Motional emf from Lorentz Force. The emf induced across the ends of a conductor due to its motion in a magnetic field is called motional emf. It is produced due to the magnetic Lorentz force acting on the free electrons of the conductor. For a circuit shown in figure, if a conductor of length l moves with velocity V in a magnetic field B perpendicular to both its length and the direction of the magnetic filed, then all the induced parameters are possible in the circuit.

Read the para given below and answer the questions that follow:
Lenz’s law states that direction of induced current in a circuit is such that it opposes the change which produces it. Thus, if the magnetic flux linked with a closed circuit increases, the induced current flows in such a direction that a magnetic flux is created in the opposite direction of the original magnetic flux. If the magnetic flux linked with the closed circuit decreases, the induced current flows in such a direction so as to create a magnetic flux in the direction of the original flux.

Question. Which of the following statement is correct?
(a) The induced emf is not in the direction opposing the change in magnetic flux so as to oppose the cause which produces it.
(b) The relative motion between the coil and magnet produces change in magnetic flux.

Mutual inductance. Mutual inductance is the phenomenon of inducing emf in a coil, due to a change of current in the neighbouring coil. The amount of mutual inductance that links one coil to another depends very much on the relative positioning of two coils, their geometry and relative separation between them. Mutual inductance between the two coils increase μr times if the coils are wound over an iron core of relative permeability μr.

Eddy Current and their effects. Currents can be induced not only in conducting coils, but also in conducting sheets or blocks. Current is induced in solid metallic masses when the magnetic flux threading through them changes. Such current flow in the form of irregularly shaped loops throughout the body of the metal. These current look like eddies or whirlpools in water so they are known as eddy current. Eddy current have both undesirable effects and practically useful application. For example it causes unnecessary heating and wastage of power in electric motors, dynamos and in the cores of transformers.

Self Induction. When a current I flows through a coil, flux linked with it is φ = LI, where L is a constant known as self inductance of the coil.

Any charge in current sets up an induced emf in the coil. Thus, self inductance of a coil is the induced emf set up in it when the current passing through it changes at the unit rate. It is a measure of the opposition to the growth or the decay of current flowing through the coil. Also, value of self inductance depends on the number of turns in the solenoid, its area of cross-section and the permeability of its core material
