Q

Define magnetic flux

A

A term that refers to the lines of force. The lines of force are known as lines of flux, so we get the term flux density.

16
Q

How are current and flux related?

A

As current changes, so does flux as current-turns drive flux

17
Q

How are flux and induced emf related?

A

emf is the gradient of the flux graph

18
Q

What is the transformer equation?

A

Vs/Vp = Ns/Np = Ip/Is

19
Q

How are the voltage in the primary coil of a transformer and voltage in the secondary coil related?

A

Antiphase relationship

20
Q

How are current and voltage related?

A

Voltage is differential of current

21
Q

How does a transformer work?

A

Alternating current in the primary coilProduces a changing magnetic field in the secondary coilMutual induction:Alternating pd across primary coilProduces an alternating fluxIron core increases flux and guides it to the secondary coilSecondary coil experiences changing flux which induces an emf

22
Q

How are the currents related in the coils of a transformer?

A

Antiphase relationship

23
Q

What are the 2 equations for permeance?

A

Capital lamda, ^, permeance = flux/current turns = phi/NI^ = permeability*area/length =muA/L

24
Q

What is the left hand motor rule?

A

First finger field; second finger conventional current; thumb force

25
Q

What is a catapult force?

A

The force experienced by a wire when placed in a magnetic field. Initially, field lines are distorted, but wire moves to make them straighter and shorter

26
Q

How do you calculate a catapult force?

A

F=BIL where B is magnetic field strength, I is current and L is length of conductor

27
Q

What is the right hand generator rule?

A

First finger field; second finger conventional current, thumb motion

28
Q

What is back emf?

A

The emf due to the generator effect

29
Q

How is the power drawn split in a motor (equation)?

A

VI=E(back)I + I^2R where VI is power drawn, E(back)I is power to move current against back emf and I^2R is power lost to thermal energy

30
Q

What is the equation for calculating the emf at a specific rotation (angle from horizontal to perpendicular to coil)?

A

E=NBAwsin(wt)where N is no. turns, B is flux density, A is area, w is actually omega is is angular frequency and t is time.

31
Q

At what rotation is the maximum emf achieved?

A

When coil is parallel to field lines

32
Q

How is angular frequency calculated?

A

w=d(theta)/dt or w=2(pi)/T=2(pi)f where T is time period and f is frequency

33
Q

A

V=2(pi)f*peak flux linkage
