Faraday’s Discovery
Faraday found that there is a current in a coil
of wire if and only if the magnetic field passing
through the coil is changing. This is an informal
statement of Faraday’s law.
Magnetic data storage encodes information in a pattern
of alternating magnetic fields. When these fields move
past a small pick-up coil, the changing magnetic field
creates an induced current in the coil. This current is
amplified into a sequence of voltage pulses that
represent the 0s and 1s of digital data.

Magnetic flux can be
defined in terms of an area vector
The magnetic flux measures the amount of magnetic
field passing through a loop of area A if the loop is tilted
at an angle θ from the field, B. As a dot-product, the
equation becomes AB cosθ
Example 34.5 Magnetic flux from the current in a long
straight wire (P1051)

Inductors
• Capacitors: as devices that produce a uniform electric field.
• Capacitance: C = Q/ΔV
• Capacitor stores potential energy UC =1/2 C(ΔV)2
• Inductors: A coil of wire in the form of a solenoid is a device that
produces a uniform magnetic field. An idea inductor is one for
which the wire forming a coil has no electric resistance .
