CASE STUDY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

19. Lenz’s law states that ,The induced electromotive force with different polarities induces a current whose magnetic field opposes the change in magnetic flux through the loop in order to ensure that original flux is maintained through the loop when current flows in it. To better understand Lenz‟s law, let us consider two cases:

Case 1: When a magnet is moving towards the coil.
When the north pole of the magnet is approaching towards the coil, the magnetic flux linking to the coil increases. According to Faraday‟s law of electromagnetic induction, when there is a change in flux, an EMF, and hence current is induced in the coil and this current will create its own magnetic field.

Now according to Lenz‟s law, this magnetic field created will oppose its own or we can say opposes the increase in flux through the coil and this is possible only if approaching coil side attains north polarity, as we know similar poles repel each other. Once we know the magnetic polarity of the coil side, we can easily determine the direction of the induced current by applying right hand rule. In this case, the current flows in the anticlockwise direction.

 

Case 2: When a magnet is moving away from the coil

When the north pole of the magnet is moving away from the coil, the magnetic flux linking to the coil decreases. According to Faraday‟s law of electromagnetic induction, an EMF and hence current is induced in the coil and this current will create its own magnetic field.
Now according to Lenz‟s law, this magnetic field created will oppose its own or we can say opposes the decrease in flux through the coil and this is possible only if approaching coil side attains south polarity, as we know dissimilar poles attract each other. Once we know the magnetic polarity of the coil side, we can easily determine the direction of the induced current by applying right hand rule. In this case, the current flows in a clockwise direction.
Note that for finding the directions of magnetic field or current, use the right-hand thumb rule i.e if the fingers of the right hand are placed around the wire so that the thumb points in the direction of current flow, then the curling of fingers will show the direction of the magnetic field produced by the wire.

20. According to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, there will be an EMF induced in the second winding. If the circuit of this secondary winding is closed, then a current will flow through it. This is the basic working principle of a transformer.
Let us use electrical symbols to help visualize this. The winding which receives electrical power from the source is known as the “primary winding”. In the diagram below this is the “First Coil”. The winding which gives the desired output voltage due to mutual induction is commonly known as the “secondary winding”. This is the “Second Coil” in the diagram above.

A transformer that increases voltage between the primary to secondary windings is defined as a step-up transformer. Conversely, a transformer that decreases voltage between the primary to secondary windings is defined as a step-down transformer.
Whether the transformer increases or decreases the voltage level depends on the relative number of turns between the primary and secondary side of the transformer.
If there are more turns on the primary coil than the secondary coil than the voltage will decrease (step down).
If there are less turns on the primary coil than the secondary coil than the voltage will increase (step up).
While the diagram of the transformer above is theoretically possible in an ideal transformer – it is not very practical. This is because in the open air only a very tiny portion of the flux produced from the first coil will link with the second coil. So the current that flows through the closed circuit connected to the secondary winding will be extremely small (and difficult to measure).
The rate of change of flux linkage depends upon the amount of linked flux with the second winding. So ideally almost all of the flux of primary winding should link to the secondary winding. This is effectively and efficiently done by using a core type transformer. This provides a low reluctance path common to both of the windings.

21. Definition: Mutual Inductance between the two coils is defined as the property of the coil due to which it opposes the change of current in the other coil, or you can say in the neighbouring coil. When the current in the neighbouring coil changes, the flux sets up in the coil and because of this, changing flux emf is induced in the coil called Mutually Induced emf and the phenomenon is known as Mutual Inductance.
The value of Mutual Inductance (M) depends upon the following factors
1. Number of turns in the secondary or neighboring coil
2. Cross-sectional area
3. Closeness of the two coils

Mutual Coupling In the Magnetic Circuit
When on a magnetic core, two or more than two coils are wound, the coils are said to be mutually coupled. The current, when passed in any of the coils wound around the magnetic core, produces flux which links all the coils together and also the one in which current is passed.
Hence, there will be both self-induced emf and mutual induced emf in each of the coils.
The best example of the mutual inductance is the transformer, which works on the principle of Faraday‟s Law of Electromagnetic Induction.
Faraday‟s law of electromagnetic induction states that “ the magnitude of voltage is directly proportional to the rate of change of flux.” which is explained in the topic Faraday‟s Law of Electromagnetic Induction.
