EMF. Induced field.

Displacement current.
DEMO:
ACT: Two rings Jumping rings

Two copper rings with the same geometry move toward identical
magnets with the same velocity as shown. The ring in case 2,
though, has a small slit. Compare the magnitudes of:
• the induced emf’s in the rings:
A. ε1 < ε2 EMF is independent of the
actual ring. It would be the v N S 1
B. ε1 = ε 2 same for a wooden ring, or
even in vacuum!
C. ε1 > ε2
• the magnetic force on the rings:
A. F1 < F2 No current in case 2
because ring is v N S 2
B. F1 = F2 open.

C. F1 > F2 F2 = 0
In-class example: AC generator

A coil of copper wire consists of 120 loops of wire wound around a 10


cm  20 cm rectangular form. If this coil is used to generate an
induced emf by rotating it in a 0.3 T field at 60 Hz, what is the
maximum emf that can be produced?

Eddy currents

Induced emf due to change in flux

path they take not well-defined
 eddy currents

External force required to pull sheet because induced


current opposes change.
Current through bulk  heating  energy loss
Applications: Damping

Eddy currents induced in a copper plate when it passes near


magnets.
Low resistivity  large currents

 Magnets exert force against motion


 Plate is slowed down

This effect does not “wear down” (like
copper v rubbing surfaces do). It is used as a brake
system in roller coasters and alike.

To reduce eddy currents when undesirable, DEMOs:


prevent currents from flowing (cutting Eddy currents:
slots or laminating material). pendulum and
magnets
through tube
Metal detectors

• Pulse current through primary coil


– B-field which changes with time
– induces currents in a piece of nearby metal
• Induced currents generate B-field which changes in
time
– induces currents in coils of metal detector
– sets off signal, alarm…

Induced electric field

Two types of E fields

1. E field produced by charges


• Lines begin/end on charges
• Ñ E dl

 Conservative electric field

2. E field produced by B field that changes with time


• lines are loops that do not begin/end

When the switch in the circuit below is closed, the capacitor


begins charging. While it is charging, is there a current between
the plates?

Displacement current

There is not current, but there is a time-changing q
