Q

What did the magnet do when no current was passed through, and when current was turned on? (Oersted Experiment)

A

No current = magnet pointed North
current = magnet pointed toward the wire

16
Q

current carrying coil of wire wrapped around an iron core, which intensifies the magnetic field

A

electromagnet

17
Q

The strength of the magnetic field is determined by what three things?

A
  • number of loops / turns of wire
  • strength of the current (battery)
  • permeability of the core material
18
Q

(T/F) a current moving through a conductor will produce a magnetic field

A

true

19
Q

a magnetic field moving over a what can induce an electrical current in it

A

conductor

20
Q

Who determined that the magnetic lines of force and the wire must have a motion relative to each other to induce an electrical current

A

Faraday (1821)

21
Q

3 ways to create motion between the conductor and the magnetic field to induce electrical current

A
  • move the conductor through a stationary magnetic field
  • move the lines of force without changing the field strength
  • vary the magnetic field strength
22
Q

whenever a conductor cuts across the magnetic flux or when a conductor is cut by a magnetic field, what is induced in the conductor?

A

electromotive force (emf) or potential difference

23
Q

the interaction of one life of force and one loop of conductor is called?

A

flux linkage

24
Q

the magnitude of the induced emf is determined by what?

A

by the number of flux linkages per second

25
Q

4 factors that influence the magnitude of induced emf (Faraday’s law or first law of electrodynamics)

A
  • strength of the magnetic field
  • speed of the motion
  • angle
  • number of loops/coils
26
Q

the stronger the magnetic field the ______ the flux lines are, therefore the ____ flux lines that are cut (flux linkages) per second. The _____ the induced emf

A

closer together
more
more

27
Q

the faster the conductor is traveling the ___ flux linkages per second

A

more

28
Q

The closer to ___ degrees the more flux linkages per second

A

90
