Electrical Flashcards
An electromagnet loses its magnetism when it is de energized
True
Higher currents in a conductor cause weaker magnetic fields around the conductor
False
An open circuit does not allow the current to return to the source
In a three phase generator the windings of the output are seperated by 120 mechanical degrees
