Materials that have permeability slightly less than
that of free space are said to be diamagnetic and
those with permeability slightly greater than that of
free space are said to be paramagnetic.

Permeability
Magnetic materials, such as iron, nickel, steel and
alloys of these materials, have permeability hundreds
and even thousands of times that of free space and are
referred to as ferromagnetic.
The ratio of the permeability of a material to that of
free space is called relative permeability.

Inductance
Inductors are designed to set up a strong
magnetic field linking the unit, whereas capacitors
are designed to set up a strong electric field
between the plates.
Inductance is measure in Henries (H).
One henry is the inductance level that will establish
a voltage of 1 volt across the coil due to a chance in
current of 1 A/s through the coil.

Induced Voltage
If a conductor is moved through a magnetic field so that
it cuts magnetic lines of flux, a voltage will be induced
across the conductor.
Induced Voltage
Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction
The greater the number of flux lines cut per unit time (by
increasing the speed with which the conductor passes through
the field), or the stronger the magnetic field strength (for the
same traversing speed), the greater will be the induced voltage
across the conductor.
If the conductor is held fixed and the magnetic field is moved
so that its flux lines cut the conductor, the same effect will be
produced.
Induced Voltage
Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction
If a coil of N turns is placed in the region of the
changing flux, as in the figure below, a voltage will be
induced across the coil as determined by Faraday’s
Law.
Induced Voltage
Lenz’s law
An induced effect is always such as to oppose the cause that
produced it.
The inductance of a coil is also a measure of the
change in flux linking a coil due to a change in
current through the coil

The voltage across an inductor is directly related to the
inductance L and the instantaneous rate of change through the
coil. The greater the rate of change of current through the coil,
the greater the induced voltage.
Electromagnetic Induction
The phenomenon of flux lines cut the conductor to get
Induced e.m.f in the conductor or coil is called
electromagnetic induction.
The induced emf sets up a current in such a direction so as to
oppose the cause producing it. Mathematically this opposition is
expressed by a negative sign
An induced emf which is due to physical movement of coil
or conductor w.r.t flux or movement of magnet w.r.t to
stationary coil or conductor is called dynamically induced
emf or motional induced emf
The change in flux lines w.r.t coil can be achieved without
physically moving the coil or the magnet. Such induced emf in
a coil which is without physical movement of coil or magnet is
called statically induced emf.
The emf induced in a coil
due to the change of its own
flux linked with it is called
self induced emf.
This emf lasts till the current
in coil is changing. The

obtained by lenz law.
Historical
James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879), a graduate in mathematics from
Cambridge University, in 1865 wrote a most remarkable paper in which
he mathematically unified the laws of Faraday and Ampere. This rela-
tionship between the electric field and magnetic field served as the basis
for what was later called electromagnetic fields and waves, a major
field of study in electrical engineering. The Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE) uses a graphical representation of this
principle in its logo, in which a straight arrow represents current and
a curved arrow represents the electromagnetic field. This relationship
is commonly known as the right-hand rule. Maxwell was a very active
theoretician and scientist. He is best known for the “Maxwell equa-
tions.” The maxwell, a unit of magnetic flux, was named after him.

13.1 Introduction
The circuits we have considered so far may be regarded as conduc-
tively coupled, because one loop affects the neighboring loop through
current conduction. When two loops with or without contacts between
them affect each other through the magnetic field generated by one of
them, they are said to be magnetically coupled.
The transformer is an electrical device designed on the basis of the
concept of magnetic coupling. It uses magnetically coupled coils to
transfer energy from one circuit to another. Transformers are key cir-
cuit elements. They are used in power systems for stepping up or step-
ping down ac voltages or currents. They are used in electronic circuits
such as radio and television receivers for such purposes as impedance
matching, isolating one part of a circuit from another, and again for
stepping up or down ac voltages and currents.
We will begin with the concept of mutual inductance and intro-
duce the dot convention used for determining the voltage polarities of
inductively coupled components. Based on the notion of mutual induc-
tance, we then introduce the circuit element known as the transformer.
We will consider the linear transformer, the ideal transformer, the ideal
autotransformer, and the three-phase transformer. Finally, among their
important applications, we look at transformers as isolating and match-
ing devices and their use in power distribution.
coil is proportional to the number of turns N and the time rate of change
of the magnetic flux f; that is,
df
vN (13.1)
dt
But the flux f is produced by current i so that any change in f is
caused by a change in the current. Hence, Eq. (13.1) can be written as
df di
vN (13.2)
di dt
or
di
vL (13.3)

which is the voltage-current relationship for the inductor. From Eqs. (13.2)
and (13.3), the inductance L of the inductor is thus given by

This inductance is commonly called self-inductance, because it relates + 11 +
the voltage induced in a coil by a time-varying current in the same coil. i1(t) v1 v2
Now consider two coils with self-inductances L 1 and L 2 that are
in close proximity with each other (Fig. 13.2). Coil 1 has N1 turns, − −
while coil 2 has N2 turns. For the sake of simplicity, assume that the N1 turns N2 turns
second inductor carries no current. The magnetic flux f1 emanating Figure 13.2
from coil 1 has two components: One component f11 links only coil 1, Mutual inductance M21 of coil 2 with
and another component f12 links both coils. Hence, respect to coil 1.

