Great lectures. On a finer note, the E-field doesn't have to be zero inside an ideal conductor! As Feynman points out in his famous "Lectures on Physics" book Ch-22 , if the conductor is moving then you can have E-fields inside. He gives the example of a rotating coil in a magnetic field.The only requirement is that the total force is zero inside an ideal conductor. And the force is a sum of E-field and B-field components.

Prof. Lewin First and foremost, thanks for the physics education!! I would like to comment on your lecture on "RL CIRCUITS". I noticed that in the light-bulb experiment where it was shown that the light-bulb had great delay coming to full brightness when switched on through the huge inductor...that it was NOT shown by demo, the similar DELAY of the light-bulb going off. I just wanted to let you know that I have come up with a VERY SIMPLE modification of the circuit where the delays in BOTH directions are illustrated! ALSO--as mentioned in that lecture--I am VERY curious as to the construction of such a large inductor with this very low resistance.

And hence this lecture has demystified why impedances are complex for me. It all comes from the fact that inductors can produce lags in the current, which is rooted in Lenz's law! That rewrite of Kirchoff's voltage law into integral of Edl = -dphi/dt is an eye-opener. Amazing, thanks professor.

Professor Lewin, Can we conclude that as a result of the induced B field inside the solenoid (and it being zero outside) and the current passing through it, an induced Lorentz force acts in the outwards direction, everywhere on the solenoid wire? Thank you so so much for these lectures. They have been a true inspiration!

Why when in the 30:13 min you turned off the power energy of the bulbs both died at the same time, instead of having the one with the inductor a bit more time ON (as it is fighting against the change in the current from I_max to zero)? Thank you Sir :)

Prof. Lewin, I thought that the induced emf in a self inductor is always 90 degrees out of phase with the current through it. If so, how is it the case that the phase angle is a function of omega and L (not constant 90 degrees). Thank you :)

In principle you're absolutely right in pointing out that the KVL not holding for varying current. But don't we have to add the 'parasitic' self inductance of the circuit loop(L'), which we would have if we replace the coil with a straight (superconducting) wire, to the self inductance of the coil(L)? And that is, I think, even after moving the term involving L to the other side of the equation, makes the deviation from the conventional KVL argument.

@carultch

You do have the self-inductance of the loop as well, but it is most likely either negligible, or assumed embedded in the inductor. The conventional KVL method of solving these problems is mathematically correct, but physically inaccurate. It is similar to using pseudo-forces as shortcuts to solve mechanics problems. You can get the right answer, but with a method that doesn't reflect what is really happening.

Somewhere I have seen that you shared a list of recommended books but where is it now I am not able to find it out. Please share here.

If the magnitude of the self-induced emf of an inductor is equal to L*di/dt, then how can there be no "voltage drop" through the inductor and how can there be zero E field? I read the link in the description. All I could conclude from the article was that Faraday's law cannot tell us at what points the E field is zero or nonzero. The article simply states that E = 0 in an inductor. In the explanation of why that is so, I didn't see it mention E = 0 anywhere. It talked about nonuniform E fields and the production of E fields via charges (only when the resistance across the one-loop inductor was appreciably large and nonuniform). My book (University Physics, 12th edition), explains that there indeed is a "genuine potential difference between the terminals of the inductor, associated with conservative, electrostatic forces, despite the fact that the electric field associated with the magnetic induction effect is nonconservative" (bottom of page 1035). The question of whether there is an E field between the terminals of an inductor has made me interminably confused! I would greatly appreciate any help you could give! Thanks, Andrew

+Andrew Guo No E-field is allowed in any superconducting material as it would lead to an infinitely high current. Since E is zero everywhere in an "ideal" self inductor the integral through the self inductor of E.dl is zero (people used to call this integral the potential difference). If you attach a voltmeter between the 2 ends of a self inductor you will not measure zero, but you will measure L*dI/dt. The reason is that now you create a loop with the L and the Voltmeter. According to Faraday's law the closed loop integral of E.dl in that loop is -dphi/dt. The conclusion is that in case where Faraday's law must be used, the integral of E.dl depends on the path. I suggest you watch my 8.02x lecture #16. You will see in action that the integral of E.dl depends on the path. Two voltmeters connected to THE SAME points in my circuit will read very different values - even the polarity is different. It's not very intuitive, because Faraday's Law is not intuitive. If you have problems with this, you are not alone. Keep in mind though that Faraday's law runs our entire economy. You may also want to watch (but you will only see the demo in my 8.02x lecture #16). kzread.info/dash/bejne/fq6IwbuTYNupdrw.html

Dear Walter, confirm please "Two voltmeters connected to THE SAME points"? as it looks that really voltmeters connected to resistors ends (NOT THE SAME points) in that experiment but not same points - and there present gap of conductor line, if so this gaps of conductor line between resistors connections can be replaced with equivalent battery sign as there inducted emf from external magnetic field - and after redrawing this schema to reflect real processes this experiment became clearly explained : first resistor (. here one voltmeter connected) -eq. battery+ (. here second voltmeter connected) second resistor (. here second voltmeter connected again ) -eq. battery+ (.connection to first resistor, here first voltmeter connected )

Sir what will happen after the connection. If I connect a finite current carrying inductor(say 5A) across a inductor having no current initially. (We assume small series resistance of inductor.) Will the current just after connection be 5A or 0 A. As we say that inductor resist sudden current change.

