IB Physics - Electromagnetic Induction - Ep. 02: Basic Principle
EM induction finally explained in simple terms!
This second episode details the basic principle of EM induction: How to generate electricity by moving a conductor in a magnetic field.
Watch this video: if suddenly you were moved back in time thousands of years ago, you would know how to produce electricity: Take a piece of metal, move it around a magnet the right way and you’ve got yourself a battery!
The video explains what happens within the metallic bar when you move it in a magnetic field, and how this results in an emf across the bar. Then an example is shown where a bar is sliding on metallic rails, which are themselves connected to a load (Resistance or lamp bulb). This set up is an electric circuit where the battery is the moving bar!
We prove that the mechanical energy provided to move the bar is equal to the electrical energy dissipated in the load (Conservation of energy).
In the first episode:
https://youtu.be/N44pn9rYtbE, we gave a basic example of application of EM induction (The dynamo in a lamp), as well as the three basic principles to be understood in order to study EM induction in good conditions
_ The effect of a magnetic field on a moving charge (F= qvB),
_ The effect of an electric field on a charge located between two charged plates (F=qE),
_ The effect of a magnetic field on a wire carrying an electric current (F=ILB).
This course is based on the IB Physics HL program.
