Transformer: Valuable Application ofFaraday’s Law
Key insight: iron core makes flux p through primary coils on left equal to flux s through secondary coils on right. Therefore:

Worked Transformer Example
A transformer for home use of a portable radio reduces 120 V ac to 9.0 V ac. The secondary coil contains 30 turns and the radio draws 400 mA. Calculate: a. the number of turns in the primary. b. the current in the primary. c. the power consumed.

Why Transformers Are Useful
Worked Example: Power LinesAn average of 120 kW of electric power is sent to a small town from a power plant 10 km away. The transmission lines have a total resistance of 0.40 . Calculate the power loss if the power is transmitted at (a) 240 V and (b) 24,000 V.

Lenz’s Law (1833): How to Deduce The Minus Sign in Faraday’s Law
Changing magnetic flux in a coil causes an induced current toflow such that the new magnetic field created by the induced current opposes the change in flux.
How to use Lenz’s law to get direction of induced current:
1. Determine whether number of flux lines of some orientation through given area is increasing or decreasing.
2. Use right hand rule to choose direction of current in circuit that decreases or increases the number of flux lines in given direction, opposing trend of step 1.
Note: Lenz’s law is the conservation of energy in disguise. If current went wrong way, could create energy for free.

Examples of Lenz’s Law
Will work these out on the white board: 1. Which way does induced current flow?2. What is direction of force acting on loop?
PRS Question
If magnetic field strength |B| increases at constant rate with same direction, 1. bar will move to right. 2. bar will move to left. 3. bar will not move at all.
Nothing Gold Can Stay By Robert Frost
Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.