Professor Lewin: THANKS FOR BRINGING THE WORLD'S GREATEST PHYSICS LECTURES INTO MY HOME! One tragic thing about the 30H inductance delay demo at timestamp 20:30 ... The experiment only demonstrates HALF of the lecture. This is sad, especially since it is SO VERY trivial to modify the circuit and demonstrate the RL delay SLOWING the light bulb going OFF when the power source is switched off.

I agree Professor, Physics is not Mathematics, it is when you understand the meanings of mathematical equations.

thats amazing, i like how you teach and your lecture.

The solution of the differential equation for the case of the AC power supply has also an exponential term c1*exp((-R/L)t) added to the one that you showed (where c1 is a constant). Why did you omit that term? Did you assume that it is negligible?

I have heard that a battery always maintains the potential difference across its terminals even in the presence of external electric fields. So shouldn't the battery's voltage dynamically increase in response to the induced electric fields' opposition to the voltage ?

I think at low frequency or for dc currents kirchhoff loop law is a good approximations as the change in flux in the ckt loop can be neglected or is approximately equal to zero only at very high frequency ac currents where the change in flux can noticed kirchhoff laws would be violated hence we can say for the transient condition ie when the current is rising from zero to its steady state value kirchhoff loop is not applicable but for the steady state condition where I is a constant or reached it max value kirchhoff loop law is applicable anyone please correct me if I am wrong

in DC current there is no dphi/dt. Thus according to Faraday's Law, the closed loop integral of E dot dL = zero. Some people call this Kirchhoff's Loop rule without realizing that it REALY is Faraday's Law which is one of Maxwell's 4 eqs. The statement that dphi/dt can be ignored for low frequencies is not meaningful as it all depends on the magnitude of the inductance in the system. After all -dphi/dt=-L*dI/dt

The way I'd solve it, is to assume the solution is a linear combination of sine and cosine functions at the same frequency as the source, with arbitrary coefficients A & B. Then apply this prototype solution and its derivative to the original equation, and set up a pair of linear equations to solve for A & B. The sine terms have to add up to zero, and the amplitudes of cosine terms have to add up to V0. The solution: I(t) = A*cos(ω*t) + B*sin(ω*t) A = V0*R/((ω*L)^2 + R^2) B = V0*L*ω/((ω*L)^2 + R^2)

Good Morning Walter, I hate how in school we were told that the phase lag of the current when entering an inductor is always 90deg... This is just lazy. At 43:23 I like how we see that there is always a 90deg phase lag between the CURRENTS in the two bodies having mutual EM induction. That obviously comes from the fact that dcos(wt)/dt = -sin(wt) in dI/dt in Faraday's law. That is a solid assumption. Otherwise the two bodies would attract 100% of the time, but that is obviously not the case. I thank you for pointing that out. And the fact that the self-inductance in the aluminum plate is non-zero is the only reason why we get levitation is now very clear. Now, I would like to know what happens if we apply this exercise to self-induction in an inductor. Let's say we excite an LR circuit with an AC current I_s*cos(wt). Then, there will be an opposing EMF self-induced (Faraday-Lenz) that will generate an AC current -I_i*sin(wt), that has a 90deg phase lag with the driving current, as for the woman levitation demonstration. Now do we have to add a phase lag tan(phi) = wL/R on the induced current? Now how do these two currents (source and induced) collide? They are definitely not in phase! At least 90deg difference or maybe even 180deg...! Is it how we can derive tan(phi)= wL/R ? I checked google and I could not find a fulfilling answer. Maybe I can try to simulate that by modelizing the inductor with a AC current source that has a phase lag and goes against a driving AC current...! Thanks! Xavier

Thank you Professor Lewin, your teaching style is awesome and inspirational! I was also wondering if it’s wrong to say there’s a voltage drop in an inductor, because that would be as if it behaved by KVL, which of course it doesn’t.

Any induced emf (Faraday's Law) will show up in the ohmic resistance portion of a circuit. Feynman: In a ''perfect conductor'' there is no resistance whatever to the current. So if currents are generated in it,they can keep going forever .In fact,the slightest emf would generate an arbitrarily large current -which really means that there can be no emf at all.Any attempt to make a magnetic flux go through such sheet generates currents that create opposite B fields -all with infinitesimal emf's,so with no flux entering. If we have a sheet of a perfect conductor and put an electromagnet next to it, when we turn on the current in the magnet, currents called eddy currents appear in the sheet, so that no magnetic flux enters.

