Electromagnetic Induction Revision - JEE Advanced Level
Electromagnetic induction is a fundamental concept in electromagnetism and plays a crucial role in many applications ranging from power generation to electrical circuits. Let's dive deep into the core principles, laws, and examples to solidify your understanding of electromagnetic induction.
1. Faraday's Laws of Electromagnetic Induction
Faraday's laws state that the induced electromotive force (EMF) in any closed circuit is equal to the negative rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit:
Mathematically, Faraday's law can be written as:
\[ \mathcal{E} = -\frac{d\Phi}{dt} \]
where, \(\mathcal{E}\) is the induced EMF and \(\Phi\) is the magnetic flux.
2. Lenz's Law
Lenz's law gives the direction of the induced EMF and current resulting from electromagnetic induction. It states that the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it.
Example Problem:
A circular loop of radius 5 cm is placed in a magnetic field that changes from 0 to 0.2 T in 0.1 seconds. Calculate the induced EMF in the loop.
Solution:
Using Faraday's Law: \[ \mathcal{E} = -\frac{d\Phi}{dt} = -\frac{d(B \cdot A)}{dt} \]
Where area \(A = \pi \times (0.05)^2\) and change in \(B = 0.2 - 0\) Tesla. Substitute and calculate to find the EMF.

4. Self-Inductance and Mutual Inductance
The concept of inductance is central to understanding how coils and inductors behave in circuits. The self-inductance of a coil is given by:
\[ L = \frac{N \Phi}{I} \]
Where \(L\) is the inductance, \(N\) is the number of turns, \(\Phi\) is the magnetic flux, and \(I\) is the current.
Mutual inductance between two coils is given by:
\[ M = \frac{N_2 \Phi_2}{I_1} \]
where \(M\) is the mutual inductance, \(N_2\) is the number of turns in the second coil, \(\Phi_2\) is the magnetic flux in the second coil due to the first coil's current \(I_1\).
Conclusion
Electromagnetic induction is a powerful phenomenon that has wide-ranging applications. Mastery of these concepts, equations, and principles is crucial for success in competitive exams like JEE Advanced. Practice the example problems and visualize the concepts to strengthen your understanding.
