energy.
Electric power is the rate of energy consumption in an
electrical circuit.

UNIT 2
2.1
Generally, a cell delivers a certain voltage that is a function of what chemical reactions are
taking place to generate the voltage. The purpose of an electric cell is to convert chemical energy into
electrical energy. To get increased voltage one must add cells in series. The primary difference between
a battery and a cell is a battery can be composed of a number of cells. A cell can be a battery. For
example, the 9-volt batteries have 6 individual cells inside them.
2.1.2
A simple cell comprises two dissimilar conductors (electrodes) in an electrolyte. Such a cell is
shown in Figure 1, comprising copper and zinc electrodes. An electric current is found to flow between
the electrodes. Other possible electrode pairs exist, including zinc-lead and zinc-iron. The electrode
potential (i.e. the p.d. measured between the electrodes) varies for each pair of metals. By knowing the
e.m.f. of each metal with respect to some standard electrode the e.m.f. of any pair of metals may be
determined.

If an electric pressure or voltage is applied across any material there is a tendency for
electrons to move in a particular direction. This movement of free electrons, known as drift,
constitutes an electric current flow. Thus current is the rate of movement of charge and is
measured in ampere.
The unit used to measure the quantity of electrical charge Q is called the coulomb C
(where 1 coulomb = 6.24 x 1018 electrons).
Generally, if I is the current in amperes and t the time in seconds during which the
current flows, then I x t represents the quantity of electrical charge in coulombs.

Superposition Theorem
The superposition theorem states:
In any network made up of linear resistances and containing more than one source of e.m.f, the
resultant current flowing in any branch is the algebraic sum of the currents that would flow in
that branch if each source was considered separately, all other sources being replaced at that
time by their respective internal resistances.

Capacitor Construction
Clearly, the larger the area of the plate the more charge can be accumulated and hence
the larger the capacitance. Also, note that as the distance d increases the Capacitance
decreases since the charge cannot be contained as 'densely' as before.
By applying a voltage to a capacitor and measuring the charge on the plates, the ratio of
the charge Q to the voltage V will give the capacitance value of the capacitor and is therefore
given as: C = Q/V this equation can also be re-arranged to give the more familiar formula for the
quantity of charge on the plates as: Q = C x V.

Mathematically, the capacitance of the device relates the voltage difference between
the plates and the charge accumulation associated with this voltage:
q(t)=CV(t)
equation (1)
Capacitors which obey the relationship of equation (1) are linear capacitors, since the
potential difference between the conductive surfaces is linearly related to the charge on the
surfaces. Note that the charges on the right and left plate of the capacitor in Figure 5 are equal
and opposite. Thus, if we increase the charge on one plate, the charge on the other plate must
decrease by the same amount. This is consistent with our previous assumption electrical circuit
elements cannot accumulate charge, and current entering one terminal of a capacitor must
leave the other terminal of the capacitor.
So, current is defined as the time rate of change of charge,

An inductor is usually constructed as a coil of conducting material, typically
copper wire, wrapped around a core either of air or ferrous material.
Core materials with higher permeability than air confine the magnetic field
closely to the inductor, thereby increasing the inductance. Inductors come in many
shapes. Most are constructed as enamel coated wire wrapped around a ferrite with wire
exposed on the outside, while some enclose the wire completely in ferrite and are called
shielded.

Electromagnetic induction
When a conductor is moved across a magnetic field so as to cut through the lines of
force (or flux, an electromotive force (e.m.f) is produced in the conductor. If the conductor
forms part of a closed circuit then the e.m.f produced causes an electric current to flow round
the circuit. Hence an e.m.f is induced in the conductor as a result of its movement across the
magnetic field. This effect is known a electromagnetic induction.

i)
An induced e.m.f is setup whenever the magnetic field linking that circuit

If the current direction is reversed, the direction of the lines of flux is also reversed. The
effect on both the iron filings and the compass needle disappears when the current is switched
off. The magnetic field is thus produced by the electric current. The magnetic flux produced has
the same properties as the flux produced by a permanent magnet. If the current is increased the
strength of the field increases and, as for the permanent magnet, the field strength decreases as
we move away from the current-carrying conductor.

