ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION
1 MAGNETIC FLUX
Consider a closed curve enclosing an area A (as shown in the figure). Let there be a uniform
→ →
magnetic field B in that region. The magnetic flux through the area A is given by
→ →
 = B ⋅A … (1)
= BA cos
where  is the angle which the vector B makes with the normal
→ → →
to the surface. If B  to A , then the flux through the closed area A is
zero. SI unit of flux is weber (Wb).
2 FARADAY’S LAW OF ELECTROMAGNETIC
Faraday in 1831 discovered that whenever magnetic flux linked with a closed conducting loop
changes, an e.m.f is induced in it. If the circuit is closed, a current flows through it as long as magnetic flux
is changing. This current is called induced current, the emf induced in the loop is called induced emf and
the phenomenon is known as electromagnetic induction.

Figure shows a bar magnet placed along the axis of a conducting loop connected with a
galvanometer. In this case there is no current in the galvanometer. Now if we move the magnet towards the
loop there is a deflection in the galvanometer showing that there is an electric current inside the loop. If the
magnet is moved away from the loop a current flows again in the loop but in the opposite direction. This
current exists as long as the magnet is moving. Faraday studied this behaviour in detail and discovered the
following law of nature.
Whenever the flux of magnetic field through the area bounded by a closed conducting loop
changes, an emf is produced in the loop. The emf is given by
dφ
ε =−
dt … (2)
→ →
where  = ∫ B .d A
the flux of magnetic field through the area.
The emf so produced drives an electric current through the loop. If the resistance of the loop is R,
then the current

 Question: If the flux of magnetic induction through a coil changes from 1 = 10 Wb to 2=20Wb then
find the charge q that flows through the circuit of total resistance R =10.
dφ
Solution: Let  be the instantaneous flux. Then dt is the instantaneous rate of change of flux which is equal

to the magnitude of the instantaneous emf. So current in the circuit |i | =

3 LENZ’S LAW
The effect of the induced emf is such as to oppose the change in flux that produces it.

In figure (a) as the magnet approaches the loop, the positive flux through the loop increases. The
induced current sets up an induced magnetic field. Bind whose negative flux opposes this change. The
direction of Bind is opposite to that of external field Bext due to the magnet.
In figure (b) the flux through the loop decreases as the magnet moves away from the loop, the flux
due to the induced magnetic field tries to maintain the flux through the loop, so the direction of induced
current is opposite to that first case. The direction of Bind is same as that of Bext due to magnet.
Lenz’s law is closely related to law of conservation of energy and is actually a consequence of this general
law of nature. As the north pole of the magnet moves towards the loop which opposes the motion of N-pole of the
bar magnet. Thus, in order to move the magnet toward the loop with a constant velocity an external force is to be
applied. The work done by this external force gets transformed into electric energy, which induces current in the
loop.
There is another alternative way to find the direction of current inside the loop which is describe
below.
Figure shows a conducting loop placed near a long, straight
wire carrying a current i as shown. If the current increases
continuously, then there will be an emf induced inside the loop. Due to
this induced emf an electric current is induced. To determine the
direction of current inside the loop we put an arrow as shown. The right
hand thumb rule shows the positive normal to the loop is going into the
plane. Again the same rule shows that the magnetic field at the site of
the loop is also going into the plane of the diagram.
 → →
Thus B and d A are in same direction. Therefore ∫
→ →
B .d A is positive if i increases, the magnitude
dφ
of  increases. Since  is positive and its magnitude increases, dt is positive. Thus  is negative and hence
the current is negative. Thus the current induced is opposite, to that of arrow.

4 CALCULATION OF INDUCED EMF

As we know that magnetic flux () linked with a closed conducting loop = B.A cos
where B is the strength of the magnetic field, A is the magnitude of the area vector and  is the
angle between magnetic field vector and area vector.
Hence flux will be affected by change in any of them, which is discussed below.
4.1 BY CHANGING THE MAGNETIC FIELD
Consider a long infinite wire carrying a time varying
current i = kt (k > 0), since current in the wire is continuously
increasing therefore we conclude that magnetic field due to
this wire in the region is also increasing. Let a circular loop of
radius a (a < < d) is placed at a distance d from the wire. The
resistance of the loop is R.

