Summary of "Induced EMF In Moving Conductor, Sliding Bar Generator - Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction"

Summary of Main Ideas and Concepts

The video explains the concept of induced electromotive force (EMF) in a moving conductor using Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction, demonstrated through a sliding bar generator setup.

Key Concepts and Methodology

1. Setup Description

A metal rod (length = 0.5 m) slides to the right at 2 m/s.
The rod moves in a uniform magnetic field of 5 Tesla.
The metal rails form a circuit connected to a 10-ohm resistor.

2. Induced EMF Calculation

Faraday’s Law states:

[ \text{Induced emf} = -N \frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t} ]

where magnetic flux (\Phi = B \times A \times \cos \theta).

The magnetic field (B) is constant and parallel to the normal of the loop’s face, so (\cos \theta = 1).
The change in magnetic flux (\Delta \Phi) is due to the change in the enclosed area (A), which increases as the rod moves.
Area change:

[ \Delta A = l \times \Delta x = l \times v \times \Delta t ]

Canceling (\Delta t), the induced emf becomes:

[ \text{emf} = B \times l \times v ]

Substituting values:

[ 5 \, T \times 0.5 \, m \times 2 \, m/s = 5 \, V ]

3. Current in the Circuit

Using Ohm’s Law:

[ I = \frac{\text{emf}}{R} = \frac{5 \, V}{10 \, \Omega} = 0.5 \, A ]

4. Electric Field in the Rod

Electric field (E) is voltage per unit length:

[ E = \frac{\text{emf}}{l} = \frac{5 \, V}{0.5 \, m} = 10 \, V/m ]

5. Energy Dissipated by the Resistor

Energy dissipated over time (t):

[ E = P \times t = V \times I \times t ]

For 5 seconds:

[ 5 \, V \times 0.5 \, A \times 5 \, s = 12.5 \, J ]

6. Force Required to Pull the Rod

Work done by force equals energy dissipated:

[ W = F \times d = 12.5 \, J ]

Displacement:

[ d = v \times t = 2 \, m/s \times 5 \, s = 10 \, m ]

Force:

[ F = \frac{W}{d} = \frac{12.5 \, J}{10 \, m} = 1.25 \, N ]

Alternatively, force can be derived from magnetic force on the wire:

[ F = I \times l \times B = 0.5 \, A \times 0.5 \, m \times 5 \, T = 1.25 \, N ]

This force opposes the magnetic force produced by the current in the conductor; the applied force must at least match this to keep the rod moving.

Step-by-Step Methodology Summary

Calculate induced emf using:

[ \text{emf} = B l v ]

Calculate current using:

[ I = \frac{\text{emf}}{R} ]

Calculate electric field in the rod using:

[ E = \frac{\text{emf}}{l} ]

Calculate energy dissipated in resistor over time using:

[ E = V I t ]

Calculate displacement:

[ d = v t ]

Calculate force needed to pull the rod either by:
- Work-energy relation:
[ F = \frac{W}{d} ]
- Magnetic force formula:
[ F = I l B ]
