Exam Review Flashcards
Types of magnets
Are either permanent or temporary
Magnets:
Objects that produce a magnetic field
Ferromagnetic material:
Iron, cobalt, and alloys of them
Magnetic field:
- Distribution of magnetic force in the region of a magnet
- stringer near magnet & poles
- forms loops of line which do not cross
Soft ferromagnetic material:
Remains magnetic only in presence of b field
Hard ferromagnetic materials:
Remains magnetic after b field has been removed
Demagnetizations occurs when:
A magnet is physically disturbed or heated to a very high temp
Magnetic field is directed from:
N —> S outside magnets
And
S —> N inside magnets
What are dipoles:
Smaller magnets inside magnets
Each dipole can interact with each other if:
- the dipoles line up in a single direction
- small magnetic domains are created (like little bar magnets)
What happens to the domains in a strong magnetic field:
The small magnetic domains line up forming 1 large magnet (with n & s poles)
Breaking a magnet in 2 results in:
The domains remaining aligned and 2 new magnets r formed
Disrupting the alignment of the domains (so dipoles are randomly distributed) results in:
Demagnetization
Permeability:
Ferromagnetic material have high magnetic permeability meaning the the ability to enhance magnetic field (ex: magnetic keepers + electromagnetic cores)
Oersted principle:
Charge moving through a conductor produces a circular magnetic field arlunf the conductor.
How does electric charge flow in Electron current flow:
(-) —> (+) side of battery
How does electric charge flow in conventional current flow:
(+) —> (-) side of the battery
A permeable core can:
Enhance magnetic strength (depending on the core)
Cooling wire Changes:
The magnetic field strength
Motor principle:
When a current carrying Conductor is placed or located in an external magnetic field the conductor experiences a force that is perpendicular to both itself and the external magnet
How does a motor work
When electricity is turned on the current flows through the wire. The wire experiences a force causing it to move in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field
Motor principle explanation:
- Magnetic field produced around the current carrying conductor interacts with the external magnetic field of the magnet.
- the 2 fields cause the wire to experience a force
Farradays law:
Moving or changing the strength of a magnetic field near a conductor causes (induced) current to glow in the conductor
Actions resulting in current being produced:
- moving a conductor through the b field
- moving a b field near a conductor
- changing the strength of a b field near a stationary conductor
Factors affecting size of induced current:
- # of coils (⬆️ turns = ⬆️ induced current)
- Rate of change of motion of inducing b field (⬆️ rate = ⬆️ induced current)
- Strength of inducing b field (⬆️ magnetic strength = ⬆️ induced current
Generators consist of:
A turbine, generator, Strong magnets and coils of wire
Generators convert:
Kinetic energy to electrical energy
Generator:
Is reverse to an electric motor. Uses motion to produce electricity
An electric motor uses:
Electricity to produce motion
Once electricity is produced it:
Is transmitted to ur home over transmission lines and is converted to a lower voltage & then into our homes
Ohm’s law=
V = IR
Power: (magnetism & electricity equation)
P = VI = I^2R
Kinematics:
The study of motion. Deals with how objects move without reference to the forces or agents that cause motion
Basics of motion:
- measurement / calculation (skills)
- uniform & accelerated motion (experimental and mathematical)
- vectors and scalars
Vectors:
Values/ measurements that both have direction and magnitude (ex: position, displacement, velocity)
Scalars:
Values and measurements That I have on the magnitude. There is no reference to direction (ex: distance & speed)
