Varying electric current produces magnetic field due to which emf is induced in a closed loop placed near to the current carrying conductor. Let's solve a problem to understand how it works.

Faraday's Law says that the emf induced (and therefore the current induced) in the loop is proportional to the rate of change in magnetic flux. Calculate induced emf in a coil caused by varying flux due to magnetic field.
A rectangular loop of length and breadth is placed at a distance of from an infinitely long wire carrying current such that the direction of current is parallel to breadth. If the loop moves away from the current wire in a direction perpendicular to it with a velocity , the magnitude of the e.m.f. in the loop is ( permeability of free space)

There are three ways to change the magnetic flux through a loop:
  • Change the magnetic field strength (increase, decrease) over the surface area.

  • Change the area of the loop (increase by expanding the loop, decrease by shrinking the loop).

  • Change the angle between the surface defined by the loop and the magnetic field vector. Remember that flux is the integral of the dot product between and .

Solve problems where circuit is rotating in the plane of magnetic field.
Two identical cycle wheels (geometrically) have different number of spokes connected from center to rim. One is having spokes and the other having only (the rim and the spokes are resistanceless). One resistance of value is connected between center and rim. The current in will be

double in the first wheel than in the second wheel
B
four times in the first wheel than in the second wheel
C
will be double in the second wheel than that of the first wheel
D

A current carrying coil is placed in a magnetic field and when it is altered (rotated) from its initial position, magnetic induction takes place. this is all based on Faraday's law of induction and Lenz's law. Let's solve a problem.

A coil of 50 turns and area  is pivoted about a vertical diameter in a uniform current of the horizontal magnetic field and carries a current of 2A. When the coil is held with its plane in N-S direction, it experiences a couple of 0.04 N-m; and when its plane is E-W, the corresponding couple is 0.03 N-m. The magnetic induction is

0.2 T

0.3 T

0.4 T
D
0.5 T

When a metallic closed loop pattern of wire is placed in a varying magnetic field, emf is induced inside the loop.
Let's solve a problem by considering the resistance of wire and understand how it works.

An emf induced by motion relative to a magnetic field B is called a motional emf. Let see how this concept is used to move a rod in a constant magnetic field and also the charging of a capacitor with the passes of time.

A thin insulated wire forms a plane spiral of N tight turns carrying a current I due to which magnetic induction produced at the centre of the spiral. It works on the principle of Biot-Savart's law.
