 AIM
To find how an inductor is charged in an electrical circuit.

APPARATUS
1. Two bulbs
2. Inductor
3. Resistor
4. Battery
5. Key
6. Connecting Wires

INTRODUCTION
A coil or solenoid made from thick wire has negligible
resistance but a considerable self inductance. It is called as
"Inductor". Symbols the self EMF in inductor opposes the change in
current that induced in it. This is in accordance with the LENZ LAWS.

THEORY
When an inductor carries a current, a magnetic energy is stored in it.
As the current increaser, magnetic field increases in inductor. Part of

3
the work done by battery during the process is started in inductor as
magnetic field energy and the rest appears as thermal energy in
resistor. After Sufficient time, the current and magnetic field
becomes constant, the further work done by battery appears only as
thermal energy. When two bulbs (b1) and (b2) are connected in
parallel, one with resistor, initially, (b2) glows brighter and (b1) glows
dimmer, but after a particular time, both become equally bright.

 OBSERVATION
When switch S is closed, bulb (B2) glows brighter than (B1) but
afterwards, both becomes equally brighter.

After closing the switch for sufficient time, if the switch is

opened, both bulbs keep glowing due to stored magnetic field energy
in energy in inductor. But, now this brightness will keep decreasing.

RESULT
Hence it can be seen that current in inductor part of circuit

grows with time till the equilibrium is established and magnetic

energy is stored in the inductor and after disconnecting the battery,

the magnetic energy acts as an EMF source and provides current to

to the circuit this current decays with time.

 AIM
To demonstrate that when a bar magnet is moved inside and
outside of the coil, a current is induced in it.

APPARATUS
1. A bar Magnet
2. Coil (about 250 turns)
3. A Galvanometer
4. Connecting Wires

INTRODUCTION
The phenomenon of producing electric current in a coil by
moving a bar magnet in and out of the coil is called as
"electromagnetic Induction". The current so produced is called as
induced current. The EMF so produced is called as induced emf.

THEORY
Induced current is developed when there is change magnetic
flux. Negative deflection in galvanometer represent opposite
direction of current but its magnitude is never (-) ve. There must be
change in magnetic flux. Direction of induced current depends on.
1. Direction of Magnetic Flux.
2. Direction of motion.

 WORKING
• Set a circuit as shown on previous page.
• Move the magnet inside the coil, the galvanometer shows
deflection in any direction.

RESULT
The induced current is produced in the coil as long as there is

relative motion between coil and the magnet. This demonstration is

important for studying phenomenon of electro magnetic induction i.e.

generation of electric current by variation of magnetic flux inside coil.
