Electrodynamics Flashcards
Electromagnetism
A magnetic field exists around a permanent magnet or a current carrying conductor
Motors
Convert electrical energy into mechanical energy
Magnetic flux density
A representation of the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field
Magnetic flux linkage
The product of the number of turns on the coil and the flux through the coil
Faraday’s Law
The emf induced is directly proportional to the rate of xhange of magnetic flux
Lenz’s Law
The induced current flows in a direction so as to set up a magnetic field to oppose the change in magnetic flux
Generators
Convert mechanical energy into electrical energy
Ideal transformer
Input power is equal to output power
Diode
A component that only allows current to flow in one direction
