Ch 34: Faraday’s Experiment
Electromagnetic Induction
• Trying to induce a current using magnetic fields
• No induced current in “Y” loop with a DC circuit
• Saw a current when opening and closing the
switch (changing the magnetic field)
Faraday’s Law - An induced emf is produced by
a changing magnetic field
– Can move magnet or loop
– Direction of motion controls direction of current
– No movement, no current
Predict the direction of the induced current
Motional EMF
• A current is caused by an electric field
• Current continues until FB = FE
FE = qE
FB = qvB
qE = qvB

An airplane travels at 1000 km/hr in a region where
the earth’s magnetic field is 5 X 10-5T (vertical).
Calculate the potential difference between the
wing tips if they are 70 m apart.
1000 km/hr = 280 m/s
E = Blv
E = (5 X 10-5T )(70 m)(280 m/s) = 1.0 V
Motional EMF
• Moving a bar or wire produces charge separation
• If looped, produces a current
• Bar doesn’t want to move (Lenz’s law), must
exert a force
• Remember Fmag = IlB
Fpull = vl2B2

Lenz’s Law: Ex 2
What will happen to the current if you allow the
ring to relax to its original shape?

Counter EMF
Counter EMF: Ex 1
• Counter (back) emf – as a motor turns, an emf is
induced that opposes the motion (Lenz’s law)
• Counter emf is less than the external voltage
when under a load
• The slower a motor rotates, the less counter emf
The windings of a DC motor have a resistance of
5.0 W. When the motor reaches full speed, the
counter emf is 108 V. What is the current when
the motor is just starting up, and when it reaches
full speed (voltage = 120 V)
13
6/3/2013
Just starting up (almost no counter emf)
V = IR
I = V/R = 120 V/5.0 W = 24 A
At full speed (V = 120 V – 108 V = 12 V)
I = V/R = 12 V/5.0 W = 2.4 A
Counter EMF: Ex 2
If a blender or drill jams (motor can’t turn), the
device may burn out. Why?
– No counter emf
– Current can be very high
– Wires may heat up
Current is VERY high at start
– Lights may dim when refrigerator starts
– Lights dim if on when starting a car
