    Electromagnetic effects

    Electromagnetic induction

    • Electromagnetic induction refers to the effect of producing electricity from magnetism.

    Two experiment may be carried out to demonstrate electromagnetic induction.

    1. A wire and a u-shaped magnet


    • First the wire is held at rest between the poles of the magnet.
    • It is then moved in each of the six directions shown in the diagram below and the
    meter observed.
    • Only when it is moving upwards (direction 1) or downwards (direction 2) is there a
    deflection on the meter, indicating an induced current in the wire.
    • The deflection is in opposite directions in these two cases and only lasts while the
    wire is in motion.

    2. Bar magnet and coil


    • The magnet is pushed into the coil, one pole first (diagram below), then held
    still inside it.
    • It is then withdrawn. The meter shows that current is induced in the coil in one
    direction as the magnet is moved in and in the opposite direction as it is moved
    out.
    • There is no deflection when the magnet is at rest. The results are the same if
    the coil is moved instead of the magnet, i.e. only relative motion is needed.

    ➢ These experiments indicate that an e.m.f. is induced in a conductor


    when it is linked by a changing magnetic field or when it moves across
    a magnetic field.

    Direction of induced e.m.f.

    • The direction of an induced e.m.f. opposes the change causing it. This means that any
    magnetic field created by the EMF will act so that it tries to stop the wire or magnet
    from moving. (Lenz’s law)
    • In figure a below, the magnet approaches the coil, north pole first.

    • The induced e.m.f. and resulting current flow should be in a direction that makes the
    coil behave like a magnet with its top a north pole.
    • The downward motion of the magnet will then be opposed since like poles repel.
    • When the magnet is withdrawn, the top of the coil should become a south pole
    (Figure b) and attract the north pole of the magnet, so hindering its removal.
    • The induced e.m.f. and current are thus in the opposite direction to that when the
    magnet approaches.

    Factors affecting the magnitude of an induced e.m.f.

    e.m.f. increases with increases of ;

    (i) the speed of motion of the magnet or coil,


    (ii) the number of turns on the coil,
    (iii) the strength of the magnet

    Direction of magnetic field

    • For a straight wire moving at right angles to a magnetic field the direction of the
    induced current can be found from Fleming’s right-hand rule (the ‘dynamo rule’) .
    • Hold the thumb and first two fingers of the right hand at right angles to each other
    with the First finger pointing in the direction of the Field and the thuMb in the
    direction of Motion of the wire, then the seCond finger points in the direction of the
    induced Current.
    • Note that the direction of motion represents the direction in which the force acts on
    the conductor.

    Task
    1. A magnet is pushed, N pole first. Which one of the following statements A to D is not
    true? A. An e.m.f. is induced in the coil and causes a current through the galvanometer.
    B. The induced e.m.f. increases if the magnet is pushed in faster and/or the coil has more
    turns.
    C. Kinetic energy is transferred to electrical energy.
    D. The effect produced is called electrostatic induction.
    2. A straight wire moves vertically upwards at right angles to a magnetic field acting
    horizontally from right to left. Make a sketch to represent the directions of the
    magnetic field, the force on the wire and the induced current in the wire if it is
    connected to a complete circuit.