4.2 BY CHANGING THE AREA
Figure shows a conductor kept in contact with two
conducting wires ab and cd which are connected with the help of a
resistance R. The entire setup is placed inside a region of uniform
magnetic field. Let the conductor start moving with uniform velocity
v away from resistance as shown. As the conductor moves away the
area of closed loop increases causing an induced e.m.f. in the closed
loop.
Let at any time t the wire PQ is at a distance x from ac
So flux  of magnetic field through closed loop is
dφ Bldx
 = – dt = – dt
|ε| Blv
I= =
R R
direction of current is anticlockwise which can be found either by Faraday’s law or by Lenz’s law.
4.3 BY CHANGING THE ANGLE
Let us consider the case when the magnitude of the magnetic
field strength and the area of the coil remains constant. When the coil
is rotated relative to the direction of the field, an induced current is
produced which lasts as long as coil is rotating.
We have,  = BA cos  [where B is the magnetic field
strength, A is the magnitude of the area vector &  is the angle
between them]
If the angular velocity with which the coil is rotating is  then  = t
Induced e.m.f in the coil
dφ
ε=– =
dt BA sin t
|ε| BωA
= sin ωt
Induced current in the coil = I = R R
So we conclude that induced current in any circuit is caused either by the change of magnetic field
vector or by the change of area vector.

In figure (a), (b) and (c) the flux linked with the loop C will not change with time as here none of the
quantities i.e B, A and  changes.
dφ
Hence,   0 but dt = 0
So e.m.f. induced inside the loop will be zero.

Question: A 10 ohm coil of mean area 500 cm 2 and having 1000 turns is held perpendicular to a uniform
field of 0.4  10–4T. The coil is turned through 180° in (1/10) s. Calculate
 (a) the change in flux (in mWb) (b) the average induced emf (in mV) (c) average induced
current (in mA) and (d) the charge (in C) that flows in the circuit.
Solution: (a) When the plane of coil is perpendicular to the field as shown in figure (a) the angle between area
→ →
S and field B is 0°. So the flux linked with the coil,
1 = NSB cos 00 = NSB
When the coil is turned through 180° as shown in figure (b), the flux linked with the coil will be 2
= NSB cos1800 = –NSB

So change in flux,
 = 2 – 1 = – NSB – (NSB) = –2NSB
i.e., || = 2 × 103 × (500 × 10–4) × (0.4 × 10–4) = 4
(b) As in turning through 180°, i.e., in change of flux , the coil takes (1/10)s,

Question: A space is divided by the line XY into two regions. Region I is field free and the region II has a
uniform magnetic field B = 2T directed into the paper. ACD is a semi-circular conducting loop
of radius r = 1m with centre at O, the plane of the loop being in the plane of the paper. The
loop is now made to rotate with a constant angular velocity  = 1 rad/s about an axis passing
through O, and perpendicular to the plane of the paper in the clockwise direction. The
effective resistance of the loop is R= 1000.
(a) Find the induced current (in mA) in the loop
(b) Show the direction of the current when the loop is
entering into the region II.
(c) Plot a graph between the induced emf and the time
of rotation for two periods of rotation.

Solution: (a) As in time t, the arc swept by the loop in the field, i.e., region II,
1 1
r (rθ ) = r 2 ωt
S= 2 2 [ ∵  = t]
So the flux linked with the rotating loop at time t,
 1
 = BS = 2 Br2t
dφ 1
ε =− = − Bωr 2
and hence the induced emf in the loop, dt 2 = constant.
and as the resistance of the loop is R, the induced current in it,
ε Bωr 2
I= =
R 2 R = 1 mA

(b) When the loop is entering the region II, i.e., the field figure (b), the inward flux linked with it
will increase, so in accordance with Lenz’s law an anticlockwise current will be induced in it.
(c) Taking induced emf to the negative when flux linked with the loop is increasing and positive
when decreasing, the emf versus time graph will be, as shown in figure (c).

A magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the

Question:
rectangular frame of wire is concentrated about O. if the
field decreases, will there be any emf induced in loop
1&2?
There is an induced emf in loop 1 because it encloses the field and so there is a change of flux. No

Solution:
emf is induced in loop 2 as it does not enclose any field.

Question: Two parallel, long, straight conductors lie on a smooth plane surface. Two other parallel
conductors rest on them at right angles so as to form a square of side a initially. A uniform
magnetic field B exists at right angles to the plane containing the conductors. Now they start
moving out with a constant velocity (v). (a) Will the induced emf be time dependent? (b) will
the current be time dependent?
Solution: Yes,  (instantaneous flux) = B (a + 2vt)2
dϕ

  = dt (a + 2vt)
(b) No. i (instantaneous current) = /R

 Question: The loops in the figure move into or out of the field
which is along the inward normal to the plane of the
paper. Indicate the direction of currents in loops 1, 2,
3, 4

In 1, flux decreases and so induced current must be clockwise to increase the flux. Due to the same

Solution:
reason currents in 3 and 4 are clockwise but in 2 current must be anticlockwise as flux is increasing.

