Current induced in a coil.
When B is constant and shape, location, and
orientation of coil does not change, the
induced current is zero.
Conducting loop in increasing B field.
Magnetic flux through an area.
Lenz’s law
Lenz’s Law: The induced emf or current always tends to oppose or cancel the change that caused it.

A changing magnetic flux causes (induces) an emf in a conducting

Magnetic force (F = IL x B) due to the induced current is toward the left, opposite to v.
Lenz’s law
Lenz’s Law: The induced emf or current always tends to oppose or cancel the change that caused it.
Currents (I) induced in a wire loop.
Motional induced emf ():
= v B L
because the potential difference between a and b is
= V = energy / charge = W/q
= V = work / charge V = F x distance / q
V = (q v B) L / qso
= v B L
Length and velocity are perpendicular to B
Solenoid with increasing current I which induces an emf in the (yellow) wire. An induced current I’ is
moved through the (yellow) wire by an induced electric field E in the wire.
Eddy currents formed by induced emf in a rotating metal disk.
Metal detector – an alternating magnetic field Bo induces eddy currents in a conducting object moved
through the detector. The eddy currents in turn produce an alternating magnetic field B’ and this field induces a current in the detector’s receiver
coil.
A capacitor being charged by a current ic has a displacement current equal to iC between the
plates, with displacement current iD = A dE/dt. This changing E field can be regarded as the source
of the magnetic field between the plates.
A capacitor being charged by a current iC has a displacement current equal to iC between the
plates, with
displacement current iD = A dE/dt
From C = A / d and V = E d we can use q = C V to get
q = ( A / d ) (E d ) = E A = and
from iC = dq / dt = A dE / dt = d/ dt = iD
We have now seen that a changing E field can produce a B field,
and from Faraday’s Law, a changing B field can produce an E field or emf.

MAXWELL’S EQUATIONS
C 2004 Pearson Educational / Addison Wesley
The relationships between electric and magnetic fields and
their sources can be stated compactly in four equations,
called Maxwell’s equations.
Together they form a complete basis for the relation of E and B
fields to their sources.
