Electromagnetic Induction Flashcards
study of the electromagnetic forces between electrically charged particles that is carried by electromagnetic fields
electromagnetism
electromagnetism is composed of _______ fields and _______ fields
electric fields and magnetic fields
in 1820, he discovered that a magnetic field is always associated with an electric current
Hans Christian Oersted
in 1831, August 29, he discovered electromagnetic induction by his famous induction ring experiment
Michael Faraday
it is an instrument for measuring a small electrical current or a function of the current by deflection of a moving coil
Galvanometer
changing magnetic field creates?
electric current
it is the creation of an electro-motive force by way of a moving magnetic field around an electric conductor
electromagnetic induction
states that the E M F induced in a wire is proportional to the rate of the magnetic through the loop
magnetic flux
measurement of the total magnetic field which passes through a given area
magnetic flux
the electrons keep switching directions, going forward and then backward
alternating current
the electrons flow steadily in a single direction
direct current
AC is ____ expensive and ____ to generate than DC
less, easy
AC can be transmitted across ______ distances without much energy loss, unlike DC
long
