ELE 1001: Basic Electrical Technology Flux produced by a current carrying conductor An electric current flowing in a conductor creates a magnetic field around it. Determination of direction of magnetic field: Maxwell’s right hand grip rule : Assume that the current carrying conductor is held in right hand so that the fingers wrap around the conductor and the thumb is stretched along the direction of current. Wrapped fingers will show the direction of circular magnetic field lines. + . Dept. of E&E, MIT, Manipal 5

ELE 1001: Basic Electrical Technology Magnetic field produced by a solenoid Determination of direction of magnetic field: Right hand grip rule for solenoid: If the coil is gripped with the right hand, with the fingers pointing in the direction of the current, then the thumb, outstretched parallel to the axis of the solenoid, points in the direction of the magnetic field inside the solenoid Dept. of E&E, MIT, Manipal 6

ELE 1001: Basic Electrical Technology Force acting on a conductor Ø Ø A current carrying conductor, placed in a magnetic field, experiences a force. This is the principle of electric motor. Force on a single conductor = flux density length of conductor current f = B I l sinθ Newton This force can be increased by increase in any one of these components. θ θ Dept. of E&E, MIT, Manipal 7

ELE 1001: Basic Electrical Technology Direction of Force: Fleming’s left hand rule Ø Let the thumb, first finger and second finger of the left hand be extended such that they are all at right-angles to each other. Ø If the first finger points in the direction of the magnetic field, the second finger points in the direction of the current, then the thumb will point in the direction of the motion of the conduct thumb (Mechanical force) (First finger) Field (Second finger) Current Dept. of E&E, MIT, Manipal 8

ELE 1001: Basic Electrical Technology Faraday’s laws of Electromagnetic Induction Ø An induced emf is set up whenever the magnetic field linking that circuit changes. Ø The magnitude of the induced emf in any circuit is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux linking the circuit. Dept. of E&E, MIT, Manipal 9

ELE 1001: Basic Electrical Technology Lenz’s law An electro magnetically induced emf always acts in such a direction to set up a current opposing the motion or change of flux responsible for inducing the emf. Dept. of E&E, MIT, Manipal 10

ELE 1001: Basic Electrical Technology Direction of induced emf : Fleming's right hand rule If the first finger of the right hand is pointed in the direction of the magnetic flux, and if the thumb is pointed in the direction of motion of the conductor relative to the magnetic field, then the second finger, held at right angles to both the thumb and the first finger represents the direction of emf.

ELE 1001: Basic Electrical Technology Dynamically induced emf Ø The voltage induced in the conductor due to relative motion of conductor and magnetic field Ø Either conductor or magnetic field is moving Ø Principle of Electric generator Dept. of E&E, MIT, Manipal 12

ELE 1001: Basic Electrical Technology Statically induced emf The voltage induced in the conductor due to change in the magnetic field Conductor is stationary Magnetic Field is changing in a stationary Magnetic System; Eg: Transformer Dept. of E&E, MIT, Manipal 141 3

ELE 1001: Basic Electrical Technology Summary Ø An electric current flowing in a conductor creates a magnetic field around it. Ø A current carrying conductor, placed in a magnetic field, experiences a force. (eg. motor). Ø Whenever the magnetic field linking with a circuit changes an emf is induced in it. Change in magnetic field can be achieved statically (eg. transformer) or by dynamically (eg. generator). Dept. of E&E, MIT, Manipal 14