5 MECHANISM OF THE INDUCED EMF ACROSS THE ENDS OF

A
Figure shows a conducting rod of length l moving with a
constant velocity v in a uniform magnetic field. The length of the
rod is perpendicular to magnetic field, and velocity is perpendicular
to both the magnetic field and the length of the rod. An electron
→ → →
F = − e (v × B )
inside the conductor experiences a magnetic force B
directed downward along the rod. As a result electrons migrate
towards the lower end and leave unbalanced positive charges at the
top. This redistribution of charges sets up an electric field E
directed downward. This electric field exerts a force on free
electrons in the upward direction. As redistribution continues
electric field grows in magnitude until a situation, when
→ → →
|qV × B| = |q E|
After this, there is no resultant force on the free electrons and the potential difference across the
conductor is
→ → → → →
∫ dε =−E .d l = ∫ (v × B ) . d l … (4)
Thus it is the magnetic force on the moving free electrons that maintains the potential difference.
So e.m.f. developed across the ends of the rod moving perpendicular to magnetic field with velocity
perpendicular to the rod,
 = vBl … (5)
As this emf is produced due to the motion of the conductor, it is called motional emf.
In the problems related to motional e.m.f. we can replace the rod by a battery of e.m.f. vBl.

Question: A 0.4 metre long straight conductor moves in a magnetic field of magnetic induction 0.9
Wb/m2 with a velocity of 0.7 m/sec. Calculate the emf induced (in mV) in the conductor under
the condition when it is maximum.
 → →
Solution: If a rod of length l is moved with velocity v at an angle  to the length of the rod in a field B
which is perpendicular to the plane of the motion, the flux linked with the area generated by the
motion of rod in time t,
dφ
|ε|=
 = Bl(v sin )t so, dt = Bvl sin 
This will be maximum when sin  = max = 1, i.e., the rod
is moving perpendicular to its length and then
()max = Bvl = 0.9 × 0.7 × 0.4 = 252  10–3V

A square metal wire loop of side 10 cm and

Question:
resistance 1 ohm is moved with a constant velocity v0
in a uniform magnetic field of induction B = 2
Wb/m2 as shown in figure. The magnetic field lines
are perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The loop
is connected to a network of resistance each of value
3 ohm. The resistances of the lead wires OS and PQ
are negligible. What should be the speed of the loop
so as to have a steady current of 1 milliampere in the
loop? Find the direction of current in the loop?
Solution: As the network AQCS is a balanced Wheatstone bridge, no current will flow through AC and hence
the effective resistance of the network between QS.,
6× 6
RQS =
6+6 = 3 ohm
and as the resistance of the loop is 1 ohm, the total resistance of the circuit,

Substituting the given data, Bl 2 × 0.1 = 2 × 10–2 ms–1 = 2 cm/s
In accordance with Lenz’s law the induced current in the loop will be in clockwise direction.

Question: Two parallel wires AL and BM placed at a distance l = 1m are connected by a resistor R =
10 and placed in a magnetic field B =1T which is perpendicular to the plane containing the
wires. Another wire CD now connects the two wires perpendicularly and made to slide with
velocity v = 10m/s. Calculate the work done per second. needed to slide the wire CD. Neglect
the resistance of all the wires.
Solution: When a rod of length l moves in a magnetic field with velocity v as shown in figure, an emf Bvl will
be induced in it. Due to this induced emf, a current

to this induced current, the wire will experience a force

6 INDUCED ELECTRIC FIELD DUE TO A TME VARYING MAGNETIC FIELD

→
Consider a conducting loop placed at rest in a magnetic field B . Suppose, the field is constant till
t = 0 and then changes with time. An induced current starts in the loop at t = 0.
The free electrons were at rest till t = 0 (we are not interested in the random motion of the
electrons). The magnetic field cannot exert force on electrons at rest. Thus, the magnetic force cannot start
the induced current. The electrons may be forced to move only by an electric field.
So we conclude that an electric field appears at time t = 0. This electric field is produced by the changing
magnetic field and not by charged particles. The electric field produced by the changing magnetic field is
nonelectrostatic and nonconservative in nature. We cannot define a potential corresponding to this field.
We call it induced electric field. The lines of induced electric field are closed curves. There are no starting
and terminating points of the field lines.
→ →
If E be the induced electric field, the force on the charge q placed in the field is q E . The work
→ →
done per unit charge as the charge moves through d l is E . d l .
→
The presence of a conducting loop is not necessary to have an induced electric field. As long as B
keeps changing, the induced electric field is present. If a loop is there, the free electrons start drifting and
consequently an induced current results.

Question: A thin, non-conducting ring of mass m =1 kg carrying a charge q= 1C can rotate freely about
its axis. At the instant t = 0 the ring was at rest and no magnetic field was present. Then
suddenly a magnetic field B = 2T was set perpendicular to the plane. Find the angular velocity
acquired by the ring.
Solution: Due to the sudden change of flux an electric field is set up and the ring experiences an impulsive
torque and suddenly acquires an angular velocity.

