Magnetic fields cause what?
Magnetic fields cause a moving charge to feel a force.
What do moving charges produce?
Moving charges produce a magnetic field around itself.
Explain the right hand grip rule.
- Thumb: showing the direction of CONVENTIONAL current.
- Fingers: showing the direction of the magnetic field
How do you increase the strength of the magnetic field around a current carrying wire? (3 points)
- Increase the current
- Increases number of charges flowing
- Stronger magnetic field
How does a coil of insulated wire with current produce a magnetic field?
- Current flows through the wire
- Using the right hand rule the magnetic field goes through the middle of the coil
An example of a permanent magnet and a temporary magnet?
- Perm; bar magnet
- Temp; solenoid
Magnetic Flux Density is…
… is the density of magnetic field lines in a given area (strength of a magnetic field).
Letter and unit for Magnetic Flux Density
B, Tesla (T)
Flux is…
… is a scalar measure of the magnetic field interacting with a surface area
Letter and unit of Flux
Φ, Weber (Wb)
Flux linkage is…
… is the flux interacting with multiple loops in a coil, rather than just one wire/surface
