How to change a A.C current to a D.C current?
By adding a diode in the circuit. Diode only allow current to flow in one direction
What does LED stands for?
Light emitting diode
What is the similarity and difference between normal diode and LED?
both allow the current to flow in one direction
LED ,however, give out light when current pass through
What are the two advantages of LED?
Small
Have a long life
Explain why there will be an induced current when a magnet is push into the solenoid.
When the magnet is pushed inside the coil, the magnetic field line from the magnet ‘cut’ the coil. There will be a changing magnetic field around the coil, so there will be a induced electromotive force (E.M.F) and thus there will be a induced current produced.
Explain why there will will not an induced current when a magnet is stationary in the coil.
When the magnet is not moving, the magnetic field from the magnet is not ‘cutting’ the coil, thus there will not be a changing magnetic field, which in turn, no induced current will be produced
What does electromagnetic induction effect means?
The process which an induced e.m.f is produced in a conductor due to a changing magnetic field
How to determine the direction of flow of the induced current? (In the case of the solenoid)
Using Len’z Law (In the case of a solenoid), when the magnet is push into the coil, an induced current will form a pole which will oppose the motion of the magnet.
For example, if the magnet is pushing in from the right, with an N-pole entering the coil first, a N-pole will form at the end of the solenoid to repel the N-pole of the magnet.
What are the three ways to increase the strength of the induced current?
Increase the number of the coil
Increase the strength of the magnet
Increase the speed of the magnet moving in and out of the solenoid
What is the prior condition for a induced current to be produced?
A CHANGING magnetic field
How to determine the direction of flow of the induced current ? (in the case of magnet moving up and down in between N and S pole)
Use the Fleming’s right hand rule.
Thumb represent the motion of the magnet
Second finger represent the magnetic field
Middle finger represent the current
What does a Generator do?
Generator is a device in which a coil is rotated in a magnetic field to produce eletricity
Hoe does a generator work (Diagram refer to notes)
The coil is made to rotate in the space between the magnet. As the coil rotates, the coil ‘cut’ through the magnetic field, so there will be an induced e.m.f and thus produced an induced current.
Initially, the coil is parallel, as it rotate 180 degree, the current direction is reversed, making the coil continue to turn in a clockwise direction. Thus, an alternating current is produced.
What is the purpose of the SLIP ring
Provide connection between the coil and the outer circuit, so that alternating current can flow in the external circuit
Prevent coil to be entangled
In a simple generator set-up (Diagram refer to notes), why there is no current induced when the coil is vertical?
As the coil is PARALLEL to the field, there is no change in the magnetic field, thus there will be no induced e.m.f and thus no induced current.
In a simple generator set-up, induced e.m.f is maximum when the coil is horizontal, why?
When the coil is horizontal, the rate of change of magnetic field is maximum
3 Factors in GENERATOR affecting the size of e.m.f (There can be other factors)
Speed of rotation
Strength of magnet
Number of turns in the coil
For the graph for factors in GENERATOR affecting size of e.m.f please refer to notes
okay
In a simple transformer set-up, when an electromagnet is placed next to a solenoid and it is switch on and off, why there is a induced current produced in the solenoid?
As we switch on and off the circuit of the electromagnet, there will be a changing magnetic field as the field lines of the electromagnet ‘cut’ through the solenoid. Thus there will be an induced e.m.f and thus there will be an induced current
In a simple transformer set-up, when an electromagnet with D.C current is placed next to a solenoid and it is switch on and off. What are the two modifications can be made to improve on this set-up?
Change the D.C current to A.C current, so that we do not need to switch the circuit on and off physical
Extend the electromagnet (Soft iron) to connect the two solenoid, so that the iron core will help to concentrate the field lines, more field lines will ‘cut’ through the coil and a greater induced current will be produced
