Inductance

Inductor and Inductance

Capacitor: store electric energyInductor: store magnetic energy

L =NΦB

I: Inductance

Unit: H (henry)

1H =1Tm2 / A

Measure how effective it is at trapping magnetic energy

Inductance of a solenoid

L =NΦB

I

l

n : turns per unit length, l : length, A: area

What is ΦB?

ΦB = BA = μ 0nIA

N = nl

⇒ L =(nl)(μ 0nIA)

I= μ 0n

2Al

or L = μ 0N2A / l

Self-Induction

L =NΦB

I⇔ NΦB =LI

ξL =−dNΦB

dt=−L

dIdt

Always resists the change in current

The sign of ξL

If ξL is positive, then the induced emf points in the same direction as the current.

If ξL is negative, then the induced emf points in the opposite direction as the current.

RL Circuits (“charging”)

ξ −IR − LdI

dt= 0

⇔ I =ξ

R(1− exp(−Rt / L))

Inductive time constant: τ L =L

R

⇒ I =ξ

R(1− exp(−t / τ L ))

Example

ξL = −LdI

dt= −

Lξ

τ LRexp(−t / τ L )

= −Lξ

(L / R)Rexp(−t / τ L ) = −ξ exp(−t / τ L )

ξL (t = 0s) = −ξ

It complete stops the current at t = 0s.

ξL (t → ∞) = 0

It acts just like a usual piece of conductor at equilibrium.

I =ξR(1−exp(−t / τ L ))

Find ξL at time t=0s and ∞.

“Discharging”

ξ −IR − LdI

dt= 0 ("charging", before)

−IR − LdI

dt= 0 ("discharging", here)

⇔ I = I0 exp(−Rt / L)

Inductive time constant: τ L =L

R⇒ I = I0 exp(−t / τ L )

Define "natural angular frequency":

, then we have:

This is the same equation as all other simple harmonic oscillators

Solutiond 2q

⇒ q = qp cos(ωt +φ) where qp , φ: constant

I =dqdt

⇒ I =−ωqpsin(ωt+φ)

qp and φ are determined by initial conditions.

In most cases below, we will assum φ =0.

MasteringPhysics

In HW 30, the question “Oscillations in an LC circuit” Part C, use instead:

€

I = −dq

dt

Reason: They wanted you to look at the magnitude of the current only, and without the minus sign I would have been negative.
