Inductance
Self-Inductance
– A time-varying current in a circuit produces an
induced emf opposing the emf that initially set up the
time varying current.
• Basis of the electrical circuit element called an inductor
– Energy is stored in the magnetic field of an inductor.
– There is an energy density associated with the
magnetic field.
Mutual Inductance
– An emf is induced in a coil as a result of a changing
magnetic flux produced by a second coil.
• Circuits may contain inductors as well as resistors
and capacitors.

Some Terminology
• Use the terms emf and current when they
are caused by batteries or other sources.
• Use the terms induced emf and induced
current when they are caused by changing
magnetic fields.
• In problems in electromagnetism, it is
important to distinguish between the two
situations.

Self-Inductance
• Consider the circuit in the figure.
• When the switch is closed, the
current does not immediately reach
its maximum value.
• Faraday’s Law of Induction can
be used to describe this.
• As the current increases with
time, the magnetic flux through
the circuit loop due to this current
also increases with time.
This increasing flux creates
an induced emf in the circuit.

• The direction of the induced emf is such that it
would cause an induced current in the loop which
would establish a magnetic field opposing the
change in the original magnetic field.
Lenz’s Law at work!
• The direction of the induced emf is opposite the
direction of the emf of the battery.
• This results in a gradual increase in the current to its
final equilibrium value.
This effect is called self-inductance.
– Because the changing flux through the circuit & the
resultant induced emf arise from the circuit itself.
• The emf εL is called a self-induced emf.

Self-Inductance
• An induced emf is always proportional to the
time rate of change of the current.
– By Faraday’s Law, the induced emf is
proportional to the flux, which is proportional to the
field and the field is proportional to the current.
– So, we can write:
dI
εL L
dt
• L is a constant of proportionality called the (self)
inductance of the coil.
– It depends on the geometry of the coil and other
physical characteristics.

Self-Inductance
• An important aspect of Faraday’s Law is:
A changing current in a coil will
induce an emf in itself:
Note: This is
the same as
L. Sorry!
L is called the self-inductance:

Joseph Henry
1797 – 1878
• American physicist.
• First director of the Smithsonian.
• First president of the Academy
of Natural Science.
• Improved design of Electromagnets.
• Constructed one of the first motors.
• Discovered self-inductance.
• Didn’t publish his results.
The SI unit of inductance, the Henry
is named in his honor.

• Physically, the inductance is a measure
of the opposition to a change in current.

Inductance of a Solenoid
• Assume a uniformly wound solenoid with N turns
& length ℓ. Assume that ℓ is much greater than the
solenoid radius.
• The flux through each turn of area A is
B BA μo n I A μo
N
IA
• The inductance is
N B μo N 2 A
L
μo n 2V

• This shows that L depends on the object’s geometry.

Conceptual Example
Direction of emf in inductor.
Current passes through a coil from left to right as shown.
(a) If the current is increasing with time, in which direction
is the induced emf? (b) If the current is decreasing in time,
what then is the direction of the induced emf?

LR Circuits
A circuit consisting of an
inductor and a resistor will
begin with most of the
voltage drop across the
inductor, as the current is
changing rapidly. With time,
the current will increase less
and less, until all the voltage
is across the resistor.

Example : An LR circuit.
At t = 0, a 12.0-V battery is
connected in series with a 220mH inductor and a total of 30-Ω
resistance, as shown. (a) What is
the current at t = 0? (b) What is
the time constant? (c) What is the
maximum current? (d) How long
will it take the current to reach
half its maximum possible value?
(e) At this instant, at what rate is
energy being delivered by the
battery, and (f) at what rate is
energy being stored in the
inductor’s magnetic field?

The sum of potential differences around the
loop gives
Integrating gives the current as a function of
time:

If the circuit is then shorted across the battery,
the current will gradually decay away:

Mutual Inductance
• Mutual Inductance: A changing current in one
coil will induce a current in a second coil:
& vice versa. Note that the constant M, known
as the mutual inductance, is has the form:

of mutual
inductance.

Solenoid and coil.
A long thin solenoid of length l and crosssectional area A contains N1 closely packed turns
of wire. Wrapped around it is an insulated coil of
N2 turns. Assume all the flux from coil 1 (the
solenoid) passes through coil 2, and calculate the
mutual inductance.

Conceptual Example: Reversing the coils.
How would the previous Example change if
the coil with turns was inside the solenoid
rather than outside the solenoid?

Energy Stored in a Magnetic Field
Just as we saw that energy can be stored in an
electric field, energy can be stored in a
magnetic field as well, in an inductor, for
example.
Analysis shows that the energy density of the
field is given by

LC Circuits & Electromagnetic Oscillations
An LC circuit is a charged capacitor
shorted through an inductor.

Summing the potential drops around the
circuit gives a differential equation for Q:
This is the equation for simple harmonic
motion, and has solutions

Substituting shows that the equation can
only be true for all times if the
frequency is given by
The current is sinusoidal as well:

The charge and current are both
sinusoidal, but with different phases.

The total energy in the circuit is
constant; it oscillates between the
capacitor and the inductor:

Example: LC circuit.
A 1200-pF capacitor is fully charged by a
500-V dc power supply. It is disconnected
from the power supply and is connected,
at t = 0, to a 75-mH inductor. Determine:
(a) the initial charge on the capacitor; (b)
the maximum current; (c) the frequency f
and period T of oscillation; and (d) the
total energy oscillating in the system.
