A __________ always surrounds a conductor in which an electric current is flowing.
magnetic field
The right hand THUMB rule demonstrates:
the direction of magnetic field around a current
A magnetic field CANNOT be demonstrated surrounding a conductor in ______________ .
alternating current
Whenever a conductor cuts across a magnetic field, or is cut by a magnetic field, __________ is induced into the conductor.
EMF
A helix carrying an electric current is a(n):
solenoid
When an iron rod is introduced into a solenoid and becomes a electromagnet, the strength of the:
magnetic flux increases
The magnitude of the induced EMF depends on the number of lines of force per second called __________ .
flux linkage
As the strength of the field in which the conductor cuts increases, the induced EMF __________ .
increases
When an EMF is induced in the coil in a direction opposite to the applied EMF, this is termed:
self induction
When the conductor moves at an angle away from perpendicular to the lines of force, the strength of the induced EMF:
decreases
The magnitude of the current induced decreases as the speed with which a wire cuts the magnetic lines of force:
decreases

A device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy is a:
motor
Which of the following devices utilizes iron bars, source of external current and a rotor is a(n)?
induction motor
In order for a generator to continue to produce current it must be attached to a(n):
