Electromagnetic Induction Phenomena was discovered by
Faraday
The Experiment:
‹#›
What happens when a conductor moves in a magnetic field?
When flux linking with a conductor (or coil) changes, an emf is induced in it.
What are the ways in which flux linkages can change?
This change in flux linkages can be obtained in the following two ways:
(i) By either moving the conductor and keeping the magnetic field system stationary
or moving the magnetic field system and keeping the conductor stationary in such a way
that conductor cuts across the magnetic field (as in case of DC and AC generators).
o The emf induced in this way is called dynamically induced emf
(ii) By changing the flux linking with the coil (or conductor) without moving either coil or
field system. However, the change of flux produced by the field system linking with the
coil is obtained by changing the current in the field system (solenoid), as in
transformers.
‹#›
o The emf induced in this way is called statically induced emf
The emf produced due to motion between the conductor and the magnetic
field is called induced emf.
This law states that “The magnitude of induced emf in a coil is directly
proportional to the rate of change of flux linkages. The flux linkages is the
product of number of turns and the flux associated with the coil.
‹#›
The direction of induced emf and hence current in a
conductor or coil can be determined by either of the
following two methods
Fleming’s Right Hand Rule:
“Stretch, first finger, second finger, and thumb of your right hand
mutually perpendicular to each other. If first finger indicates the
direction of magnetic field, thumb indicates the direction of
motion of conductor then second finger will indicate the direction
of induced emf in the conductor.”
Apply Lenz’s Law:
Electro-magnetically induced emf and hence current flows in a coil
or circuit in such a direction that the magnetic field set up by it,
always opposes the very cause which produces it.

‹#›
When current flows through one coil, it produces flux .
The whole of this flux may not be linking with the other coil coupled to it
It may be reduced, because of leakage flux, by a fraction k known as co-efficient of coupling.
Thus, the fraction of magnetic flux produced by the current in one coil that links with the
other is known as co-efficient of coupling (k) between the two coils.
If the flux produced by one coil completely links with the other, then the value of
k is one and the coils are said to be magnetically tightly coupled.
Whereas, if the flux produced by one coil does not link at all with the other,
then the value of k is zero and the coils are said to be magnetically isolated.

Advantages of Stationary armature - Rotating field
Armature winding on stator and Field winding on rotor
• It is easy to insulate the stationary winding.
• Stator winding is not subjected to centrifugal forces.
• Stator winding (stator) voltage rating can be increased.
• Sparking at brushes is completely avoided.
• Perfect mechanical balance is obtained on stator winding.
• It is easy to insulate slip-rings that are on dc (low rating).
• The rotor weight is less compared to the stator weight.
• The heavy bearings are not required since the rotor is lightweight.

A coil consists of two coil sides.

SLOT PITCH:
It is the phase angle between two adjustment slots
If the coil span is equal to pole pitch then the winding is called Full Pitch Winding

NOTE:
• Harmonics are different from transient distortions to power systems
such as spikes, dips and impulses.
• They are steady-state distortions to current and voltage waves and
repeat every cycle.

Effect of Harmonics
• In electrical machine, every effort is made to make the
magnetic flux density wave sinusoidal in space.
• But practically, it is never distributed sinusoidally in space but
contains various harmonics.
• Out of various harmonics, third harmonic is the most dominant.
• A third harmonic component of flux density wave may be assumed
to be produced by 3 poles as compared to the one pole for
fundamental component.
• In view of this, the angular slot pitch for third harmonic will be
3γ and hence nγ for nth harmonics.
• In the view of this, the chording angle for the rth harmonic
becomes r times the chording angle for the fundamental
component and pitch factor for the rth harmonic is given as,
Effect of Harmonics on Pitch Factor
The rth harmonic becomes zero, if,