7 SELF INDUCTANCE
When the current flows in a coil, it gives rise to a magnetic flux through the coil itself. When the
strength of current changes, the flux also changes and an e.m.f. is induced in the coil. This e.m.f. is called
self induced e.m.f. and the phenomenon is known as self induction.
The flux through the coil is proportional to current through it, i.e.,
φ∝i
dφ di
ε =− ε ∝
 dt i.e., dt
di
ε = −L
 dt … (7)
Where L is a constant of proportionality and is called self-inductance or simply inductance of the
coil. The unit of inductance is Henry. If the coil is wound over an iron core, the inductance is increased by
a factor r (relative permeability of iron).
8 MUTUAL INDUCTANCE
Consider two coils P and S placed close to each other as shown in the figure. When current passing
through a coil increases or decreases, the magnetic flux linked with the other coil also changes and an
induced e.m.f. is developed in it. This phenomenon is known as mutual induction. This coil in which
current is passed is known as primary and the other in which e.m.f. is developed is called as secondary.
Let the current through the primary coil at any instant be i1.
Then the magnetic flux 2 in the secondary at any time will be
proportional to i1 i.e.,
2 ¿ i 1
Therefore the induced e.m.f. in secondary when i1 changes
is given by
dφ di
ε=– 2 ε∝− 1

 = dt … (8)
where M is the constant of proportionality and is known as mutual inductance of two coils. It is
defined as the e.m.f. Induced in the secondary coil by unit rate of change of current in the primary coil. The
unit of mutual inductance is henry (H).

surrounding a long solenoid of length l1, radius R1 and number of

Notice that M is independent of the radius R2 of the surrounding coil. This is because solenoid’s
magnetic field is confined to its interior coil.

9 ENERGY STORED IN AN INDUCTOR

The energy of a capacitor is stored in the
electric field between its plates. Similarly an inductor
has the capability of storing energy in its magnetic
field.
An increasing current in an inductor causes an

(i) the current in B is increased?
(ii) the coil B is moved towards A keeping the current in B constant?

to a millivoltmeter. What is the reading of the millivoltmeter when a train travels at speed of 180
km/hr along the track given that the vertical component of earth’s magnetic field is 0.2 × 10 –4
Wb/m2 and the rails are separated by 1 m?
6. In the Figure a conducting rod AB makes contact with metal
rails AD and BC which are 50 cm apart in a uniform
magnetic field of induction 1.0 T, perpendicular to the
plane of the paper as shown. What is the magnitude of the
induced e.m.f. in the rod when it is moved to the right with
a velocity of 8 m/s?

7. A solenoid has an inductance of 10 henry and a resistance of 2 ohms. It is connected to a 10 volt

battery. How much magnetic energy is stored in the solenoid in steady state?

8. Two inductors of self-inductances L1 and L2 are connected in parallel. The inductors are so far
apart that their mutual inductance is negligible. What is the equivalent inductance of the
combination?

9. A primary coil is subjected to a current change of 12 A in 0.06 s. Another coil has an e.m.f.
induced in it. If the mutual inductance of the two coils is 4 H, (a) what is the induced e.m.f. in the
secondary coil? And (b) what is change in the flux linked in each turn of the secondary which has
1200 turns?

10. A coil has 600 turns which produces 5 × 10 –2 Wb of flux when a current of 3 A flows in it. This
produces a flux of 6 × 10 -3 Wb in a secondary coil of 1000 turns. When a switch is opened the
current drops to zero in 0.2 s. Find (a) the mutual inductance, (b) the induced e.m.f. in the
secondary and (c) the self-inductance of the primary coil.
1. Point B is at a higher potential.

2. The flow of current in the straight wire along AB produces a magnetic flux through the loop
towards the reader. This flux increases due to the increase in current. The induced current in the
loop will therefore be in the clockwise direction to oppose the increase in flux.

3. (i) No. When the frame rotates about the conductor as the axis, there is no net change in the flux
across the frame. Hence no current is induced in the frame.
(ii) Yes. An emf is induced when the frame rotates about AD.

4. (i) When the current in B is increased the flux associated with the coil A is increased. This
increase in flux will induce an e.m.f. and consequently a current in A, which by Lenz’s law,
has a direction to oppose the increase in flux through it. The direction of the induced current
in A as seen from B will be clockwise.
(ii) When the coil B is moved towards A keeping the current in B constant, this also produces an
increase in the flux associated with A. Now the direction of the induced current in A will be
such as to oppose the increase in flux, which causes the current. Again the direction of the
induced current in A as seen from B will be clockwise.