We will see in the next section that M12 and M21 are equal; that is,
M12 M21 M (13.17)
and we refer to M as the mutual inductance between the two coils. Like
self-inductance L, mutual inductance M is measured in henrys (H).
Keep in mind that mutual coupling only exists when the inductors or
coils are in close proximity, and the circuits are driven by time-varying
sources. We recall that inductors act like short circuits to dc.
From the two cases in Figs. 13.2 and 13.3, we conclude that mutual
inductance results if a voltage is induced by a time-varying current in
another circuit. It is the property of an inductor to produce a voltage
in reaction to a time-varying current in another inductor near it. Thus,
Alternatively, M

If a current leaves the dotted terminal of one coil, the reference polar- +
ity of the mutual voltage in the second coil is negative at the dotted di1
terminal of the second coil. v2 = – M

Thus, the reference polarity of the mutual voltage depends on the ref-
erence direction of the inducing current and the dots on the coupled (b)
coils. Application of the dot convention is illustrated in the four pairs
M
of mutually coupled coils in Fig. 13.5. For the coupled coils in i2
Fig. 13.5(a), the sign of the mutual voltage v2 is determined by the ref-
erence polarity for v2 and the direction of i1. Since i1 enters the dotted +
terminal of coil 1 and v2 is positive at the dotted terminal of coil 2, the di2
mutual voltage is M di1dt. For the coils in Fig. 13.5(b), the current v 1 = –M
dt
i1 enters the dotted terminal of coil 1 and v2 is negative at the dotted −
terminal of coil 2. Hence, the mutual voltage is M di1dt. The same
reasoning applies to the coils in Fig. 13.5(c) and 13.5(d). (c)

As a second example, consider the circuit in Fig. 13.7(b). We analyze
this in the frequency domain. Applying KVL to coil 1, we get

For coil 2, KVL yields
0 jM I1 (ZL jL2)I2 (13.22b)
Equations (13.21) and (13.22) are solved in the usual manner to deter-
mine the currents.
One of the most important things in making sure one solves prob-
lems accurately is to be able to check each step during the solution
process and to make sure assumptions can be verified. Too often, solv-
ing mutually coupled circuits requires the problem solver to track two
or more steps made at once regarding the sign and values of the mutu-
ally induced voltages.

Solution:
The key to analyzing a magnetically coupled circuit is knowing
the polarity of the mutual voltage. We need to apply the dot rule. In
Fig. 13.11, suppose coil 1 is the one whose reactance is 6 , and coil
2 is the one whose reactance is 8 . To figure out the polarity of the
mutual voltage in coil 1 due to current I2, we observe that I2 leaves the
dotted terminal of coil 2. Since we are applying KVL in the clockwise
direction, it implies that the mutual voltage is negative, that is, j2I2.

If we now maintain i1 I1 and increase i2 from zero to I2, the mutual
voltage induced in coil 1 is M12 di2dt, while the mutual voltage induced
in coil 2 is zero, since i1 does not change. The power in the coils is now

The total energy stored in the coils when both i1 and i2 have reached
constant values is
1 1
w w1 w2 L1 I 21 L 2 I 22 M12 I1I2 (13.28)
2 2
If we reverse the order by which the currents reach their final values,
that is, if we first increase i2 from zero to I2 and later increase i1 from
zero to I1, the total energy stored in the coils is
1 1
w L1 I 21 L 2 I 22 M21I1I2 (13.29)
2 2
Since the total energy stored should be the same regardless of how we
reach the final conditions, comparing Eqs. (13.28) and (13.29) leads us
to conclude that
M12 M21 M (13.30a)
and
1 1
w L1I 21 L 2 I 22 MI1I2 (13.30b)
2 2
This equation was derived based on the assumption that the coil
currents both entered the dotted terminals. If one current enters one
ale80571_ch13_555-612.qxd 11/30/11 2:07 PM Page 565
dotted terminal while the other current leaves the other dotted termi-
nal, the mutual voltage is negative, so that the mutual energy MI1I2 is
also negative. In that case,
1 1
w L1I 21 L 2I 22 MI1I2 (13.31)
2 2
Also, since I1 and I2 are arbitrary values, they may be replaced by i1 and
i2, which gives the instantaneous energy stored in the circuit the general
expression
1 2 1
w L1i 1 L 2 i 22
Mi1i 2 (13.32)
2 2
The positive sign is selected for the mutual term if both currents enter
or leave the dotted terminals of the coils; the negative sign is selected
otherwise.
We will now establish an upper limit for the mutual inductance M.
The energy stored in the circuit cannot be negative because the circuit
is passive. This means that the quantity 12L1i 21 12L 2i 22 Mi1i2
must be greater than or equal to zero:
1 1
L1i 21 L 2i 22 Mi1i2 0 (13.33)
2 2
To complete the square, we both add and subtract the term i1i2 1L1L 2
on the right-hand side of Eq. (13.33) and obtain
1
(i1 1L1 i2 1L 2)2 i1i2(1L1L 2 M) 0 (13.34)
2
The squared term is never negative; at its least it is zero. Therefore,
the second term on the right-hand side of Eq. (13.34) must be greater
than zero; that is,
1L1L 2 M 0
or
M 1L1L 2 (13.35)
Thus, the mutual inductance cannot be greater than the geometric mean
of the self-inductances of the coils. The extent to which the mutual
inductance M approaches the upper limit is specified by the coefficient
of coupling k, given by
M
