µ n2" R2l . (11.2.6) I 0

11.14 Conceptual Questions

1. How would you shape a wire of fixed length to obtain the greatest and the smallest inductance?

2. If the wire of a tightly wound solenoid is unwound and made into another tightly wound solenoid with a diameter 3 times that of the original one, by what factor does the inductance change?

3. What analogies can you draw between an ideal solenoid and a parallel-plate capacitor?

4. In the RL circuit show in Figure 11.14.1, can the self-induced emf ever be greater 9. 2 LR Circuits than the emf supplied by the battery?

Suppose two coils are placed near each other, as shown in Figure 11.1.1 mutual inductance depends on interaction of two circuits

Consider two closely wound coils of wire shown in cross-sectional view

Current I 1 in coil 1 which has N 1 turns creates a magnetic field

Some magnetic field lines pass through coil 2 which has N 2 turns

The magnetic flux caused by the currentFigure in coil11.1.1 1 Changingand passing current through in coil 1coil produces 2 is changing12 magnetic flux in coil 2.

We define the mutual inductance ofThe coil first 2 withcoil has respect N turns to andcoil carries 1 a current I which gives rise to a magnetic field ! 1 1 B . The second coil has N turns. Because the two coils are close to each other, some of 1 N212 2 the magnetic field lines through coil 1 will also pass through coil 2. Let ! denote the M12 12 ma⌘gnetic fluxI1 through one turn of coil 2 due to I . Now, by varying I with time, there Tuesday, April 6, 21 1 14 1 will be an induced emf associated with the changing magnetic flux in the second coil:

d# d ! ! ! = "N 12 = " B $ dA . (11.1.1) 12 2 dt dt %% 1 2 coil 2

The time rate of change of magnetic flux ! in coil 2 is proportional to the time rate of 12 change of the current in coil 1:

d!12 dI1 N2 = M12 , (11.1.2) dt dt

where the proportionality constant M is called the mutual inductance. It can also be 12 written as N ! M = 2 12 . (11.1.3) 12 I 1

11-3

The SI unit for inductance is the henry [H]:

2 1 henry = 1 H = 1 T!m /A . (11.1.4)

We shall see that the mutual inductance M depends only on the geometrical properties 12 of the two coils such as the number of turns and the radii of the two coils. If current I 1 varies with time In a similar manner, suppose instead there is a current I in the second coil and it is we see from Faraday’s law that emf induced by coil 1 in coil 2 is 2 varying with time (Figure 11.1.2). Then the induced emf in coil 1 becomes

d# d ! ! ! = "N 21 = " B $ dA , (11.1.5) d12 d M12I1 21 1 dt dI1dt %% 2 1 2 = N2 = N2 = M12 coil 1 E dt dt N2 dt and a current✓ is induced in◆ coil 1. If current I 2 varies with time ☛ emf induced by coil 2 in coil 1 is

dI = M 2 E1 21 dt

In mutual induction emf induced in one coil is always proportional toFigure rate at11.1.2 which Changing current current in inother coil 2 coilproduces is changing changing magnetic flux in coil 1.

This changing flux in coil 1 is proportional to the changing current in coil 2, It is easily seen that M12 = M21 = M Tuesday, April 6, 21 15 d!21 dI2 N1 = M21 , (11.1.6) dt dt

where the proportionality constant M is another mutual inductance and can be written 21 as N ! M = 1 21 . (11.1.7) 21 I 2

The mutual inductance reciprocity theorem states that the constants are equal

M = M ! M . (11.1.8) 12 21

As an example, suppose the initial condition is Q(t = 0) = Q . The phase constant is then Underdamped oscillator always oscillates 0 ! = 0 , and at a lower frequency than natural frequency of oscillator Tuesday, April 6, 21 24 Q(t) = Q e!" t cos(# 't) . (11.10.5) 0 The corresponding current is

For small R , the above expression may be approximated as

Q I(t) ! 0 e"# t sin($ 't +%) (11.10.7) LC where % # ( ! = tan"1 . (11.10.8) ' '* & $ )

The derivation is left to the readers as an exercise.

Case 2: Overdamping

In the overdamped case, ! < " , implying that ' is imaginary. There is no oscillation in 0 ! this case. By writing ! ' = i" , where ! = " 2 #$ 2 , one may show that the most general 0 solution can be written as Q(t) = Q e!(" +# )t + Q e!(" !# )t , (11.10.9) 1 2 where the constantsCase Q II:and Overdamping Q can be ! determined0 < from the initial conditions. 1 2

Case 3: Critical damping Tuesday, April 6, 21 25 When the system is critically damped, ! = " , ' 0 . Again there is no oscillation. The 0 ! = general solution is Q(t) = (Q + Q t)e!" t , (11.10.10) 1 2 where Q and Q are constants which can be determined from the initial conditions. In 1 2 this case one may show that the energy of the system decays most rapidly with time. The qualitative behavior of Q(t) in overdamping and critical damping is depicted in Figure 11.10.2.

11.10.1 Quality Factor

When the resistance is small, the system is underdamped, and the charge oscillates with decaying amplitude Q e!" t . The “quality” of this underdamped oscillation is measured by 0 the so-called “quality factor,” Q (not to be confused with charge.) The larger the value qual of Q , the less the damping and the higher the quality. Mathematically, Q is defined qual qual as
