(c) Obtain expression for the magnetic energy stored in a solenoid in terms of the magnetic field B, area A and length l of the solenoid through which a current i is passed.
(a)
Faraday's first law of electromagnetic induction:
Whenever a conductor is placed in a changing magnetic field, an electromagnetic force is induced in it (which is called as induced emf). If the conductor is closed the current is induced in it, which is called induced current.
Faraday's second law of electromagnetic induction:
The magnitude of induced electromotive force in a circuit is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux linked with the coil.
Mathematically induced emf is,
(b)
Here the length of the conductor is 'P' which is moving right angle to the magnetic field 'B' with the uniform speed v.
In the figure, the conductor PQ is free to move.
Consider the rectangular loop PQRS. The magnetic flux through the loop is Blx.
That is where x is length of RQ
When the conductor moves x is varying. So due to the rate of change of magnetic flux an emf is induced in it.
According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction
This induced emf Blv is motional emf.
(c) We know that
Induced emf .......(1)
where L = self inductance
I = current
The rate of work needed in an electric circuit is
............(2)
Substituting (1) in (2) we get
we know that
By integrating we get
For a solenoid of area A and length l, the magnetic field due to the current flowing through is
Total flux
Self-inductance
Therefore energy stored
