Review Problem: Two very long, fixed wires cross
each other perpendicularly. They do not touch but are
close to each other, as shown. Equal currents flow in
the wires, in the directions shown. Indicate the locus of
points where the net magnetic field is zero.

20.5 Generators
Generators and motors are two of the most important
applications of induced emf (magnetic inductance).
A generator is something that converts mechanical
energy to electrical energy.
Alternating Current (AC) generator
Direct Current (DC) generator
A motor does the opposite, it converts electrical energy
to mechanical energy.

AC Generators
Basic operation of the generator




As the loop rotates, the magnetic
flux through it changes with time
This induces an emf and a
current in the external circuit
The ends of the loop are
connected to slip rings that rotate
with the loop
Connections to the external
circuit are made by stationary
brushed in contact with the slip
rings

DC generator
By a clever change to the rings and brushes
of the ac generator, we can create a dc
generator, that is, a generator where the
polarity of the emf is always positive.
The basic idea is to use a single split ring
instead of two complete rings. The split ring
is arranged so that, just as the emf is about
to change sign from positive to negative, the
brushes cross the gap, and the polarity of
the contacts is switched.
The polarity of the contacts changes in
phase with the polarity of the emf -- the two
changes essentially cancel each other out,
and the emf remains always positive.
The emf still varies sinusoidally during each
half cycle, but every half cycle is a positive
emf.

Motors
A motor is basically a generator running in reverse. A
current is passed through the coil, producing a torque
and causing the coil to rotate in the magnetic field. Once
turning, the coil of the motor generates a back emf, just
as does the coil of a generator. The back emf cancels
some of the applied emf, and limits the current through
the coil.

Motors and Back emf
The phrase back emf is used
for an emf that tends to reduce
the applied current
When a motor is turned on,
there is no back emf initially
The current is very large
because it is limited only by
the resistance of the coil

Example: coil in magnetic field
A coil of area 0.10 m² is rotating at 60 rev/s with its axis of rotation
perpendicular to a 0.20T magnetic field. (a) If there are 1000 turns on
the coil, what is the maximum voltage induced in the coil? (b) When the
maximum induced voltage occurs, what is the orientation of the coil
with respect to the magnetic field?

20.7 Self-inductance
When a current flows through a loop, the magnetic field
created by that current has a magnetic flux through the
area of the loop.
If the current changes, the magnetic field changes, and
so the flux changes giving rise to an induced emf. This
phenomenon is called self-induction because it si the
loop's own current, and not an external one, that gives
rise to the induced emf.

The magnetic flux is proportional to the magnetic field,
which is proportional to the current in the circuit
Thus, the self-induced EMF must be proportional to the
time rate of change of the current

20.9 Energy stored in a magnetic field
The battery in any circuit that contains a coil has to do
work to produce a current
Similar to the capacitor, any coil (or inductor) would store
potential energy
