What are the two types of magnets?
- Natural magnets
- Electromagnets
What’s the difference between the two magnets
One is made using electricity
What are the symbol and units of flux
Symbol: Φ or φ (Phil)
Unit: Weber (Wb)
What are the symbol and units of flux density
Symbol: B
Unit: Tesla (T) or (Wb/m^2)
How many poles are there on a magnet
There’s 2 N poles and 2 S poles
On the magnet, where would the flux go to and out from
the flux would enter from the south pole and exit from the north pole
What is the equation of flux density
Magnetic flux density = magnetic flux / area (B=Φ /A)
What are the symbol and units for Area
Symbol: A
Unit: m^2
What is the equation for force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field
F=BIL
F = force on the conductor in Newton (N)
B = magnetic flux density (T)
I = current flow in conductor (A)
L = length of conductor (m)
How to identify ‘motors’ and ‘generators’ with your hands
Left hand: Motor
- thumb = motion
- index = field
- middle = current
Right hand: generator
- thumb = motion
- index = field
- middle = induced emf
Who’s rule is the left and right hand method
Fleming’s rule
How does a ‘solenoid’ occur
- It occurs when a conductor is formed into a series of turns
- when an emf is applied to the conductor a magnetic field is formed
- if the turns of the conductor are woven around the core it will be identified as a ‘coil’
The strength of a magnetic field is dependent on
- Depends of the length of the conductor, increasing the number of turns strengthening the magnetic field
- The current running through the coils
- The type of former that the coil is rapped around
what is ‘Electromagnetic induction’
It’s the production of an electric current in a conductor moving through a magnetic field
What are the three dependent things need to strengthen an induced emf
- The size of magnetic field which would make the induced emf’s size to increase
- If the number of turns were to increase also increasing the size of the induced emf
- If movement speed were to increase so would the size of the induced emf
