If we take the solenoid assumption for the coil:EEL+–0B nIm=When this magnetic field flux changes, it induces an emf, EL, called self-induction:( ) ( )020BLd NAB d NA nId dI dIn V Ldt dt dt dt dtmFm=- =- =- =- �-Eor:LdILdt�-EThis defines the inductance L, which is constant related only to the coil. The self-induced emf is generated by current flowing though a coil. According to Lenz Law, the emf generated inside this coil is always opposing the change of the current which is delivered by the original emf.For a solenoid:20L n Vm=Wheren: # of turns per unit length.N: # of turns in length l.A: cross section areaV: Volume for length l.InductorWe used a coil and the solenoid assumption to introduce the inductance. But the definition holds for all types of inductance, including a straight wire. Any conductor has capacitance and inductance. But as in the capacitor case, an inductor is a device made to have a sizable inductance. LLdIdt�-EAn inductor is made of a coil. The symbol is Once the coil is made, its inductance L is defined. The self-induced emf over this inductor under a changing current I is given by: LdILdt=-EUnit for InductanceThe SI unit for inductance is the henry (H) Named for Joseph Henry: 1797 – 1878American physicistFirst director of the SmithsonianImproved design of electromagnetConstructed one of the first motorsDiscovered self-inductanceAsV1H1Discussion about Some TerminologyUse emf and current when they are caused by batteries or other sourcesUse induced emf and induced current when they are caused by changing magnetic fieldsWhen dealing with problems in electromagnetism, it is important to distinguish between the two situationsExample: Inductance of a coaxial cable 2ln2boBaoμ IB dA drπrμ Ibπ aF = =� �=� �� �� �llln2oBμbLIπ aF� �= =� �� �lBLddILdt dtF=- =-EStart from the definitionWe have, or B Bd LdI LIF F= =So the inductance isPut inductor L to use: the RL CircuitAn RL circuit contains a resistor R and an inductor L. There are two cases as in the RC circuit: charging and discharging. The difference is that here one charges with current, not charge.Charging:When S2 is connected to position a and when switch S1 is closed (at time t = 0), the current begins to increaseDischarging: When S2 is connected to position b .PLAYACTIVE FIGURERL Circuit, chargingApplying Kirchhoff’s loop rule to the circuit in the clockwise direction gives0d Iε I R Ldt- - =( ) ( )τ- -= - � -1 1Rt L tε εI e eR RHere because the current is increasing, the induced emf has a direction that should oppose this increase.τ �LRSolve for the current I, with initial condition that I(t=0) = 0, we findWhere the time constant is defined as:RL Circuit, dischargingWhen switch S2 is moved to position b, the original current disappears.