Prof Lewin, the magnetic field outside the inductor is approximately zero and therefore the electric field everywhere outside the inductor is conservative. Thus, when applying Faraday's law, you can choose the closed loop that bypasses the inductor, i.e. you do NOT go through the inductor - you start at one end of inductor, go outside and enter at the other end. That way, the closed loop integral will be ZERO and therefore you CAN use kirchhoff law. You just need to carefully specify the curve.

that is 100% correct. I mention this in one of my videos. It is important for students to realize that. Becoz when you attach a voltmeter over a superconducting coil it creates a loop with the selfinductor. The integral E dot dL through the volrmeter is +or -Ldi/dt but zero through the selfinductor. You can then also draw a closed loop (bypass the selfinductor) in which KVL applies. However, if you want to know what the voltmeter indicates you *must* include the loop voltmeter-selfinductor (see above).

But initially when we switch on the supply, if there's no actual flow of current (that is, current *changes* from 0 to some value) which is supposed to change the flux across the inductor and produce induced emf which inturn opposes that change in current flow. "di/dt can be large when i=0" I agree this is possible, when we have been running the circuit for sometime, for example with a sinusoidal voltage, the change is maximum when i=0 like in a pendulum, but when we switch on the supply, the pendulum is at rest ... Isn't it? So my question is; is there a change in current (from 0 to some very small value, with steep slope) the moment we switch on the circuit? Kindly bare with me if you had already addressed this in your answer.

Hi, professor Lewin, how come so many books are wrong (in this issue of Kirchoff's loop rule vs Faraday's law) and so many smart people go along with it?

Professor lewin, 9:30. How can integral of E.dl be equal to d(phi)/dt, where phi is the magnetic flux thru the solenoid. When we are integrating on the left hand side over the entire circuit, is it right to consider the magnetic flux change only thru the soap film surface attached to the solenoid(which is the rhs of the equation), the surface considered here doesn't even touch the whole current loop (referring to lecture 17).

your should try to understand Faraday's Law. If you take a copper ring and you quickly move a bar magnet into or out of the ring, a current will flow through the ring. I do this demo in 8.02 where the ring is a copper coil which hundreds hundreds of windings but it's only 1 wire. There is a light bulb in the wire and when you move the magnet quickly in or out the light bulb lights up. This is the way we generate electricity. Faraday's Law runs our entire economy. The closed loop integral of E dot dl -dphi/dt. Any dphi/dt, no matter how or by whom a dphi/dt is produced, will produce an induced EMF in the closed loop.

Sure. Think of L as analogous to inertia, and current as analogous to speed. You'll see an analogy between circuits with capacitance, resistance, and inductance, and vibration setups with a spring, a damper and a mass. The same differential equation governs both kinds of systems. Capacitance is analogous to the flexibility of the spring (inverse of the Hooke's law constant). Resistance is analogous to the viscosity rate of a linear damper. Inductance is analogous to the mass, as it resists a change in current, just like mass resists a change in speed.

11:36 I find this easier. Add emfs together, and it's the sum of the components: V-LdI/dt=IR+0 Energy sources = Energy losses. The self inductor is a 'negative source' wrt the input voltage V, because it reflects back energy put into it rather than let it out as heat or some other loss.

good question. The resistance of the light bulbs increases with temperature. When both lights are fully lit, each light bulb probably has a resistance of 50 ohms *or even more* (I discuss this in a different lecture + demo) . When we open the switch the current is now going around in the loop with L, 4 + >50 + >50 + 4 ohms. Thus L/R is now 30/>108=

the work is done by electric charges which create the B-fields. When all the magnetism comes from classical currents, the magnetic field does no work directly on the currents. However, by steering the electrons in new directions it can cause them to bounce off things and do work. Once the current carrying loops start moving, they create electric fields that do work on the currents.

That's a good question. When I open the switch both lights go out very quickly. The reason is that when the filaments are cold the resistance is 10 Ohm but when they are hot the resistance is much larger then 10 Ohm. In addition when I open the switch the current can now only go in the upper loop which contains both lights + twice 4 ohms. The net result is that L/R of both "effects" is now much smaller than 3 sec.

When the switch is closed current flows separately from the battery through the L + lamp and through R + lamp. That is no longer possible when I open the switch. When I open the switch, the ONLY way that current can flow is "circling" around in the loop which contains BOTH lamps and BOTH 4 Ohm resistance. Thus now the same current going through L MUST also go through the other lamp and resistor (and that was NOT the case when the switch was closed). That in creases R, thus L/R goes down.

Engineers who design and layout circuits need to be aware of how magnetic flux in inductors can couple into other parts of a circuit. Circuit Theory textbook authors want to describe everything in terms of voltages and currents. Parameters that depend on the physical layout of a circuit are a complicating detail authors either don't know about (sadly), or are unwilling to take the time, effort, pages to explain properly. Some circuit theory books will use a separate dependent voltage source to represent the emf from a coupled inductor (mutual inductance), so that's a step in the right direction I suppose. I teach an introductory circuit theory class for electronics technicians at a local community college, and watching this lecture has definitely given me some things to consider when teaching students about inductors and magnetic induction. I'll admit, I am watching your lectures not so much for the physics (although it's a good review), but more for observing your teaching methods, as I am relatively new to teaching.
