23.9 Inductance  (Page 4/10)

 Page 4 / 10

Section summary

• Inductance is the property of a device that tells how effectively it induces an emf in another device.
• Mutual inductance is the effect of two devices in inducing emfs in each other.
• A change in current $\Delta {I}_{1}/\Delta t$ in one induces an emf ${\text{emf}}_{2}$ in the second:
${\text{emf}}_{2}=-M\frac{\Delta {I}_{1}}{\Delta t}\text{,}$
where $M$ is defined to be the mutual inductance between the two devices, and the minus sign is due to Lenz’s law.
• Symmetrically, a change in current $\Delta {I}_{2}/\Delta t$ through the second device induces an emf ${\text{emf}}_{1}$ in the first:
${\text{emf}}_{1}=-M\frac{\Delta {I}_{2}}{\Delta t}\text{,}$
where $M$ is the same mutual inductance as in the reverse process.
• Current changes in a device induce an emf in the device itself.
• Self-inductance is the effect of the device inducing emf in itself.
• The device is called an inductor, and the emf induced in it by a change in current through it is
$\text{emf}=-L\frac{\Delta I}{\Delta t}\text{,}$
where $L$ is the self-inductance of the inductor, and $\Delta I/\Delta t$ is the rate of change of current through it. The minus sign indicates that emf opposes the change in current, as required by Lenz’s law.
• The unit of self- and mutual inductance is the henry (H), where $1 H=1 \Omega \cdot \text{s}$ .
• The self-inductance $L$ of an inductor is proportional to how much flux changes with current. For an $N$ -turn inductor,
$L=N\frac{\Delta \Phi }{\Delta I}\text{.}$
• The self-inductance of a solenoid is
$L=\frac{{\mu }_{0}{N}^{2}A}{\ell }\text{(solenoid),}$
where $N$ is its number of turns in the solenoid, $A$ is its cross-sectional area, $\ell$ is its length, and ${\text{μ}}_{0}=4\pi ×{\text{10}}^{\text{−7}}\phantom{\rule{0.25em}{0ex}}\text{T}\cdot \text{m/A}\phantom{\rule{0.10em}{0ex}}$ is the permeability of free space.
• The energy stored in an inductor ${E}_{\text{ind}}$ is
${E}_{\text{ind}}=\frac{1}{2}{\text{LI}}^{2}\text{.}$

Conceptual questions

How would you place two identical flat coils in contact so that they had the greatest mutual inductance? The least?

How would you shape a given length of wire to give it the greatest self-inductance? The least?

Verify, as was concluded without proof in [link] , that units of $\text{T}\cdot {\text{m}}^{2}/A=\Omega \cdot \text{s}=\text{H}$ .

Problems&Exercises

A weather vane is some sort of directional arrow parallel to the ground that may rotate freely in a horizontal plane. A typical weather vane has a large cross-sectional area perpendicular to the direction the arrow is pointing, like a “One Way” street sign. The purpose of the weather vane is to indicate the direction of the wind. As wind blows pa
