Lectures 17&18: InductanceLearning Objectives

• To understand and to be able to calculate Self-Inductance

• To be able to obtain an expression for the Energy Stored by an Inductor

• To understand and to be able to calculate Mutual-Inductance

Self InductanceWhen current in the circuit changes, the magnetic flux changes also, and a self-induced voltage appears in the circuit. This is a direct consequence of electromagnetic induction dealt with in the previous two lectures.

(a) Definition used to find L Suppose a current I in a coil of N turns causes a flux B to thread each turn

NφB ∝ IThe self-inductance L is defined by the equation

NφB = LI

Calculation of Self-Inductance

Example: the Self-Inductance of a Solenoid

B = μ0nI

NΦB = πR2Bnl = πR2μ0n2Il

L =NΦB

I= μ0n

•If a current I is established through each of the N windings of an inductor, a magnetic flux B links those windings. The inductance L of the inductor is:

L =NφBI

•A changing current I in a coil induces a voltage, where:

dt

dIL−=ε

Review and Summary

• An inductor with inductance L carrying current I has potential energy U:

• This potential energy is associated with the magnetic field of the inductor. In a vacuum, the magnetic energy per unit volume is 0
