Chpt 5 Part 3 Flashcards
branch of physics that deals with electricity and magnetism and the relationship between them
electromagnetism
(T/F) Electricity and magnetism are different aspects of the same force
True
Who proved that every electrical current (moving charge) produces an associated magnetic field
Oersted (1820)
What was Oersted’s experiment?
Set up a long wire that was supported near a free-rotating compass
What did the magnet do when no current was passed through, and when current was turned on? (Oersted Experiment)
No current = magnet pointed North
current = magnet pointed toward the wire
Oersted’s experiment provided evidence of what and that it was possible to do what to the Earth’s magnetic field?
- electromagnetism
- able to “override”
Who developed rules to determine the direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor?
John Fleming
(T/F) The flow of current and the flow of electrons are in the same direction
False
- opposite directions
( o ) thumb is toward you or away from you?
( x ) thumb is toward you or away from you?
- Toward you
- Away from you
Right hand represents what?
Left hand?
Right = current
Left = electron flow
Thumb represents what?
fingers?
Thumb = current flow
Fingers = direction of the magnetic field
A coil of wire
Solenoid
What does a solenoid become when current passes through it?
a magnet
The ability of a material to attract the lines of magnetic field intensity
permeability core
(T/F) a solenoid will produce a strong magnetic field
