ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM Flashcards
A danish scientist and chemist
Hans Christian Oersted
he accidentally discovered that an electric current can produce a magnetic field
Hans Christian Oersted
Physicists that discovered that electric fields can produce a magnetic field
Joseph Henry & Michael Faraday
A process where changing magnetic field can produce electric current
Electromagnetic induction
2 products of electromagnetic induction
induce current, induce electromotive force (emf)
Flow of electric charges in a given material
Electricity
Attraction of electron
Current
occurs when there is flow of charges
Current
Dynamic duo
Electricity, magnetism
Dynamic duo means:
When there is electric current, there is a magnetic field
They remain changing
Dynamic duo
Attraction and repulsion
Magnetism
Did Joseph Henry and Michael Faraday work independently?
Yes
Faraday’s law:
Whenever there is change in the magnetic flux in a circuit, an induced current will be produced
Lenz’s law
States that induced current flowing direction so as to oppose the charge causing it
