What happens when the switch is first closed?
Initially, there is no current in the circuit.
We know the final current in thiscircuit (from Ohm’s Law) will be I = V / R
So, for some period of time, the current ischanging from 0 to V / R.

As a result of the changing current, themagnetic field that the current createschanges as well.
That magnetic field passes through the planeof this circuit.
There is a magnetic flux through the circuit.
The magnetic flux is changing as thecurrent increases.
An EMF is induced in the circuit as thecurrent increases!
And by Lenz’s Law, the induced EMFcreates a current which opposes thechanges in the magnetic flux.

Induced emf
The very fact that the circuit is a closedloop made of conducting material hasresulted in an induced EMF in the circuitwhich opposes the current!
Of course, once the current attains its finalvalue, the induced EMF = 0 because themagnetic field is no longer changing.

For the circuits we deal with in class, wegenerally ignore the self-inductance of thecircuit itself.
However, you might observe its effect on the circuits you construct in the laboratory.
When you first put voltageacross the circuit, the currentshould ramp up to its finalvalue...
We will, however, pay attention to theself-inductance of a solenoid.
When present as a circuit element, we callsolenoids INDUCTORS.

What is an inductor (solenoid)?
A bunch of current loops connected together!
So a magnetic flux exists through the inductor.
As was the case with the electrical circuit of thelast example, an induced EMF will be generatedacross the inductor when the current throughthe inductor changes.
Again, by Lenz’s Law, the induced EMF will generate a current to oppose the changing magnetic flux through the inductor.
What is the magnetic flux through an inductorof length l with N turns and a current I flowing through it?

Inductors set up a back-EMF in a circuit asthe current in the circuit changes. Themagnitude of that EMF is given by
As a circuit element, therefore, inductorsaffect the rate at which the current in acircuit changes.
In some respects, their effect on a circuitis analogous to the role of a capacitor.

Recall, capacitors are circuit elements whichstore energy in an electric field between apositively charged plate and a negativelycharged plate.
Inductors store energy in a magnetic field.
The amount of energy stored in the magneticfield of an inductor is given by

What happens to the charges in this conducting bar as it moves with a constant velocity v through a uniform magnetic field?
The positive charges within the conductor feela magnetic force upwards.
The negative charges feel a downwards force.