Magnetic field is surrounding a conductor that carries current, thus the form of
magnetic field that surrounds a straight conductor is in concentric cylindrical (Figure 6(a)).
The direction of magnetic field flux depends on the direction of current that flows in the
conductor. Figure 6(b) shows the direction of flux, which is according to clock-wise when current
enters the conductor (sign as + at the center of conductor). Meanwhile, Figure 6(c) shows the
opposite case, where the direction of current is exit from the conductor (sign as , where it
will produce magnetic field flux according to anti-clockwise).

Solution
i.
A magnetic field set up by a long coil, or solenoid, is shown in Figure 7(a) and is seen to
be similar to that of a bar magnet. If the solenoid is wound on an iron bar, as shown in Figure
7(b), an even stronger magnetic field is produced, the iron becoming magnetized and behaving
like a permanent magnet.

The direction of the magnetic field produced by the current I in the solenoid may be
found by either of three methods:

Screw rule
States that If a normal right-hand thread screw is screwed along the conductor
in the direction of the current, the direction of rotation of the screw is in the
direction of the magnetic field.

Electromagnetic induction
7.6.1 Laws of electromagnetic induction
Faradays laws of electromagnetic induction state:
i.
An induced e.m.f. is set up whenever the magnetic field linking that circuit
changes.
ii.
The magnitude of the induced e.m.f. in any circuit is proportional to the rate of
change of the magnetic flux linking the circuit.
Lenzs law states:
The direction of an induced e.m.f. is always such that it tends to set up a current
opposing the motion or the change of flux responsible for inducing that e.m.f..

Figure 11
In a generator, conductors forming an electric circuit are made to move through
a magnetic field. By Faradays law an e.m.f. is induced in the conductors and thus a
source of e.m.f. is created. A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical
energy. The induced e.m.f. E set up between the ends of the conductor shown in Figure
12 is given by:
E = Blv Volts
where B, the flux density, is measured in teslas, l, the length of conductor in the
magnetic field, is measured in metres, and v, the conductor velocity, is measured in
metres per second.
Figure 12
If the conductor moves at an angle to the magnetic field (instead of at 900 as assumed
above) then
E = Blv sin Volt
0
Example 1
A conductor 300 mm long moves at a uniform speed of 4 m/s at right-angles to a uniform magnetic field
of flux density 1.25 T. Determine the current flowing in the conductor when
(a) its ends are open-circuited,
(b) its ends are connected to a load of 20 resistance.
Solution
When a conductor moves in a magnetic field it will have an e.m.f. induced in it but this e.m.f. can only
produce a current if there is a closed circuit.
Induced e.m.f. E = Blv =(1.25)(300/1000)(4) = 1.5 V

(b)
If the ends of the conductor are open circuited no current will flow even though 1.5 V has been
induced.
From Ohms law, I = E/R =1.5/20 = 0.075 A or 75 mA
Example 2
At what velocity must a conductor 75 mm long cut a magnetic field of flux density 0.6 T if an e.m.f. of 9 V
is to be induced in it? Assume the conductor, the field and the direction of
motion are mutually perpendicular.
Solution
Induced e.m.f. E = Blv, hence velocity v = E/Bl
Hence v = 9/(0.6)(75x10-3)=(9 x 103)/(0.6 x 75)= 200 m/s
Example 3
A conductor moves with a velocity of 15 m/s at an angle of (a) 90, (b) 60 and (c) 30 to a magnetic field
produced between two square-faced poles of side length 2 cm. If the flux
leaving a pole face is 5 Wb, find the magnitude of the induced e.m.f. in each case.
Solution
v = 15 m/s; length of conductor in magnetic field, l = 2 cm = 0.02 m;
A = 2 x 2 cm2 = 4 x 10-4 m2, = 5 x 10-6 Wb
