  • Magnetic flux:-
    Electromagnetic Induction Class 12 Notes Physics Chapter 6
    Magnetic flux lined with the surface is defined as the product of area and component of B perpendicular that area.
    Electromagnetic Induction Class 12 Notes Physics Chapter 6and
    ϕB = µnAH
    Here, µ is the permeability of the medium, n is the number of turns, A is the area and His the magnetic field intensity.
    (a) When θ = 90º, cosθ = 0. So, ϕB = 0
    This signifies, no magnetic flux is linked with surface when the field is parallel to the surface.
    (b) When θ = 0º, cosθ = 1. So,(ϕB)max = 1
    This signifies, magnetic flux linked with a surface is maximum when area is held perpendicular to the direction of field.
  • Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction:-
    (a) Whenever magnetic flux linked with a circuit changes, an e.m.f is induced in it.
    (b) The induced e.m.f exists in the circuit so long as the change in magntic flux linked with it continues.
    (c) The induced e.m.f is directly proportional to the negative rate of change of magnetic flux linked with the circuit.
    So, E = -dϕB/dt
    Negative sign is due to the direction of induced e.m.f.

FAQs on Electromagnetic Induction Class 12 Notes Physics Chapter 6

1. What is electromagnetic induction?
Ans. Electromagnetic induction is the process where a changing magnetic field produces an electric current in a conductor. This phenomenon was discovered by Michael Faraday in the 19th century and is the basis for the operation of electric generators and transformers.
2. How does electromagnetic induction work?
Ans. Electromagnetic induction works on the principle that a changing magnetic field induces an electric current in a nearby conductor. When a conductor is placed in a changing magnetic field, the magnetic field lines cut across the conductor, creating a voltage difference and causing electric current to flow.
3. What is alternating current (AC)?
Ans. Alternating current (AC) is an electric current that regularly changes direction. It flows first in one direction and then reverses its direction periodically. AC is the type of current used in most residential and commercial electrical systems, as it is more efficient for long-distance transmission.
4. How is alternating current generated?
Ans. Alternating current is generated using an electric generator, which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The generator consists of a rotating magnet (rotor) and a stationary coil of wire (stator). As the magnet rotates, it creates a changing magnetic field that induces an alternating current in the coil.
5. What is the difference between direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC)?
Ans. The main difference between direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) is the direction of the flow of electric charge. In DC, the electric charge flows in one direction only, while in AC, the direction of the charge reverses periodically. DC is commonly used in batteries and electronic devices, while AC is used for power distribution in electrical grids.
