1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,765 - [Voiceover] In other videos we talk about 2 00:00:01,765 --> 00:00:04,409 how a current flowing through a wire 3 00:00:04,409 --> 00:00:07,257 can induce a magnetic field. 4 00:00:07,257 --> 00:00:09,186 And we're going to talk about in this video 5 00:00:09,186 --> 00:00:10,974 is how we can go the other way. 6 00:00:10,974 --> 00:00:13,134 How a change in a magnetic field 7 00:00:13,134 --> 00:00:15,594 can affect or induce a current 8 00:00:15,594 --> 00:00:18,010 in a loop of wire. 9 00:00:18,010 --> 00:00:20,693 So we're gonna be going from a change, 10 00:00:20,693 --> 00:00:23,085 change in and actually we're gonna 11 00:00:23,085 --> 00:00:25,239 focus on magnetic flux. 12 00:00:27,268 --> 00:00:29,946 Magnetic flux through a loop. 13 00:00:31,924 --> 00:00:33,944 Through a loop. 14 00:00:33,944 --> 00:00:35,385 And we're going to see how this 15 00:00:35,385 --> 00:00:38,838 actually induces a current in that loop. 16 00:00:38,838 --> 00:00:43,022 So it induces a current. 17 00:00:43,022 --> 00:00:44,550 Induced current. 18 00:00:45,368 --> 00:00:46,716 So this right over here, 19 00:00:46,716 --> 00:00:49,282 and this is my attempt at drawing a magnetic field, 20 00:00:49,282 --> 00:00:51,103 and these are the magnetic field lines. 21 00:00:51,103 --> 00:00:52,292 They don't look like lines because 22 00:00:52,292 --> 00:00:54,008 they're all popping out of the screen. 23 00:00:54,008 --> 00:00:56,840 They're moving towards you, towards the viewer, 24 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,440 so you can view these as the tips of the arrow. 25 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,203 And there's different ways of showing magnetic fields. 26 00:01:02,203 --> 00:01:04,388 You could show magnetic field lines like this. 27 00:01:04,388 --> 00:01:05,968 You could also use vectors. 28 00:01:05,968 --> 00:01:07,776 And when you're using field lines, 29 00:01:07,776 --> 00:01:09,564 it's the density of the field lines 30 00:01:09,564 --> 00:01:11,771 tell you how strong the magnetic field is. 31 00:01:11,771 --> 00:01:14,047 So if you go to the right here, they are less dense. 32 00:01:14,047 --> 00:01:16,251 And so the magnetic field is less strong 33 00:01:16,251 --> 00:01:17,971 on the right-hand side over here 34 00:01:17,971 --> 00:01:20,291 than they are on the left-hand side, 35 00:01:20,291 --> 00:01:23,143 or at least that's what I'm trying to depict. 36 00:01:23,143 --> 00:01:24,046 Now if we did it with vectors, 37 00:01:24,046 --> 00:01:25,791 we would have a bigger arrows pointing out 38 00:01:25,791 --> 00:01:28,274 over here than we would over there. 39 00:01:28,274 --> 00:01:30,505 But now let's do a loop of, 40 00:01:30,505 --> 00:01:32,085 let's do a loop of wire. 41 00:01:32,085 --> 00:01:34,606 So let me draw a loop of wire here. 42 00:01:34,606 --> 00:01:37,954 So let's say I have a loop of wire that is, 43 00:01:37,954 --> 00:01:39,967 so this is my loop of wire. 44 00:01:41,321 --> 00:01:44,323 My loop of wire. 45 00:01:44,323 --> 00:01:46,125 So if I just throw that loop of wire, 46 00:01:46,125 --> 00:01:48,425 and it it's just stationary, it's in this magnetic field, 47 00:01:48,425 --> 00:01:49,913 and the magnetic field isn't changing, 48 00:01:49,913 --> 00:01:53,489 I do have some flux going through the I guess 49 00:01:53,489 --> 00:01:55,392 you could say the surface defined by this wire, 50 00:01:55,392 --> 00:01:57,804 and if you're unfamiliar with the term magnetic flux, 51 00:01:57,804 --> 00:02:00,568 I encourage you to watch the video on magnetic flux. 52 00:02:00,568 --> 00:02:02,428 But if I just have this wire stationary 53 00:02:02,428 --> 00:02:05,816 in the magnetic field nothing is going to happen. 54 00:02:05,816 --> 00:02:08,432 But I will be able to induce a current 55 00:02:08,432 --> 00:02:11,186 if I change the magnetic flux 56 00:02:11,186 --> 00:02:14,574 going through this surface in some way. 57 00:02:14,574 --> 00:02:16,829 So for example, right now the magnetic field 58 00:02:16,829 --> 00:02:19,589 is pointing out of the screen. 59 00:02:19,589 --> 00:02:21,309 If I were to make it even stronger 60 00:02:21,309 --> 00:02:24,977 than the direction pointing out of the screen, 61 00:02:24,977 --> 00:02:28,383 so I guess one way to think about it is 62 00:02:28,383 --> 00:02:30,441 if the change in the magnetic field, 63 00:02:30,441 --> 00:02:32,041 the change in the flux were to get 64 00:02:32,041 --> 00:02:34,829 even stronger in the outward direction, 65 00:02:34,829 --> 00:02:36,081 so I don't know a good way to, 66 00:02:36,081 --> 00:02:38,497 so it's gonna get even stronger in the outer direction, 67 00:02:38,497 --> 00:02:39,936 I'll draw a big arrow there, 68 00:02:39,936 --> 00:02:41,912 I guess you could say that these things 69 00:02:41,912 --> 00:02:44,904 became even denser in this outward direction, 70 00:02:44,904 --> 00:02:47,925 it is actually going to induce a current. 