3. MIGRATION BIRDS: Migratory birds are one of the mysteries in the field of science. For
example, every winter birds from Siberia fly unerringly to water spots in the Indian
subcontinent. There has been a suggestion that electromagnetic induction may provide a clue
to the migratory patterns. The earth’s magnetic field has existed throughout evolutionary
history. It would be of great benefit to migratory birds to use this field to determine the
direction. As far as we know birds contain no ferromagnetic material. So, electromagnetic
induction seems to be the only reasonable mechanism to determine the direction. Consider
the optimal case where the magnetic field B , The velocity of the bird v and two relevant
points of its anatomy separated by a distance l ,all three are mutually perpendicular. From
the formula for motional emf. i.e., ε=Blv Certain kinds of fishes are able to detect small
potential differences. However, in these fishes, special cells have been identified which detect
small voltage differences. In birds no such cells have been identified. Thus, the migration
patterns of birds continue to remain a mystery. Read the above passage and answer the
following questions:

An AC generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The AC
Generator’s input supply is mechanical energy supplied by steam turbines, gas turbines and
combustion engines. The output is alternating electrical power in the form of alternating
voltage and current. AC generators work on the principle of Faraday’s law of electromagnetic
induction, which states that electromotive force – E.M.F. or voltage is generated in a current-
carrying conductor that cuts a uniform magnetic field. This can either be achieved by rotating
a conducting coil in a static magnetic field or rotating the magnetic field containing the
stationary conductor.

2. Bottle Dynamo: A bottle dynamo is a small generator to generate electricity to power the
bicycle light. It is not a dynamo. Dynamo generates DC but a bottle dynamo generates AC.
Newer models are now available with a rectifier. The available DC can power the light and
small electronic gadgets. This is also known as a sidewall generator since it operates using a
roller placed on the sidewall of bicycle tyre. When the bicycle is in motion, the dynamo roller
is engaged and electricity is generated as the tyre spins the roller. When engaged, a dynamo
requires the bicycle rider to exert more effort to maintain a given speed than would otherwise
be necessary when the dynamo is not present or disengaged Bottle dynamos can be
completely disengaged during day time when cycle light is not in use. In wet conditions, the
roller on a bottle dynamo can slip against the surface of the tyre, which interrupts the
electricity generated. This cause the lights to go out intermittently

3. Self-Induction. When a current I flows through a coil, flux linked with it is φ = LI, where L is a constant
known as self-inductance of the coil.
Any charge in current sets up an induced emf in the coil. Thus, self-inductance of a coil is the induced
emf set up in it when the current passing through it changes at the unit rate. It is a measure of the
opposition to the growth or the decay of current flowing through the coil. Also, value of self-inductance
depends on the number of turns in the solenoid, its area of cross-section and the permeability of its
core material.
