FUCK PHYSICS 2 Flashcards
___ that exert forces on a loop of wire carrying a current can be used to
measure very small currents.
Magnetic Fields
A small loop of ____ that is carrying a current is placed in
the strong magnetic field of a permanent magnet.
Wire
The current through the ____
goes in one end and out the other
Loop
The
___ of the force on the wire resulting from the magnetic field can be determined
by using a right-hand rule.
Direction
One side of the loop is forced
___ the other side is forced up.
Down
The resulting
___ rotates the loop.
Torque
The magnitude of the torque acting on the loop is proportional to the magnitude of the ___
Current
This principle is used in
___ to measure small currents.
Galvanometers
Thus the amount of torque is
___ to the current.
Proportional
A galvanometer can be used as a(n)
___ or an ammeter
Voltmeter