71 00:02:47,925 --> 00:02:49,875 And the current that it will induce 72 00:02:51,536 --> 00:02:53,145 is going to go in that direction. 73 00:02:53,145 --> 00:02:55,072 And now let me draw a little bit clearer. 74 00:02:55,072 --> 00:02:57,557 The current is going to go in that direction. 75 00:02:57,557 --> 00:03:01,481 It's going to go in a clockwise direction around this. 76 00:03:01,481 --> 00:03:03,104 And that is because that change 77 00:03:03,104 --> 00:03:06,521 in the magnetic flux that induces a voltage, 78 00:03:06,521 --> 00:03:08,264 an electro mode of force 79 00:03:08,264 --> 00:03:10,495 that causes this current to flow, 80 00:03:13,001 --> 00:03:15,861 And there's other ways to change the magnetic flux. 81 00:03:16,961 --> 00:03:19,373 If I were to lessen the magnetic field 82 00:03:19,373 --> 00:03:20,977 in the outward direction or another way, 83 00:03:20,977 --> 00:03:23,601 if the change in the magnetic field were inwards, 84 00:03:23,601 --> 00:03:25,621 then the current would go the other direction. 85 00:03:25,621 --> 00:03:28,439 But the key here is when I change the flux 86 00:03:29,399 --> 00:03:32,314 through this surface defined by this wire, 87 00:03:32,314 --> 00:03:34,241 it's going to induce a current. 88 00:03:34,241 --> 00:03:36,433 The current isn't going to be there 89 00:03:36,433 --> 00:03:37,637 if the magnetic field is stationary 90 00:03:37,637 --> 00:03:41,029 and I'm not changing this loop in any way, 91 00:03:41,029 --> 00:03:43,605 but as soon as I change the flux in some way, 92 00:03:43,605 --> 00:03:45,673 I am going to induce a current. 93 00:03:45,673 --> 00:03:48,713 I could also, instead of changing the field, 94 00:03:50,623 --> 00:03:52,825 I could actually move my coil, 95 00:03:52,825 --> 00:03:53,960 I could move it that way. 96 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,216 And if I were to move it that way, 97 00:03:55,216 --> 00:03:58,653 the flux going through this surface, 98 00:03:58,653 --> 00:04:01,556 or I guess coming out of this surface, will increase. 99 00:04:01,556 --> 00:04:02,972 Because if I move this to the left, 100 00:04:02,972 --> 00:04:06,452 the magnetic field is denser, I guess it's stronger, 101 00:04:06,452 --> 00:04:08,984 so there will more flux through this area here. 102 00:04:08,984 --> 00:04:10,174 So if you move it that way, 103 00:04:10,174 --> 00:04:12,054 you also would have a current like this. 104 00:04:12,054 --> 00:04:13,538 Now if you moved it the other way, 105 00:04:13,538 --> 00:04:16,026 if it was on the left-hand side and you moved it that way, 106 00:04:16,026 --> 00:04:17,718 it would also induce a current, 107 00:04:17,718 --> 00:04:19,301 but now since the flux is lessening 108 00:04:19,301 --> 00:04:20,745 in the outward direction, 109 00:04:20,745 --> 00:04:23,045 the current would go in the other way. 110 00:04:23,045 --> 00:04:24,253 Now there's other ways to change the flux. 111 00:04:24,253 --> 00:04:26,294 You could actually change the area 112 00:04:26,294 --> 00:04:28,826 of this actual loop if somehow it was made 113 00:04:28,826 --> 00:04:32,804 out of some maybe stretchy wire somehow. 114 00:04:36,055 --> 00:04:38,555 If you had increased, let me draw it this way. 115 00:04:39,537 --> 00:04:42,689 If you were somehow able to stretch it, 116 00:04:45,391 --> 00:04:49,180 so it contains, so the actual area increases, 117 00:04:50,211 --> 00:04:51,531 if you were able to stretch it out 118 00:04:51,531 --> 00:04:53,134 so that the actual area increases, 119 00:04:53,134 --> 00:04:55,110 which would cause the flux in the out 120 00:04:55,110 --> 00:04:57,892 of the screen direction to increase even more, 121 00:04:59,882 --> 00:05:02,005 that also would induce the current. 122 00:05:02,005 --> 00:05:04,910 And so this whole idea of a change 123 00:05:04,910 --> 00:05:07,974 in magnetic flux inducing a current, 124 00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:10,066 this is the essence and we'll go deeper 125 00:05:10,066 --> 00:05:11,551 into it in future videos, 126 00:05:11,551 --> 00:05:15,217 this is the essence of Faraday's Law. 127 00:05:20,191 --> 00:05:21,125 Faraday's Law. 128 00:05:21,125 --> 00:05:23,585 And we'll quantify this more in future videos, 129 00:05:23,585 --> 00:05:25,139 but it's just the notion 130 00:05:25,139 --> 00:05:27,536 that if I have a loop of wire, 131 00:05:27,536 --> 00:05:29,579 and I have a changing magnetic flux 132 00:05:29,579 --> 00:05:31,391 through the loop of wire, 133 00:05:31,391 --> 00:05:34,908 that is going to induce a current in that wire.
