Lenz Law Physics 132: Lecture e 22 Elements of Physics II Agenda for Today Emf opposes change in flux Faraday s Law Induced EMF in a conducting loop Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 1
Lenz s Law Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 2
Lenz s Law Why? Does lenz's law apply to the moment of the change in flux or will the induced B field be the "permanent" field after the change. Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 3
Lenz s Law Reasoning Strategy 1. Find the direction of the magnetic flux that penetrates the coil. 2. Determine whether the magnetic flux that penetrates the coil is increasing or decreasing. Increasing: induced b-field opposes magnetic flux Decreasing: induced b-field aligned with magnetic flux 3. Use RHR-2 to determine the direction of the induced current. Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 4
Clicker Question 1: The magnetic field points out of the page and is increasing. (a) The induced current will flow counterclockwise. (b) The induced current will flow clockwise. (c) There will be no induced current. Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 5
Clicker Question 1: Correct: The loop creates an induced magnetic field opposite of the actual magnetic field to keep the magnetic flux constant. Since the induced field points into the page, the current will flow clockwise because of the right hand rule. The change in flux is increasing out of the page, so by the righthand rule a clock-wise current is needed to induce a magnetic field pointing into the page. When the magnetic field is increasing the induced field of the induced current is pointing in the opposite direction of the magnetic field. I used the curly right hand rule : thumb points in direction of induced magnetic field and fingers curl in direction of induced current. Science Incorrect: The external magnetic field points out, the induced field must always counteract this field and point in. Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 6
